I don’t really get excited about consoles, but the WiiU’s newly announced enormous, screen bearing controller looks to me like it will be joining the Wiimote and Kinect as a delightful object for hacking- lots of buttons and sensors, radio (presumably Bluetooth), large screen, and high-volume consumer electronics pricing. It should enable some neat multi-player dynamics (always Nintendo’s strong point), which I honestly expect to be a load of fun, but I’m more interested in seeing the inevitable uses as automation controllers and the like.

Please, please, stop referring to yourselves as ‘consumers.’ OK? ‘Consumers’ are different than citizens. Consumers do not have obligations, responsibilities, and duties to their fellow human beings. And as long as you’re using that word ‘consumer’ in the public discussion, you will be degrading the quality of the discussion we’re having, and we’re gonna continue to be clueless going into this very difficult future that we face.
