Free Wi-Fi Hotspots

Nintendo has announced a partnership with Wayport, a well known Wi-Fi provider, to make free wireless access points to DS owners at Macdonald's restaurants across the U.S. The first Wi-Fi game Mario Kart DS launches on November the 14th, which allows up to 4 Nintendo DS owners to verse one another over the internet. Along with Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Tony Hawk, and Metroid titles will also support Wi-Fi play, and will be released in the coming months.

Here is a drect quote from IGN's article:

The Wayport deal will make playing DS games online at McDonald's a relative breeze, according to Nintendo. When users want to play an online DS game at a Wayport-equipped McDonald's, they simply launch the title in Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection mode and they're good to go. There is no further setup required and no fees whatsoever.

Updated information on Nintendo's Wi-Fi can be found at
www.NintendoWiFi.com.

Alternately, gamers can also purchase a $35 USB router, which will enable Wi-Fi gameplay through a home computer, as long as it is broadband enabled. The device is expected to be released around the same time as Mario Kart. For more information, including pictures on the USB router, please check through this blog's previous articles :).

Summarising from
http://ds.ign.com/articles/659/659005p1.html, the same type of wi-Fi service will also be employed in the outcoming Revolution, to be released next year. Users can connect through their PC, or selected hotspots to play online.

    In relation to the last paragraph, the question had arisen by the people that how the diet can be eaten by us in the same form in which it was utilized by our ancestors.
    Obesity is an epidemic in our society. Grains, salt, processed oils, legumes, and any other
    food that is not available yet during the said era are not including in this special type
    of diet.

    The decline of the East side blues scene was disheartening, but, it also gave rise to
    the need for a fresh start, which came in the form of the next blues-only venue,
    Antone's, founded by the late Clifford Antone, during the summer of 1975.
