Soon your Wii may help you narrow down the list of suspects.
Australia's Herald-Sun reports that the Wii Vitality Sensor announced by Nintendo last week at E3 measures some of the same body responses as the polygraph. In particular, the sensor attaches to a user's finger to measure pulse and skin conductance. The newspaper reports:
Skin conductance response is a measurement of fluctuations in the electrical conductivity of skin -- also known as electrodermal response and galvanic skin response.
These fluctuations in conductivity correlate with changes in emotions, such as experiencing fear, anger and desire. That's why polygraphs - generally called lie detectors - measure skin conductivity changes along with other bodily responses including pulse and blood pressure.
Nintendo hinted at potential Wii lie detecting fun at E3, the Herald-Sun notes:
Games using the Wii Vitality Sensor have not been announced yet, but Nintendo said the Vitality Sensor would "provide information to the users about the body's inner world"...
You can imagine games along "truth or dare" lines being developed for fun at home on a Nintendo Wii fitted with a Wii Vitality Sensor. The Wii could use the sensor to assess whether or not the player was telling the truth.

o.o Remind me to make my Wii go up in flames when I get home. Not giving anyone (or any console) the chance to read my mind. Stupid Wii Fit already chides me for not using it enough. Soon enough the Wii is going to be running my life.
Wii: "Did you eat another cupcake?"
Me: "... No"
Wii: "I know you're lying to me."
Me: "AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!"

The Wii is still a video game console, right? I mean, there going to keep the primary focus of the console on games and not just to push it to the side... right?

Nope, sorry. Now that Nintendo knows people will buy any useless peripheral they come up with, they stopped caring about games.

Wow, so the Wii can be converted into an arbitrary device whose results can be easily deceived?

I really think I could live my whole life without this thing in it. You just know people are going to strap this in unmentionable places and produce all kinds of better if not seen Utube video.
