Samsung SPD-50P7HDT Wireless Plasma HDTV: Wireless? Not Really

Samsung announced the SPD-50P7HDT, a 50-inch plasma TV that the company calls “wireless.” One thing we know for sure: this TV can’t be completely wireless, but it does send its high-definition video signals to the monitor from its little black box seen on the shelf below the screen.

Hong Kong Breast Cancer Awareness Mousepad

An breast cancer organization in Hong Kong is placing these mousepads in internet cafes all over the city to remind people to examine themselves regularly. Great idea, but a little risque for the US.
