If you were affected by this problem, here are your solutions:

•ISO file
•Detailed Instructions
•Download tool for creating a bootable Windows 7 flash drive and DVD

[Thanks Stephen!]

Just double click any .ISO image file (which are used to disseminate DVDs of operating systems on the internet, for example) and a utility will pop up, allowing you to burn a disc to your optical drive.

For more sophisticated ISO types that people who regularly Torrent stuff would be familiar with, you'll still have to use other apps like Nero; but for easy Windows 7/Linux OS image burning, this works just fine.

The Wii Backup Loader is a simple program that runs from the Wii Homebrew Channel and can load specially modified ISOs from the DVD drive. The hack is still considered a work in progress, and the public will need access to both the new ISO loader and new ISO converter/modifier before the trick can be duplicated. But consider the Wii hacked and keep your ear to the ground for an official release. [Story and Video at tehskeen]

The streamer has NFS and Samba support (with only Samba working correctly over Gigabit Ethernet, which is a bummer), and can stream 4GB ISOs "without much delay." Fast forwarding through this didn't cause a problem either, thanks partially to that Gigabit connection no doubt. Music, however, suffers, since there's no ID3 tag reading and no cover art—it's the bare minimum you can get in a networked music player.

What's great about this player is that it's got online content support, meaning you can watch YouTube and Google video. In theory. None of these videos actually played when NAV tested the streamer. That's not so great.

But if you do have a BitTorrent fetish, you can use the Popcorn Hour to download torrents directly onto the machine. Unfortunately, this only lists XviD and not DivX as a supported format, so only a percentage of files you download off BitTorrent will play correctly.

Based on this, it seems that Popcorn Hour A-100 might be good for certain things, but lousy in others. If they can fix the bugs, this could be worth buying. [Networking Audio Video]

Most standard cameras have sensitivities of less than ISO 1600; an increase in the value allows better utilization of ambient light, foregoing the necessity for a flash in lower light conditions. The camera will also have a 2.5-inch LCD, 16MB internal memory and an SD/SDHC slot, with support for up to 4GB cards. Price and shipping dates are not available, but the camera will ship in red and black colors when it eventually does. [Macnn]

The F40fd slims down to a lithe .9 inches and ups the resolution from 6.3 to 8.3 megapixels. Like the F31fd, it includes Fujifilm's face-detection technology, which can recognize up to 10 mugs and adjust focus and light metering so they come out clearly in the picture. (At least it worked with cardboard cutouts of faces in a demo.) And it's one of Fujifilm's first new cameras that accept SD memory cards (in addition to the white elephant xD type that Fujifilm has so stubbornly stuck by).

Using its face-detection foo, the F40fd can automatically produce cropped previews and copies of photos to create portraits of each individual in a group shot. And if you print directly from the camera (sans PC) it will kick out as many copies of a picture as there are faces in it. The camera can play slideshows from the memory card, and it automatically rotates photos taken in portrait mode so nothing ends up going sideways across the screen. Fujifilm did drop the maximum ISO from 3200 to 2000. But since 3200 was useless on the F30 anyway, it's not much of a loss.The F40fd goes on sale in March for $300.
