Sorry for the lack of Wii hacks, but the truth is, there is nothing new to report. The hype with the Wii seems to have died down a bit, and no new developments have been made in regards to executing arbitrary code on the Wii console. While I wait in hopes that someone will finally unlock this little white box, there an another little white box in my life now... The Apple TV. And this one is completely hackable

The Internet Channel is out of beta, and a new download is available in the Shop Channel.
Nintendo and Opera has unleashed a new version of the beloved internet channel on the Nintendo Wii. It's new features include:
- Parental Control support - Optional Internet content filter provided by Astaro (available soon) - Improved start-up speed - Clearer text when zoomed-in - Improved Wii Remote navigation - Improved scrolling and zooming - Built-in search via Yahoo! or Google - Option to hide Toolbar - New cursor animations and operation sounds - Ability to view page security information - Option to delete cookies - Built-in support manual
It sounds like the most useful feature is going to be the option to hide the toolbar. Finally we can watch fullscreen movies on the wii in the browser! I'm upset not to see usb/bluetooth keyboard support in this release, maybe next time? The parental features are useless because kids will find a way around them, but I guess Nintendo has to at least make an attempt.
UPDATE: The latest browser breaks some things like playing long flv video files. Developers are searching for workarounds. Check Pimpware.org and WiiCR.org for more info.
