Socket Lock – Stop Lekky Thiefs
September 26, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The Socket Lock idea is to have a system built where your power outlets on the wall are secured to stop potential electricity thieves. This type of socket would be ideal for public buildings to prevent people nicking the power and running up the electric bill of the building. The idea comes from Daily Invention and could work by the socket having internal barrels like a regular lock in which only specific plugs could be connected. Another idea is to have corresponding power leads for laptops which only work with the correct lead. Having the wrong power cord would mean a new battery needs to be purchased by the thief.

Fujitsu Lifebook
September 13, 2007 by 1 Comment
Fujitsu are releasing the Fujitsu Lifebook which has been announced as the worlds smallest laptop. It measures just 171x113x26.5 – 32mm and weighs just 280 grams. Not bad at all. Inside there is an 800Mz processor which is an Intel A110. Intel powers the onboard graphics chip. Also Wi-Fi, Ethernet and finger print sensors can be found. The screen is a tiny 5.6 inches which is touch screen and can be rotated. I guess that makes it in to a tablet PC. The resolution of the screen is 1024 x 600 which is quite a decent amount of pixels.
The battery can keep the device powered for 4 hours on XP or slightly less for those running Vista. It does look like a seriously nice piece of kit and very handy for those traveling who need full Windows access rather then a PDA or just email.

USB Engine Hub
July 10, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The USB Engine Hub is a regular USB hub, but acts a little like an engine when connected to your PC or laptop. The top of the engine shakes and engine noises can be heard. There is a start lever and also a gear change lever which makes it create different noises. Apart from that, it is just a regular USB hub. Its a shame it wasnt created as a small engine to power the laptop. That would be cool… ish 😉
