Boring with your scanner? Change your scanner, there’s a scanner in disguise, looks like a book, old book, it will be match for you that fan to Harry Potter and the interior of your room is classic.

Whose that has the creative idea? Datamancer took a flatbed scanner and put it in a book that they hollowed out. It does not change the function though, but change the opini about scanner in form.

Nice disguise..

By passing room air through a humidifying filter containing electrolyzed water, the Large-capacity Humidifier RH-VWX12C eliminates airborne bacteria, while also suppressing airborne viruses. Since electrolyzed water is also used in the humidifying tray, it controls slime and unwanted odors through bacteria elimination.

Since RH-VWX12C is a high-capacity humidifier it can humidify large spaces up to 54 m2 at a rate of 1,200 ml / hour, it is quick and powerful enough for busy locations such as offices, hospital waiting rooms, and daycare centers. The Sanyo RH-VWX12C is equipped with an automatic louver that keeps dust out and adjusts the direction of air outflow. Since the louver can be set to swing back and forth, it can efficiently humidify even large spaces.

Belkin Switch-to-Mac Cable: Connect Your Mac Seamlessly

bermandt — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 10:29:35 +0000

I remember the first time I used Apple’s product. It was Powerbook G4 Titanium about 3 years ago.At that time, I work both on my PC and Mac. I was very confused how to connect between two operating systems. My friend suggested me to use a software (I forget what it was).It didn’t work. I was only connect from PC to Mac.What I want, I worked at Mac and save it to HD’s PC.After I switched to Mac OS X, and connect between PC and Mac through LAN (Windows server).

There was no problem anymore.But I wonder if I wasn’t connect through LAN. Probably it was hard to connect between PC and MAC for example from Windows’ Notebook to a new MacBook.
Now there is a good news, recently on 12 Nov,Belkin launched its Switch-to-Mac Cable (F4U001).It provides a simple way to transfer files, settings, preferences, and more from your PC to a new Mac Computer. The cable equipped with easy-to-use Migration Assistant software.The cable is available now in the US for $49.99. And will be spread to Canada,Europe,Asia and Australia by Feb 2009.

Update : Now you can own Belkin Switch-to-Mac Cable on sale for $39.44 $23.24
