14 DAY TRIAL // F-Secure is an anti-virus and computer security software company based in Helsinki, Finland. The company has large branch offices in the USA and Japan, where some of the antivirus analysis and software development work is also being carried on. Things went smooth for folks in that company for quite some time, until...disaster struck. In came the Wii from Nintendo and every analyst was infected. Ironical for a company working on antiviruses, wouldn't you say?
Although it's a more of a joke, it really did happen as Sean posts this on the official site: "Lab members were infected that day and two more soon followed. Kamil's Wii was immediately tested in the lab, and frankly, productivity just might have taken a hit. Wii is very infectious. Good thing it was a Friday." Does it even surprise you? What stupid animal wouldn't dig the Wii even just a little?
The Wii is fun no doubt about it and surely a little addictive too, but it's not stopping folks at F-Secure to work on ...whatever it is they do out there (I'm not that cultivated when it comes to computers and antiviruses), so don't worry if you're using one of their protection softwares, they still dedicate some 5 minutes a day on updates and stuff like that. Kidding, but really now, everyone needs a time off and especially analysts who carry out a tremendous amount of brain work.
Not only do folks over at F-Secure dig the Wii, but they've become Wii Sports experts, especially Tennis: "...we might as well make the best of it! If you're a game developer and want some beta testers - contact us via the Weblog's e-mail address. Tennis. We want more Tennis especially. And we're quite willing to assist accessory makers as well. Cheers!" Beat that Sony and Microsoft!
Check out the video below. It's guys at F-Secure playing Wii Tennis. It's probably not their best time with the Wii yet, 'cause they don't look that excited to me.
