Eurogamer - Mario Kart Wii Review
Nintendo seems to have butchered battle mode. Everything else sounds good, though.

Apple Software Update for Windows offering to 'update' Safari that was never installed to begin with
Apple Software Update for Windows offering to ‘update’ Safari that was never installed to begin with
Apple has made it incredibly easy — the default, even — for users to install ride along software that they didn’t ask for, and maybe didn’t want. This is wrong, and borders on malware distribution practices.
This is sure to hurt Apple’s reputation among people who know enough to see what’s going on, but also result in Safari conversions from people who only just barely know how to use their computers. Will the benefit to Apple outweigh the harm? I’m sure they have made internal predictions, but it was clearly a business decision at the expense of ethics.

Wii to Get Pay-To-Play Game Content
Wii to Get Pay-To-Play Game Content
Oh no.
The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Pay & Play service will allow users to spend Wii Points to purchase content or services for Wii games, extending the capability and longevity of those games.
I hope this doesn’t mean what I think it does: you’ll have to start paying extra for stuff you would have otherwise gotten included in the initial purchase price. Sony and Microsoft have been doing this, and it’s evil.
