gizmodo.com — The Nintendo Wii's News Channel is basically a news wire service fed by AP stories. With a twist. By activating globe mode, you get hundreds of stories scattered across a 3D Globe, with thumbnailed images. The screenshots are pretty damn cool.

@zetsurin: I really, really want to block you......but then I'd be missing out on all of your insanely immature and idiotic attempts to elevate the PS3 out of the pit of despair. Great for a good laugh.

Ok Zetsurin, seriously, I'm curious as to why you care so much about the wii that you feel the need to put it down because people like it so much and you don't. Most people who put others down, really aren't very happy with themselves. I may be off, and only you know the truth, but I suspect that you're a lonely person, with few friends, and you feel that in order to get new friends, or to keep current ones you need to purchase something that few people have. Now the ps3 is something that few people could afford at the time, and maybe you or your parents (as I suspect you to be young, based on the maturity of your comments) could afford. There are also those who could afford it, but refused to pay the money.I think it's high time you try to improve yourself and get more friends. Cause dude, people who constantly rag on others for no *good* reason, tend to have fewer friends. (And the few you have that behave just like you don't count. They need to grow up too. You guys are just keeping yourself in an endless depressing loop).Watch some people that others tend to like, and I think you'll notice, that they tend to not put down others. And if you're in high school, this may not seem the case, but you can still find some examples.Good luck, you can keep trying to piss people off here, but for the most part, they're just laughing at you, and only you can stop that.

As much as I hate that song and pop culture references, that was actually pretty funny. Although I would assume the PS3 runs a bit hotter.

Holy crap!Using the +/- buttons to zoom in/out on articles is the coolest! The way the words whizz around the page is so fun.Who knew zooming could be so entertaining?

I can't stand the fact that you must have WiiConnect and standby mode enabled to view the Forecast Channel and the News Channel. Why can't we just receive updates while the system is on? I'd rather wait the extra minute to manually update than not receive the two channels at all.I wouldn't have a problem with standby mode if the Wii didn't heat up so much. I'll be waiting for an update allowing the fan to turn on occasionally in standby mode or an update to allow access without WiiConnect. I'd prefer the latter.

Definitely unbiased. The first story I saw was about the woman dying in the "Hold your wee for a wii" radio contest.
