Its 2:54pm, do you know where your WiFi is?
This incredibly handsome utilitarian timepiece - WiFi Detecting Watch - can detect wireless networks within 100 meters outside.
This thing could actually come in handy while traveling, especially in urban areas where there is bound to be some open networks.
As a bonus, the watch features a prominent WiFi button for lightening-quick network searches AND a stunning rubberized wrist band! What more could a geek ask for?!

Mario Kart Wii: The legend continues
Mario Kart Wii is finally here! This latest update to the classic fan-favorite combines Mario Kart’s timeless gameplay with new tracks, vehicles, and features.
Most notably, players can now race online - competing against friends or random people around the world. Once you connect via Nintendo WFC, players see a real-time view of a current race and are then automatically included in the following round. Definitely takes M-Kart to the next level.
As expected, the graphics have not improved all that much. However, there are 16 new tracks in addition to 16 classics, along with new characters and vehicles. When combined with Wii Wheel interactive steering, the game provides for quite a satisfying experience.
Mario Kart Wii definitely delivers - continuing the legacy of this great franchise.
