REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– A U.S. District Court judge has summarily dismissed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Nintendo brought by Guardian Media Technologies, Ltd. Guardian had alleged that the Wii™ console infringed on one of its patents (U.S. Patent No. 4,930,158). Judge Manuel Real of the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles entered an order granting Nintendo’s motion for summary judgment of non-infringement on June 8, 2009, less than six months after the lawsuit was filed.
“We are very pleased with the Court’s decision,” said Rick Flamm, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of Legal and general counsel. “Nintendo vigorously defends patent lawsuits. At the earliest stages of this case, Nintendo convinced the Court to dismiss this case as Guardian’s patent had nothing to do with Nintendo’s products.”

We had a solid number of months before experiencing any sort of site issues, but as you can see….Well, we were dead. According to our genius tech guy, Alex, the server ran out of room. So, obviously no more hard drive space translates into…Death!

Everything is good to go from this point on. The site has received an upgrade, and there should be no more errors (including 504s which began to pop up last night) anymore on Nintendo Everything.

In any case, enjoy your stay and I deeply apologize for the downtime!

Opera: We have a good relationship with Nintendo

Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 5 Comments

“We have good relationship with Nintendo. The recent addition – the DSi browser – has been provided for free on the device and that’s a movement in the right direction. We are very happy about the fact that Opera on Wii is the most used device to browse on televisions – that is the biggest volume of users. We feel the browser is a very good user experience and working with Nintendo was very good. They challenged us and we challenged them and it is clear that they are very focused on making easy to use applications for their products.” – Opera’s von Tetzchner

I haven’t used the Wii Internet Browser much, but I have found that the DSi Browser is nice when I don’t want to lug my laptop into bed. Have you guys used either the Wii or DS Internet browsers much?
