Wii System by Nintendo – Acceptable Exercise?
by webmaster on Nov.18, 2010, under Wii
The Wii definitely has people talking and apparently, exercising! Wii was originally released in 2006 and by Christmas 2007 had people scattering, scrounging and waiting outside various stores at 5 am in ice storms for one of the precious long awaited shipment! A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect acceleration in three dimensions. Another is the WiiConnect24, which enables it to receive messages and updates over the Internet while in standby mode. I would like to focus on the former feature and the associated buzz that Wii is providing exercise for its users.
Childhood obesity and the care of our elderly are both pressing social concerns in America. Wii seems to address both issues. Playing the Wii makes an impact on the user’s heart rate, energy expenditure and amount of calories burned. Independent studies are producing positive results that regular Wii gaming can decrease body fat, lower resting heart rate, lower BMI, and result in weight loss. There is a well documented study posted on the net by a man who added playing Wii sports into his daily activity regimen while leaving everything else the same. He too had positive results. You can find his work on http://wiinintendo.net/2007/01/15/wii-sports-experiment-results/. In his study boxing produced the most drastic results.
Elder care facility members have also been reaping the benefits of this system. This was a previously untapped market for video games. Wii has managed to engage nursing home residents mentally as well as physically. It has brought out a spirit of competitiveness that has been sedentary in a majority of them for quite some time. An additional benefit to Wii gaming for seniors is that they can participate in gaming with their children and grandchildren. The Wii gives seniors and their grandchildren some common ground and an activity they can participate in together and both enjoy.
The physical benefits of Wii gaming for children is a disputed point. Wii provides more exercise than traditional gaming of course, but should not encompass a child’s complete exercise regimen. It is recommended that a child receive at least 60 combined total minutes of exercise everyday. While playing Wii for 60 minutes a day would be more beneficial than watching television or playing a traditional video or computer game it should not substitute traditional play all together.
Outdoor play including participating in team sports has many benefits aside from physical activity. Social interaction, exposure to outdoor elements, exposure to new situations and environments are benefits gained from traditional play. These benefits foster imagination, creativity and a child’s sense of individuality. Furthermore, according to a study at John Moore University in Liverpool, England, playing Wii games such as Wii Bowling and Wii Sports, burns approximately 60 calories per hour. This is dramatically less calories burned than walking, running and participating in a sport.
Seniors and adults on average receive far less exercise performing their daily activities than a child. Wii gaming will have a more drastic positive effect on a person the more sedentary their lifestyle. In response to the hype about the physical benefits of Wii gaming, Wii is now marketing a product titled Wii Fit. Wii Fit is a pressure-sensitive balance board. The board is used for an array of dynamic activities including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and games. The activities are geared toward providing a core workout that emphasizes slower, controlled motions such as in Pilates and Yoga.
In summary, Wii gaming is being heralded for its physical benefits. These benefits are most notably being reaped by seniors who are participating in Wii gaming. When it comes to children however, Wii gaming should be considered part of a child’s active play and in no way substitute a child’s traditional outdoor play and participation in team sports.

Xbox 360 Ring of Death Fix
by webmaster on Nov.15, 2010, under Xbox 360
If you are taking the time to read this article you are facing a problem with the Xbox 360 Ring of Death and want to know how to fix it. The Xbox 360 Ring of Death problem occurs with no warning and produces three flashing red lights on your console. If there is a warning, it comes in the form of odd patterns appearing on your screen right before it freezes. The Xbox 360 Ring Of Death freeze might also be warned against by the buzzing noise. Two red lights occur and are found more often before the third light appears.
The Xbox 360 Ring of Death error happens because the hardware fails and the console overheats. The designers chose to do only the necessary cooling in the console to keep it slim and modern looking. Any graphics over 360, like what comes with the Xbox 360 Ring of Death, causes the heat sinks and fans to work incorrectly. A third of the consoles experience this problem. The new models are working better because they have been upgraded to fix this problem and now the failure rate has been lowered to about 10%.
To fix the dreaded Xbox 360 Ring of Death, Microsoft has been able to give a better three year warranty to offer help. If you choose to send the console in to be fixed, it could take between a month or two and a different console will probably be sent. This can almost guarantee that the same problem will occur again. You can try to fix it yourself and it is a simple thing to do.
You can try to wrap the console in a towel to prevent it from overheating. If it does overheat, you need to take the soldered joins that are melted apart and reconnect them. This is only temporary and will need to be done again after some time. You can also find the exact steps to take for this on the internet to make it simple to work through for the beginner.

How to solve a rubix cube revenge 4x4x4
by webmaster on Nov.12, 2010, under Game Cube
How To Solve A Rubix Cube? Well the Rubix cube is the second easiest puzzle in the world. The first easiest is the Rubix Pocket Cube, which is just the corner solution algorithm. Actually, Pyraminx and a couple of others that were popular around the time of Rubix Cube are much, much easier than even the Pocket Cube. But once you have mastered the Cube, a lot of others become much easier for you.
Coming up with your own algorithms for moving things around when the cube is half-solved (so that nothing that has already been accomplished is destroyed) is mind numbingly complicated. Making these algorithms very short is even more difficult. Personally, I figured out my own algorithms for the top and bottom layers, but for the bottom layer I had to resort to algorithms I had memorized from a solution book.
I finally had a breakthrough on Rubix Cube Solution, which I never actually figured out how to solve on my own, although admittedly I needed a few hints from a Web site before I saw how it could be done. My basic strategy is to match up all the centers and edge pieces, and then solve it as if it were a regular 3x3x3 rubix cube. What’s really aggravating about the Revenge, however, is that using this strategy it is possible to get down to the very end and discover a situation that is simply impossible on a 3x3x3 cube (e.g. one edge piece that needs to be flipped, or two edge pieces that need to be exchanged – or, worse, both). The former requires going back almost to the beginning of edge-piece matching and the latter requires going back to about the middle of the 3x3x3 solution, and you can’t tell which you need to do (or both!) until you are almost done with the last layer.
