James sent in this story about a child who broke an expensive TV after losing a tennis game on a Nintendo Wii. Little Adam McConnell, aged three-and-a-half, went to town on dad Brian's expensive 42in plasma screen after losing a match to the Nintendo Wii games console. The competitive youngster is now banned from the machine. Brian said that he nipped out to the kitchen to get his lad a drink at his Waterside home at the weekend when he heard a commotion - and it was his turn to exclaim: "You cannot be serious."
He also noted that Texas is banning speed camera and introducing red light camera warning signs. The warning sign legislation, authored by state Representative Bill Callegari (R-Katy), invalidates any red light camera ticket if motorists do not have advance notice of the presence of a ticketing machine at least 100 feet before the intersection.
Bit-Tech have covered a whole bunch of upcoming games at Ubidays 2007 including Haze, Assasin's Creed and Dark Messiah. Ubidays is something of a first, and it kind of shows. Not only is it the first major event that Ubisoft is holding since the downscaling of E3, with the Ubisoft CEO declaring it the new “E3 for Europe”, but it’s also my first major event since I started writing for bit-tech.

Bit-Tech have posted an article about the lack of in box functionality, namely with modern PC components. Now, I don't intend to slam any one company, but has any one of these launches been what one could consider a complete package, aside from maybe Core 2 Duo? Apparently, our dear tech industry has taken a lesson from the calculators of old - batteries, a basic functional necessity of the calculator, are no longer included.
Hardspell have checked out the new AMD Brisbane core processors, specifically the Athlon 64 X2 BE-2350 processor: 45W Brisbane 2.1GHz. Brisbane dual core series will use 65nm process, clock 1.9-2.3GHz, energy saver power consumption 45W. Take Athlon 64 X2 BE-2350 for example, before it was named Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 45W 1MB L2 Brisbane but in the future we can say it like these:
Craig sent in a story about mobile phones causing problems with intelligent car keys. The automaker is asking customers driving new models of two of its flagship sedans to keep their car keys and mobile handsets at least an inch apart to avoid disabling the "intelligent keys." Mobile phones kept near Nissan's I-Keys - wireless devices designed to allow drivers to enter and start their cars at the push of a button - can erase the electronic code on the keys, rendering them unable to unlock or start the cars.
