Nintendo DS can control your PC remotely

This is not for the feint of heart, so I'd call it more like a proof of concept at this point. But nevertheless, someone has figured out how to remotely control a PC from a Nintendo DS portable game device.

The neat thing is that the dual screen is really a great bonus that's perfect for this sort of application. You get the "big picture" on one screen, and a closeup on the other screen for whatever you are currently working on. Very neat.

If you really want the dirty details of how to do it, take a look here.

It does work OK, in fact it works great. I just thought that the high CPU usage (about 40% of my 3GHz P4) was dis-proportionate to the amount of work the app does (I could be wrong there though, I'm no programmer!)

LOL
