This reminds me of the Stargate SG-1 episode "Window of Opportunity" where Earth and several other planets get stuck in a "Groundhog Day" type scenario, and only Jack O'Neill and Teal'c realize what's happening.

Do you have T-Mobile in your area? You could try their Hotspot@Home service; it lets you use your own home Wi-fi network for voice calls (provided that you have a compatible wi-fi-enabled phone like the BlackBerry Bold 9700)

Submission + - Washington's $50B tech plan derailed by lawsuit

Submitted by Stony Stevenson on Friday November 16, 2007 @09:46PM

Stony Stevenson writes: A group of technology service providers are claiming that the U.S. government broke its own laws when it selected contractors to participate in a sweeping technology initiative on which Washington plans to spend up to $50 billion. Plans for moving ahead with the program, known as Alliant, are now on hold, according to the General Services Administration. In the lawsuit against the government, one of the service providers, Serco, claims the federal selection process for the program was "arbitrary and capricious," and did not properly account for vendors' past performance, references, and technical capabilities — as required by law.

Based on this article from the AP, it seems they've made some headway in capturing the senior citizen market. With the Wii's price point, and it being a good way to get people engaged in physical exercise, it's easy to envision it catching on with other retirement homes beyond the one mentioned in the article. Now that it's expanding beyond the 'typical' video game demographic, has the Wii taken the first steps toward winning the console war?"
