The folks at Wii news have posted a tutorial to load homebrew software and emulators on your Nintendo Wii.
They use the Gamecube Compatibility of the wii to pull this trick.
With a mere two weeks to run homebrew software, how long until we'll see the first Wii-software cracked?"

Today, Matt Cutts from the Google anti-spam team posted "How Google Handles Hacked Sites" and provides a blow-by-blow of what actually happened. In summary, Talk.Orgins was hacked, with hidden Javascript inserted to link to rape and animal sex web sites. Google's algorithms flagged this nefarious behavior as spam and did indeed de-index the site. They also flagged it in the WebMaster Console so the site owner would see this, plus even sent them Email that something was amiss — indications are they knew before the site owner did! Talk.Orgins has fixed the problem and Matt confirms that their re-inclusion request has been approved. While Google has a reputation for being non-communicative, they didn't do too shabby here IMHO."
