Nibble Number One plan

GAMES console king Nintendo says it will launch a new online on-demand television channel through the Wii console.

The outfit has come up with a traditional daft name for the service, Wiinoma, and will support the content with advertising. Later there will be a pay-per-view service through the Wii Points system.

Wiinoma's content, which is being flogged through Japan's advertising supremo Dentsu, will be "family-oriented", so about as interesting as watching paint dry. µ

They should have called it WiiTV.

Or WiiWebTV.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
