You can't download songs from the net just yet, but soon! The developer just announced they're working on this and it should be done sometime next year. No word on exactly when, but that's par for the course:

What are Wii friend codes and how do I use them?

And how do I use sites like Mapwii to my advantage? I'm so used to just playing the games I haven't really explored the networking stuff much, but I want to, I really want to!

Right on! That's what I'm talking about. I can probably make do with just those two if there's no sidespin. I'm excited to try these out!

Can you put spin on the tennis ball in Wii Sports?

One of my favorite parts of real-world tennis is spin: sidespin (for tweakage), bottomspin (for slowing it down), and topspin (for speeding it up). Is there any way to use spin in the Wii Sports tennis game?

What different pitches can I throw in Wii Sports and how do I trigger them?

Just started playing and I'm not at all clear on what pitches are available, and what I have to do to make use of them. For instance, can I do a curve ball? And how do I throw the ball inside or outside (left or right)?

I'm a big fan of Audio Hijack Pro: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijac... You can record from ANY source on your Mac, including streaming audio programs. Not only does it have EQ, but it will break up audio into separate tracks based on pauses. It also has one-click recording of Skype, iChat a few other apps. Seriously, this will open up new doors to perception!

Other than Wii Sports, what can I do with the Mii?

Obviously Wii Sports uses Miis as the character, but I don't know of any other games that use them. I hear other people talking about their Miis, and while it's fun to make them and all, is there a point?
