- MarkBarrera, on 05/22/2009, -0/+14Any great ideas on what can be done with this?
- MattCutts, on 05/22/2009, -1/+8One thing I've done is create an internet-connected scale (it automatically uploads your weight to a Google spreadsheet). I think lots of people would want to use pygame to write simple Wii-like video games with a few hundred lines of Python.
- jgubbe, on 05/23/2009, -1/+5Learn how to balance with porn. The better you balance the more the clothes come off.
- hevnsnt, on 05/23/2009, -0/+3apparently you guys have not seen the labywiinth?
http://blog.cowtowncomputercongress.org/wiifit-con ... - inactive, on 05/24/2009, -0/+3attention n00bs, Ubuntu is a flavor of LINUX (or gnu/linux o.O) so instead of saying "10 great apps for Ubuntu" or "Talking to a Wii balanceboard in Ubuntu" you can replace Ubuntu with "Linux" (or gnu/linux o.O)
- GavinZac, on 06/08/2009, -0/+2... no.
- klick37, on 05/23/2009, -2/+4This is the exact sort of thing I'd expect from someone who develops programs for Ubuntu, in both a good and sad way.
- withincontext, on 05/23/2009, -0/+2I like Python because it is a Lambda language, like JavaScript. This application has plenty of potential, such as integration with dietary or physical fitness applications. How about as a pedal input device for the physically challenged? Plus, if you a tactile response option in the WII balanceboard, then it becomes an output device.
My wife also does a lot of shipping for eBay and Amazon. I could see her using this as a scale. Not sure if it is precise enough right now, though. - freezerburn666, on 05/23/2009, -0/+2here kids it's time to play seagway simulator, put down the wii golf this is going to be even more exciting

Yet another Tony Hawk game - astyguy, on 05/23/2009, -0/+2talk is cheap ... show us the code !
- ethana2, on 05/25/2009, -0/+1Randall, that's crap. Sure, I'd like if it each ubuntu release had two or three more months of bug fixing, but compared to other distros? I hear novell is going 8 month with opensuse. That would make 2, the other being Debian stable.. but Debian stable releases are so few and far between..
Give us some solid competition, Novell. You can do it. - ethana2, on 05/23/2009, -0/+1No one cares about the man in the box.. the man who disappears.

- Pundan, on 05/24/2009, -0/+1Why?
- skaspud, on 05/23/2009, -0/+1nerd.
- SisyphusFragmnt, on 05/23/2009, -0/+1bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
- NC7U, on 05/23/2009, -1/+1Sobriety for stonners.
- buddamus, on 05/23/2009, -7/+8This is the joy of Linux, you can connect almost anything to it with just a bit of code
- poweredpark, on 05/23/2009, -1/+1new game, red dot in blue cross
- Feldon, on 05/28/2009, -1/+1it's just Linux lol gnu was another project aimed at the same thing but Linus beat him to it. so he's jealous and "corrects" everyone on it.
- paoloteo, on 05/25/2009, -1/+0test comment
- foofightrs777, on 05/23/2009, -4/+3But can the balance board run linux? ;)
- RandallMc, on 05/23/2009, -1/+0only reason why the ubuntu is so hi is becuse when people install it they search for "why don't my mouse work in ubuntu" ubuntu has more issues then any other distro .
- Sejes89, on 05/23/2009, -6/+2Im sure the people who made this had some reason to make it...well, maybe.
- Briandrews15, on 05/23/2009, -5/+1developers could make games with it! ..but I don't see how they would make money so it probably won't happen
- RandallMc, on 05/23/2009, -5/+0Again and Again this can be done with any linux distro. Ubuntu users are way to arrogant to see this. ***** ubuntu and ***** the users.
- ElChapusero, on 05/23/2009, -9/+2who cares?
