Egoman’s latest PMP, the MP810RSTD-43 bears an impressive, 4.3-inch touchscreen, which supports 16.7 million colours, and that just about sets it apart from the other iPod touch clones sitting it out in PMP purgatory. The device will playback WVI and RMVB at 30 fps, is just 7.2mm thick and will happily playback MP3, WMA, ADPCM, WAV, APC and FLAC files. With a USB 2.0 port, integrated FM tuner and an onboard TV out port, Egoman haven’t done too bad a job here at all. Still, with the product page stating “[all]specifications are subject to change without notice,” perhaps we should take the player’s planned existence with a touch of salt. [PMP Today]
We’ve seen awesome Tesla coil art many times before, and the latest addition to the catalog is no exception. With Christmas decorations, a vehicle anti-theft device and allied soldiers all getting the Tesla treatment, it was only a matter of time before the humble laptop entered into the realms of electrical greatness. These images are titled Hi Volt Antivirus and there are three different effects on display. Our particular favourite is the High Intensity Professional version, which is pictured above. Check out the Original and Lite effects, as well as the inactive electrode surface in the gallery below. Jump in to learn what got the magic going.
The film will feature special guests Dan Castellaneta, David Cross, Stephen Hawking and Brittany Murphy, and according to DVDActive:
In Futurama’s latest and most tentacle-packed epic, space itself rips open, revealing a gateway to another universe. But what lies beyond? Horror? Love? Or maybe both, if it happens to contain a repulsive, planet-sized monster with romantic intentions! Nothing less than the fate of human and robot-kind is at stake as the Futurama crew takes on The Beast With A Billion Backs.
Now all we need is an official Futurama Lego set, and we’d be in heaven (or maybe robot hell).

The concept is simple – they use their crystals to refract and reflect the light from LEDs onto your loungeroom ceiling, walls or floor (or all three). And although that sounds like it could look worse than, say, a Swarovski toilet, it’s done in an understated way that looks unique and appealing.
The pic above is part of their Spots range, dubbed the Fana, but there are countless options available, including drop down crystals for the disco effect and lights that are flush with the ceiling.
Some of the range is available in Australia, but you’ll need to contact Swarovski directly for a more detailed breakdown of exactly what, where and how much they are.
Okay, it’s more like a Brunch Wrap, but it is Monday, the gremlins were in the CMS and I was underwhelmed by the Red Bull Flugtag yesterday. Now, on with the wrap…
Phone Retailer Talks About Giving Away Free Laptops With Mobile Internet ServiceFrom Carphone Warehouse in the UK. Hopefully they’ll be decent laptops – as cool as the Eee PC is, I don’t actually want one.

There are roadwarriors with their ultraportables and then there’s master modder Dennis Ilyin, who took computing on the go literally with this ambitious motorcycle casemod. While the two-wheeled computing wonder lacks an engine, it more than makes up for it with massive LED-lit water tanks and what’s sure to be ample processing power. The compu-bike was part of an NVIDIA-sponsored modding contest and actually came in second to this green thing. Fair? Unfair? Take a look at additional pics after the jump and you tell us.
Seekway has put together this spectacular 3D LED display, which is capable of displaying images in full 3D (duh) at an amazing, 30 fps. The prototype consists of a 16 x 16 x 16 grid of interconnected colour LEDs and if our mathematics doesn’t fail us, that’s 4096 individual diodes. We’re sure you’ll agree; it looks amazing, but the video is even more fantastic, so jump in.
Ever looked around your office and thought “surely there’s a better way than this soulless cubicle hell?” Well, there probably isn’t. Unless you happen to work for Google in their Swiss HQ, that is. Because, frankly, their new office is awe-inspiringly amazing: it’s an exercise in lateral-thinking, creativity-run-wild interior design. Slides to the canteen, cable-car meeting rooms, beanbags, fake snow, a multitude of colours. Check it out… you’ll be as filled with envy as an envious person with a degree in enviousness.
It’s Sunday, and it just wouldn’t be right if a group of destructive loons were not prepared to put their faulty, plausibly repairable Xbox 360 into a microwave. Naturally, the mob breathed in the ensuing toxic fumes happily, all in the name of science comedy and cheap thrills. That kind of devotion we must salute, but for the tortured Xbox 360, our heart melts, much like its innards did. Oh, the humanity. Check out the video then hit the link for a slew of shots of the despicable carnage. [Microwave Science]
Your friends still aren’t worth the cost of admission to your place for a game with Nintendo’s Wii Wheel, but they’re getting closer now that a Nintendo Power contest rules page lists the peripheral at US$9.99. [GoNintendo]
