Danger Bomb Clock


This is the kind of device you cannot bring wherever you want especially when you travel. It may make the interview with the border service agency or airport security officer a bit longer. This is actually a clock that wake you up every morning with Explosion Sound! To stop the bomb, you have to pull out just one code from three. The safety code is set randomly every morning. It gives you a warning before exploding... Just 3 minutes to stop it before the explosion. To avoid the explosion, you will have to pull off the correct cord among 3 different. The Color lamp indicates the correct cord.... If you pull off the wrong cord, or don't pull off the cord in time, you cannot stop the Explosion. Available at GeekStuff4U for 4,250 yen (around US$ 51).

Renting Movie with a USB Stick


Flix-on-Stix is a renting machine (like vending machine) to rent your beloved movie on USB.  The concept is simple, yet peppered with problems.  Lets cover the concept first…the idea is having a user insert their USB drive into the Flix on Stix kiosk and download a movie.  Great idea…simple, convenient and assuming cheap.

Look just one step deeper and you start asking yourself about transfer times.  The Flix-on-Stix is USB 3.0 enabled, but SuperSpeed flash drives have just ‘barely’ come to market, most will have USB 2.0.  So to download a low quality video will take at least 10 minutes.  Next, what kind of DRM does Flix on Stix use?  We know our USB and their is no universal USB copy protection that will work on PCs, Macs and set-top boxes...
