Wii Remote Uses Bluetooth – Simple Hack Controls Your Mouse

I accidentally discovered that the Wiimote uses Bluetooth for its wireless capabilities. Way cool! Using some instructions I discovered online, it was possible to control my mouse cursor by tilting the remote in various directions.

With the Wiimote using standards-based communications mechanisms, there are so many awesome possibilities suddenly open. Can you imagine MythTV using the Wiimote for on-screen manipulation?
