People everywhere are reporting about their cracked TV due to their Wiimote slipping out of their slippery hands. So how can you prevent that from happening to your new HDTV? Why, by standing far away from the TV of course. But, how far can you go?

Two dudes by the name of Mike and Luke decided to do a little test on the Wiimote’s maximum range, and it turned out to be up to 400 feet (~122 meters). How crazy! Bowling on Wii Sports: Bowling was supposedly still pretty accurate even from across the street.

Alternatively, get one of these JOYTECH Wii Silicon Gloves if your TV is not mega-huge and you can’t see a damn thing from 400 feet away.

For the next four weeks, Amazon in running a campaign called Amazon Customers Vote. Each week, we are invited to vote for the item that will be on sale the next Thursday at a discount price. Sort of like Woot but with a twist.

We are a bit late here though, as the voting for Week 1’s product has already been closed. It will be a Xbox 360 at just US$100! It’s a steal.

The Xbox 360 will begin selling on Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) 11 a.m. Pacific Time sharp. Only 1,000 units will be available, so if you want one really bad, be punctual, and be nimble with your clicking.

As for Week 2, we will get to vote on Wednesday from following:

• Diamond Stud Earrings (1 cttw): $1,099.00 $350 (190 units)
• Axion Portable DVD Player: $109.99 $25 (1,000 units)
• Black & Decker 12-Volt Drill: $49.99 $10 (2,500 units)
• Amazon Prime & $100 in Toys: $179.00 $40 (2,000 units)

Just in time for the holidays, Japan’s Thanko is selling a SNOW-GLOBE MOUSE that changes colors. If that concept isn’t tacky enough for you, then you should know they’ve added a weird “happy face” to the top where the buttons and scroll wheel are. This just may be the most unsightly PC peripheral ever devised.
