Social Orb

What is going on in the world of social interaction

WiiNintendo.net

.::{WiiNintendo.net}::.

What an AWESOME blog! I found out about this blog after reading a article on Yahoo News (It’s official. Wii use can cause weight loss) on how one of the authors lost wieght playing with the Wii. Its got on Digg too (around 3000+ diggs to date).

Picture from WiiNintendo showing the guy who lost wieght using Wii

…Rocky could hld have used the Wii…

 The site has good info on it, its entertaining and best of all (which is the reason why I createdSocial Orb) it has people adding to the education and entertainment value. Education… entertainment… you heard it before: edutainment!

Great blog. I think I will feature it someday.

Also, to get more from useing a Nintedo Wii for excersize, click WiiWorkout.net of which will probably become the workout site haven.

Kind of strange I think that it has so many views but not too many favorites. It is a good video. Made by techdawg.

That was incredible! Only next time, I’d suggest not going with Crazy Frog as background music, that was annoying.

 

LOL

He made it work though

Line Rider: Urban Run

This is pretty detailed.

 

The guy (who happens to be on the team that makes Drupal, an open source CMS) gets like 30+ comments on his little creation. One near the bottom seems totally out of place. what the hell does “Dank ass sh*& my N**@*” have to do with anything? (words cleaned up)

Anyway, because of the comments, i found that there is a cool site called lovelinerider.com Once again the world of Web 2.0 has saved the day!!!

 

By the way, the video was favorited over 1600 times since december 2006 and has over 500 comments.

The Towel Trick fixes 360’s?

The Towel Trick fixes 360’s? « The Xbox Domain

Well, look what the web 2.0 is dishing out today. From Gizmodo to here on WordPress we have a story about saving your XBOX 360 with a towel.

Now, why does this work? heck, why does anything work after doing something wierd to it.

As usual, the web community can come up with some interesting responces to such a situation. We have about 30+ responces to this piticular subject on the site mentioned above:

aha the three lights…..

My trick works too..take a vacume, make sure it has the hose attachment, and suck at the xbox360’s vent for about 3 minutes. It will never turn off again, well mine didnt.

The next generation of 360 will have a disclaimer for nerds that put their house on fire thanks to their toweled 360.

My system bricked the other night shortly after getting the new dashboard update. I have a third generation xbox 360 and it has already broke. I can understand that its a complicated piece of hardware to mass produce and can accept that it is totally bricked. I should have got the intercooler. lol

And I guess this is why it works… darned if I know:

THe reason why it works is because some hardware in the 360 has a cold solder. a cold solder is when two peices of metal SHOULD be connected through a solder, but they arent, but when heated up, they expand and connect.

Isn’t the web a great place? Now you can fix your broken XBOX with a towel. Only in America.
