YouTube has been experimenting with a new website layout and player for some time now. I just noticed that all the videos that I embed in my blogs are played in their new player.

Checking the YouTube website, I couldn’t find the link to “revert back to the old design”. Does this mean YouTube has finally crossed over to their new designs? I have been using their new design for quite some time so I do not know when the actual transition took place.

The new layout and player looks more “Web 2.0″ and I like them very much. If only they could fight off the recording companies and allow us to embed all music videos freely in our blogs, I would like them more. *sigh*

Some have reported that their Wii remote slipped off their hand while playing the Wii. I guess the entire concept of the Wii remote may be so new that even the developers did not think that this problem will arise earlier. Who would have thought that a game remote will require a hand grip, right?

However, when you think of how the Wii remote is being used to play games like golf and tennis where it requires the player to swing the remote “wildly”, it really is a no brainer thing. Rackets and golf sticks have handle grips, why not the Wii?

Nintendo announced a new free Wii Remote jacket accessory. It enhances grip levels of the Wii remote to prevent it from slipping off. This new addon will be available in the middle of October. All new purchases after that should receive a free Wii remote jacket when they buy a Wii. Current Wii owners can order their Wii remote jacket for free at wii.com or Nintendo.com.
