If you've been keeping up with internet memes, chances are you've seen a Caramelldansen video or animated GIF at one time or another. I'm not sure if the meme itself's still alive but a DS homebrew dev has made an app that lets you make your own Caramelldansen vids using your DS.

Nintendo has addressed the problem people are having with their DS Lite's hinge. It seems to be breaking at a certain point for many people and people are worried. Nintendo says they aren't really aware of the problem, but that if anybody has an issue that was due to a manufacturing error, they should contact them immediately.

The company's customer service is excellent so it shouldn't be much of a problem. I've had to get my GameCube fixed twice because of disc read errors and they were easy to deal with on both occasions.

Here's an excerpt of Nintendo's press release regarding this "hinge problem":

"We are not aware of any problems with the hinge of the DS Lite, however if someone experiences a problem with their DS Lite they should contact their local customer services department. The DS Lite carries a one year warranty for manufacturing defects, if the fault is covered under the warranty it will be repaired free of charge if not then customer services will provide a cost for repairing the product.

For warranty repair information, all technical enquires including servicing products, guarantee information, troubleshooting, part orders and release dates in the UK, please contact our Customer Service department (Monday - Friday 8:30am-7pm)."
