Ah the power of Google, I ran across this little article laughing a local news station purporting to expose the HIDDEN DANGER of the Nintendo DS to our children. It seems a local Fox News affiliate in Milwaukee, WI is showing parents the molester's backdoor of the Nintendo DS aka - "Pictochat." The report claims that people can communicate, via Pictochat, with another DS over "long distances." It goes on to warn that due to the lack of advertising for this feature, parents should be worried about molesters contacting their children over the DS.
OK before you start laughing (that commences soon, don't worry) the reporters "proves" this dastardly act is possible by using the Pictochat feature with two children. They're upstairs in their room, he sits downstairs (no word on if he typed them any naughty messages). Nintendo's documented range for wireless communication is 65 feet (even to talk to the neighbor for a lot of people), but at the mall, the reporter is (gasp!) able to successfully send a 5 times as far! (300 feet).
So lock up your kids' DSes folks! Some roving child molester with a handheld game machine might just catch you child doodling on Pictochat! while, uh...living next door....
Look people...that just ludicrous...I own a DS, I've never once even thought of using the Pictochat function...kids don't use it EITHER...they play GAMES! and they play games with their friends on the dang thing...its not a cell-phone were you can easily text message, they can't Pictochat with Jimmy down the street after he goes home...why bother? Call Jimmy...chat with Jimmy online, blah blah blah....
You want to know how a molester would use a DS...not to Chat...idiots...the sick fucks would probably try and use a DS to lure a kid into trusting them....
