Matchbox Car Doubles As A Spy Cam


If you have a thing for spy gadgets and toy cars, well then you’re in luck. Brando has released a toy car that happens to have a camcorder built directly into it. I couldn’t really guess as to what you’d really need it for, but perhaps you have someone you’re just dying to catch in the act. Then again, you might just want to be able to brag to your buddies that you own a spy camera.

The tiny car comes with a vehicle power adapter, a USB adapter and a very strange looking tripod. I can’t say that I’d recommend using the tripod if you want to keep the car from being inspected too closely though. It also has motion detection and controls built into the wheels themselves. The pinhole lens is on the front of the car and the microSD slot is built into the trunk. It offers 29 FPS at 1280 by 960 pixel resolution.

Getting A Solid Internet Connection

The Internet is almost like a basic necessity for me. Some might just agree with me on this. You get so many advantages from using the internet (if used properly). One example is, you don’t have to buy cd’s or dvd’s of movies you would like to watch because you can stream movies on the internet for free. Another thing is you can download files like mp3’s for your music player or eBooks for school. You can even communicate with people far away through the internet. These are only examples of the many benefits you can get from the internet. That’s why having a solid internet connection is very important for me so that I can get all these things without thinking of any delays or temporary disconnections.

Luckily, I found an internet provider that can solve these issues. With WildBlue, a satellite internet service provider, you don’t have to worry about these predicaments. Wild Blue offers you high speed internet access over satellite to virtually everywhere in the U.S. Yes, just because you live out in the country doesn't mean you can’t experience high speed, undisrupted internet connections. It’s all possible with WildBlue. You can visit their site and learn more about it. They have affordable offers with low monthly service fees.

Coffee Table Changes Color

Most coffee tables out there don’t have a single electronic function, they just hold things. Well this Light Beam Coffee Table is packed full of LED lights to give you an interesting light show.

There are no videos of the table in action, but it does change colors. They also don’t mention if you choose how quickly it changes or if it just slowly cycles through them all on its own. The table is made of reclaimed teak and was actually inspired by railway sleepers.

iPad Reaches Over 300,000 in US

We knew that the Apple iPad was going to be a hit, and the final sales figures proved it – Apple announced that the fruity company moved over 300,000 iPads in the US alone as of midnight last Saturday. Among these include deliveries of pre-ordered iPads to customers, deliveries to channel partners and sales at Apple Retail Stores. Apart from that, Apple also announced that over one million apps were downloaded by iPad users from Apple’s App Store, and there were plenty of voracious readers among them as well – we’re talking about over 250,000 ebooks being purchased from its iBookstore during the first day. Were you one of the lucky ones to pick up an iPad during launch day, or do you think this is just a bunch of hyperbole?
