Books that go bump in the night
Now this will really creep any friends or family that you have staying over. Just place these old looking and valuable collection of books on a shelf or bookshelf and sit back and wait for the screams.

As you can see from the image, the center book is moveable and will do so every time the sensor that is placed in one of the books on the end. When the sensor beam is broken the center books moves out, as if someone or something has made it moved, creepy Halloween stuff.
Priced at around $25, not bad for a good laugh every now and then.

The funny flame lamp
Not quite sure if this is a funny face or a funny flame, well whatever it’s a funny lamp, that will brighten up the life of any desk or office.

The face and spiky parts are actually part of the 25 watt light bulb that come in Blue, Yellow and White, which means an expensive replacement no doubt.
The size is 5.5 inches W x 5.25 inches H.
The lamp is priced at $9.99, regular price $12.99.

Woz and Jobs have made it
There are many indicators that signal success, the millions of dollars is one and when a toy company makes a model of you, then you really know that you have made it.

This set is supposed to depict Woz and Jobs working away without a worry in the world, and perhaps just a little idea of what that were about to achieve.
The models are made by Tomi and are limited to only 300 which are numbered, so you had better get in there fast before Steve Jobs buys them all up!
Priced at $39.99.

The single house apartment
If you are looking for somewhere to live and do not have much space, then the single house design from Front Architects could be the one for you.

Living in small spaces is most definitely a European idea, after all there are not many places to build new homes, and land is pretty expensive too.

But with this single house concept, the idea is only limited by your own imagination, and of course you could always put a few of them together!
No idea on price etc, sorry!

Samsung UMPC with WiMAX




Like this new UMPC? Maybe not. But WiMAX (officially termed IEEE 802.16e) is a technology we won’t see in the US for another 3 to 5 years. Why? Because all the telephone networks companies are still making lots of money selling old technology. (Well, that’s the way it’s always here…)
Why am I fretting about this? Because companies like Samsung have been making this WiMAX gizmos for like last couple years and I don’t get to use one unless I goto Korea. I mean, iPhone are tight in the way the user interface is cool and all but let’s face it. If you do a cellphone test on ANY AT&T cellphone, you are going to be getting inconsistent 110K/bytes download while my Sprint Blackberry(piece of crap) get 400 to 500K/bytes consistently. (Don’t believe me? Try this site on your cellphone. Remember to refresh your browser to get correct results)
Well, that’s not the point, WiMAX is around 4M/bytes download, which is way faster than home DSL and almost as fast as cable. Now picture putting that in your little iPhone or a UMPC, you got a REAL mobile station you can work with at “real-time” speeds…
Okay, enough complaining, I think it’s a big scheme by mobile companies to make money anyways… (Hey, even if I worked for AT&T, I’d want to sell an over-priced, over-marketed iPhones for $500, not WiMAX enabled iPhones. That’d be coming in 2 years, when we made gazillions with the cheap stuff…)
I am just really tired of hearing my Korean buddies telling me how you CAN’T watch TV here in America, or why is the iPhone so slow… So if you think there’s a better reason, let me know. I will listen…
Samsung Electronics unveiled its compact UMPC ‘Deluxe MITs(model: SPH-P9200)’ at the Samsung 4G Forum 2007 in Korea market. As a successor model of SPH-P9000, it can connect to wireless internet and VoIP phone via Mobile WiMax. Running on Windows XP, the SPH-P9200 adopts 5-inch touch screen, folding QWERTY keyboard and 30GB HDD.
