>I don't really understand why this is such a big deal. A quick search shows a multitude of tutorials on how to use a nunchuk on the PC with an Arduino. Following a tutorial isn't "hacking," and besides, the article makes it seem like the kid figured out how to do it himself, which I kind of doubt.
I think it's really cool that this kid is interested in technology and that he is participating in this program, I just hate Wired sensationalist journalism.
This sums it up perfectly.
