Wii remotes could shut down a nuclear missile launch?

Accidentally, but still pretty cool:

Videogame systems are forbidden, a rule that was mocked until it got out that wireless Nintendo Wii controllers could cause the system to detect a false electromagnetic pulse attack and shut down.

Heh, you learn something new every day. Interesting article as a whole, too.

Nintendo is most likely making us lower our guard and purchase the Nintendo Wii system. Then, when the Wii reaches the government, they send out a signal that shuts down all electrical devices. Once that occurs, they bomb us.


Or it was a total freak accident.

Interesting. That's all I have to say.
