3D Flat Mouse stows away in your laptop card slot
When travelling you might get frustrated with having to use a touch pad on your laptop for long periods of time. Carrying a mouse around can also be a bit of a pain too making sure you have all the parts needed to make it work such as the receiver, batteries and the mouse its self. The 3D flat mouse is very flat at just 5 mm thick. It is small enough to stow away in your card slot on your laptop. The 3D Flat mouse is an optical mouse as there is no room to fit a ball in the bottom of it. The scroll wheel is touch sensitive allowing you to scroll up and down the screen by sliding your finger.
iPhone - Destroyed
June 30, 2007
I knew someone would destroy an iPhone
As soon as most new tech products are launched they are dismantled or destroyed with in hours or even minutes of them being released. Thinksecret decided to take apart their iPhone to reveal exactly what is inside. All 49 pictures of them taking it apart can be found here.
Next on the list is PCWorld who wanted to really test how strong the iPhone is and how resistant to scratching the screen and casing is. The video demonstrates them dropping it, scraping the nice glass screen with keys and then dropping it again on the concrete outside. I am surprised, but it held up well. Check out the video over at PCWorld.
Both of the above have been fairly sensible tests. The next is just plain stupid though. Check out the video after the jump showing how these 2 guys decided to take apart their iPhone.

LEDs change the colour of your House
If you ever want to illuminate your house then spotlights is one way. Another option is to use LEDs which can switch colours and change the look of your home at night. As well as being able to light up your house, they can also light up the landscape around the home. The LEDs are easy to connect up and are ready to go once positioned in the right place. More pictures after the jump.

Ski forever indoors
SnowVolution is a concept which tackles the problem of indoor skiing and the slope basically ending too quick. It is a snow covered rotating planar disc which is up to 300 meters is diameter and set on an incline. 5 - 6 discs are combined which rotate independently of each other up to speeds of 15 meters per second. With the discs rotating you effectively have an endless slope to ski on and with the position of the discs and way they rotate, it can cater for many people skiing giving plenty of space for all.
iPhone Hacks - What do you want to see

iPhone is coming today! What iPhone Hacks do you want to see?
After several months of waiting, the iPhone will be launching at 6pm tonight in the US. Wired put out the question today about iPhone hacks and what people want to see should they want more from their expensive iPhone. Suggestions such as Skype, MP3 ring tones, Instant Messaging, iPod and Internet without a phone plan and quite a few more have been mentioned. No doubt we will see an ongoing battle between the hackers and Apple like we do with the PSP and homebrew. Hopefully some decent apps can come out for the iPhone to make it in to an even more useful device. The collection of all programmers and Apple could make the good even better.
