]]> Turns out someone figured how to make the Nintendo Wii Remote (affectionately known as the WiiMote) interface with a PC, of the Windows, Mac, and Linux variety. You just need the following:

wiimote

Then, you can follow the instructions here. Personally though, I’m not sure if there are any worthy WiiMote apps for the computer. Yes, you can at the very least use a PC-enabled Wii Remote as a mouse (on Windows your use Wiinmote). But as anyone who’s played a Wii FPS will tell you, waving around a stick is nothing compared to precision-moving a mouse on top of the table.

]]> The Aura BluNote is a speaker set that accepts music streams via the Blutooth A2DP format, making it compatible with a wide variety of devices including PCs, laptops, mobiles, gaming consoles, and portable media players. It thankfully comes with a 3.5mm input jack for devices that don’t support Bluetooth.

Make Spracht wants you to know that the BluNote can store up to 8 Bluetooth device profiles, runs on an AC adapter or 4 AA batteries (both are included in the package), promises good audio quality through its Stereo Widening and Bass Boost functionality. On top of that, as a speaker, the BluNote also supports hands-free, conference-type calls when hooked up to a mobile phone.

A full review to follow if and when Spracht sends in a demo unit. In the meantime you can check out the product page and buy the BluNote here for $99.

]]> Considering a new desktop purchase? Make sure the new rig will have WiFi and Bluetooth capability, because that kind of connectivity will make life a lot easier.

The pictured WiFi and Bluetooth USB Adapter, available via chinavasion.com, provides everything while taking no more than one USB slot—at less than $20 at that.

The only question remaining is just how trustworthy chinavasion.com is. Comments on the online retailer’s legitimacy are welcome.
