One of the best spam emails I’ve received in a long time:

Hello my friend!

I am ready to kill myself and eat my dog, if medicine prices here (** Link Removed - Why help them? **) are bad.

Look, the site and call me 1-800 if its wrong..

My dog and I are still alive

I wonder how they’ll eat the dog after killing themselves?

In case you’re interested in writing web-sites for the internet browser ona Nintendo Wii, Opera has published a page on Making Wii-friendly pages

These pages include specs and other info you should be aware of if Wii users are part of your target audience:

Instead of reformatting the page to attempt to make it fit on the screen, Opera on Wii lays the page out as if it was using a virtual screen 800 pixels wide.

The Wii has a processor with performance that is less than half that of most desktop machines, and with about one tenth of the available RAM. As a result, it can have trouble with Web pages that attempt to display hundreds of images, or large Flash movies. In particular, streaming video players written for Flash can have problems with buffering, as they quickly use up the available memory.

The page also contains some sample code which can be helpful for determining whether the TV being used to view the screen is widescreen or not, and the state of the browser’s toolbar. You’ll also be able to find a list of supported HTML elements, and info on CSS considerations you’ll need to keep in mind.
