A Mini Entertaining Multi-functional Console

After two years of hard work, designer David Gawthorpe from Lower Hopton, West Yorkshire has designed a mini entertaining multi-functional console.

This multi-function console that too out of the front end of a Mini enable you to croon to your favorite tunes, watch film and play Xbox and PS3, this sure will make you experience that adrenaline rush. This console has “Butt Kicker”, a vibration pad in it that will make you jump with every shot in gaming. If you want to have it, the price is about £8,000. I don't know if the designer will sell it though.

One Gigabit per Second, Home Internet Speed in South Korea by The End of 2012

By the end of 2012, South Korea intends to connect every home in the country to the Internet at one gigabit per second. That would be a tenfold increase from the already blazing national standard and more than 200 times as fast as the average household setup in the United States.

A pilot gigabit project initiated by the government is under way, with 5,000 households in five South Korean cities wired. Each customer pays about 30,000 won a month, or less than $27.

Hong Kong and Japan offer gigabit service. Australia has a plan in the works for 2018. Google is drafting pilot programs for part of the Stanford campus and other locales in the United States. And Chattanooga, Tenn., has started a citywide gigabit service, reportedly at a staggering $350 a month.
