It is summer and many of us are preparing for the holidays. The equipment from the last year is taken out, and we feverishly try to complement it. The following gadget could bring a lot of fun to your seaside vacation, and even more – it will give you an opportunity to show some interesting moments to your friends.
The gadget itself is a Diving Mask with incorporated 5 Megapixel camera. It has 16 MB internal memory, that can store about 30 pictures on highest resolution (2560×1920), or about 1 minute of video. If this is not enough you can use the Micro SD Card slot to expand the memory and take all the underwater shots or video you want. The camera can be connected to a computer or a smartphone by USB cable so you can send images to your colleagues right from the beach.
Well it wasn’t a joke. In Taiwan Dell announced they are selling a 19” for $15.. The “promotion” was live for eight hours. But guess what..it was a typo 
The price should have been $150. After 8 hours and 140 000 orders made by 26 000 customers that joke/typo “promotion” might cost them a lot..:)
Statistics says that’s 5.3 monitors ordered per customer, on average. Well I guess one couldn’t reject such a tempting offer, I would get a dozen myself..
The thing now comes down to calculations. The Taiwan government will hold Dell responsible if they don’t ship the ordered monitors. That will be in violation of Taiwan’s fair trade laws and the government definitely will seek legal recourse. I am sure accountants at Dell are now pretty busy calculating which option will cost them less.. shipping 140 000 at $15 or having to deal with the Taiwan authorities and a possible lawsuit.. That’s a BAD typo!

That’s an amazing result for a RC but the 46 year-old designer Nic Case thinks “This car has more..” He is aiming and the stunning 200 mph.
The creation process took 6 months and about $4000 for all the parts. (more…)
