images/news/internet.jpgWe have no idea what's going on here, and you know what? Maybe it's better that way. Creative -- a company always on the edge -- has clearly gone off the deep end. A new teaser on its site promises that "Everything you know is about to change..." and forwards on to the dubious Zii.com -- with a logo that couldn't be more obvious about its Wii inspiration. Four leaf clovers shimmer and shake, and a trademarked term chills us to our very core: Stemcell Computing. Yeah, how about no. If this is at all interesting to you, we recommend registering for updates soon, before this company manages to implode the Earth with its mad, mad science.

No, anyone have any guesses as to what this is?

Any possible way this is somehow furthering research in stem cell like what Folding currently does for cancer research?

I was wondering about this, maybe using a Wii?

Bringing f@h to the Wii would be awesome. But at the risk of sounding shallow can't they figure out how to make drivers before venturing into this new territory?

That'd be my one and only guess really...guess we shall see soon.

It's nothing worthwhile I'm sure. Just marketing.

Doesn't look like anything I would want to get involved with in any case . So I'll just avoid it.

Brew, long time since you last imparted any wisdom. You still in school or did you finally gadgiate?

While our vivid imaginations certainly had something more invigorating than this in mind, we suppose Creative could still surprise us at CES 2009. The curious Zii website we peeked a few days back is reportedly referring to an all new processing chip, and while eipZENter isn't being too forthcoming with details just yet, we are told that it will likely be "one of the biggest projects Creative has invested in." If that's just too vague for your tastes, try this: "[Zii] is completely different from the X-Fi audio chip and it will be used in a variety of upcoming products." Alrighty then.
