Tracy and Matt have published on their blog really interesting Nokia N900 unboxing video. All that they have received is the large black plastic monolith with minu USB connector. Puzzle for real geeks. Inside there is a brand new Nokia N900 with Linux Maemo OS and accessories. Although excelent OS comming from Nokia, in next year rumors are that there is only one additional Maemo device that we can expect. Soon more on N900.
Flight Control is probably the single most successful iPhone game, and has been downloaded 1.5 million times. Best of all — at least for Firemint, the company behind the title — this is the number of paid downloads (the game costs 99 cents).
The game was released back in the March of this year and has hit 1 million sales mark in the second half of June. It’s the beginning of September and that number climbed to 1.5 million, which is super impressive.
Firemint’s CEO Robert Murray is delighted (who wouldn’t be) that they’ve reached the milestone, adding: “I’m just so incredibly grateful to all the many people around the world who have embraced Flight Control and helped us to reach this amazing milestone. There’s still a lot more Flight Control to come!”
We’ll see how that goes, but considering their experience, we’ve no doubts they know what they’re doing.
For the record, Flight Control gained multi-player capability in July, a feature that certainly helped add more customers on board.

Korean designer Rhea Jeong has sent in images of her ‘Void’ LP player concept. The record player uses a carrier and dock outfitted with a magnetic and auto-calibrating control system which carries the LP into thin air as it is playing music. a self-running record player shaped in the form of a red sphere, contains a needle, amplifier and speaker, spins around the record, bringing the music to life. the sphere that plays the vinyl was technically influenced by the Vinyl Killer, currently the world’s smallest LP player that has a built-in motor, amplifier and speaker.
Simple colors and shapes express a kind of astronomical movement between the object and space. the levitation is managed electronically. once turning the player on, you can manage the elevation levels through the touch sensors on the front side of the base unit.

This is by far the most devious way to annoy the hell out of your coworkers. This small device, when armed and hidden, generates very short and VERY annoying beep every couple of minutes. With its thin design and embedded magnet for easy hiding, the Annoy-a-tron can be placed in a variety of locations. Select one of the three sound choices (2 kHz, 12 kHz, or alternating) and push the switch to the on position. Place it in a proper hiding spot and let the “fun” begin.
Your unsuspecting target will have a hard time ‘timing’ the location of the sound because the beeps will vary in intervals ranging from 2 to 8 minutes. The 2kHz sound is generically annoying enough, but if you really really want to aggravate somebody, select the 12 kHz sound. Usage consists of three simple steps:
Becouse of the very short sound, your collegues will have trouble to find it, even better if you hide couple of them. It will run for 3 to 4 weeks on a single battery (going on holiday?).

It seems that the Kanagawa Police Departement uses latest state of the art technology to fight crime. To try to catch a man who has stolen a car, they created a Mii – a Wii mugshot which suits the man’s description. It’s unknown whether they had any success with it, but at least it’s a good demonstration how multifunctional the Wii can be – in ways you’ve never expected it to be!
