Then check this out, the official Lego Play and Build Remote for Nintendo Wii.

SAN JOSE MINE (Chile): To hugs, cheers and tears, rescuers using a missile-like escape capsule began pulling 33 men one by one to fresh air and freedom at last early Wednesday, 69 days after they were trapped in a collapsed mine a half-mile underground. Six men were pulled out in the first six hours of the apparently problem-free operation in the Chile’s Atacama desert a drama that saw the world captivated by the miners’ endurance and unity as officials meticulously prepared their rescue. First out was Florencio Avalos, who wore sunglasses to protect him from the glare of bright lights.

What is the Motorola MB860? It’s hard to say for sure, but it could be one of the infamous Tegra 2 tablets that Motorola’s been allegedly working on. Ameblo recently discovered that the MB860 had been certified for Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, and then noticed that the UPnP Forum had attached a curious codename — Olympus — to the device. This is where things get fairly fuzzy, but Android and Me recently reported that the Olympus was one of two Motorola tablets in testing — though it may not be the Stingray , as that supposed 10-inch device has an alphanumeric designation of its own: MZ600. For those of you inspired to go sluthing on your own, we’ve got a couple final notes. First, the Bluetooth SIG has already changed its MB860 filing to read BT0001, according to Google’s cache. Second, though the WiFi interoperability certificate above reads “smartphone,” that’s not necessarily true — according to the Wi-Fi Alliance , Samsung’s Galaxy Tab is a “phone” as well.
