popsci.typepad.com— PopSci broke their Wii taking it apart for a photo shoot. Making the most of this sad development, they gave it a full autopsy.

Easier way to get in shape:Eat whatever you like, the more sugar and fat, the better, after all it tastes good. Exercise by walking to the fride/freezer/oven/toilet. Spend at least 4 hours a day using the computer, preferably more. Finally, and most importantly... Have a good metabolism. (Ok, so you have almost no control over this last part, but it works for me. Almost 6'5" and weigh about 170lbs, fit as a fiddle.)Anyway, what does your gut (or possible lack thereof now) have to do with the Wii's guts?Back on topic thankyou...
I generally like Nintendo and their consoles. But I f**kING HATE them for using these special screws.I know I can buy the drivers and I have also made 2 of them for de-dusting a gamecube, but it still pisses me off. For some reason they don't understand that most of us wouldn't have ever thought to take it apart so why try and stop them? But for those of us that have a pathological need to take things apart or the skill to preform repairs or modifications, it really annoys us and makes us loose respect for the company that does things like this.
The point is:He is complaining about Wii's graphical powerHe doesn't even know s**t about high-res in the first place.In other words, he's f**king retarded.
I just cut a notch in a slot head screw driver so that it looked like a fork with two very short prongs. The two prongs fit next to the two little nubs on the screw head.I did this with a file.A little trial ant error and I had it working perfectly.
LOLZ, they should just buy the Tri-Wing Screwdriver off of Ebay. I have all Nintendo Security Tools including the Gamebits to open up the Gamecubes and the Tri-Wing to open up the Gameboys. I have both the 4.5 mm and the 3.8 mm Gamebits. Just buy em' off of Ebay and have patience for them to come.

Yeah, the Wii really DOES look cool on the inside, doesn't it?

I see. If I wanted to get dugg up then I should have demolished my GCN in a more creative and fun way like nesdude and his friend did.
