PC now calls DS its master

We previously uncovered
a nifty little homebrew program called
PointyRemote that allowed the user to wirelessly view and control a PC desktop from the distant comfort of their Nintendo DS. Though we don't recall anyone balking at the concept at the time, we now present this
Flickr image of the DS lording over the common beige box and barking out instructions in a Wi-Fi dialect. The DS never ceases to amaze us with its versatility (just like the
nail clipper).
[Thanks Joey!]

This is actually pretty cool if you use your pc as your radio too. If only it was easier to do all these hacks. I love some of the things people have done with their DSs but none of it's impressive enough for me to want to get a passme or wifime. To get it to jack directly into the brain, then I might pick up the extras. The games are still enough to keep my interest in the DS.
Please, find some good hacks for the PSP. That thing only has two good games going for it.
