Big international visits happened in the Atomic Offices on Friday, and so we were a little late with the newsletter. Sorry!

To make it up to you, this newsletter is all about sweet, joyous, delicious hacking. Alex Bradner has interviewed one of the guys who hacked the Wii and done a write-up on how he did it.

There's also a feature on Google's Android (read: Linux for mobile devices) which has been hacked to run on standard hardware. First Atomican to get Android running on a digital set-top box with hard drive recording gets a feature and an interview on the website. Plus I’ll buy you a beer!

Oh, and if you’ve ever made a project greater than 90MB that references over 700GB of data, email me. I have no space left on my workstation, can't delete anything, and want to share the pain with other Atomicans who are in the same boat.

-DAVE.
