If you think an Illuminated LED Pyramid Fountain to increase the humidity in a room is a bit over the top, you could try this Japanese can-shaped USB humidifier instead.
The mini is a state of the art air anion humidifier that combines new technology, modern design, with major health enhancement benefits. Our mini air humidifier is small and portable, and it is convenient enough to be used at home, office.
The Soda Can USB Humidifier is available from sourcingmap.com for $24.99.

I’ve got to hand it to the company who made the G4 Slim mouse. It can’t have been easy to make the world’s thinnest laptop mouse, or at least the world’s slimmest so far.
The G4 is a 5mm piece of plastic and metal that can fold up into a very flat slot. In fact, it is so flat that it can fit inside the PCMCIA slot of the laptop, which is one that I don’t use while the laptop is being transported.
This makes the G4 one of the most compact computer mice, and it comes with a retractable USB cable as well. This has a touch scroll pad in the middle of two left and right mouse buttons.
The G4 slim mouse is a plug and play feature that is compatible with both PC and Mac laptops. Not only that, this G4 Mouse is an optical mouse that is state of the art.
Oddly enough, this is not the first Slim Mouse that we have reported on. The first we did was about the size of a finger, and had a scroll wheel on the side.
The G4 Slim mouse comes with a leather pouch and mouse pad, and is available for about $69.99 on the Slim mouse site.

If you have a thing about sleeping in all that spooky darkness, you might need something to add a glow to your room. Sure, you can pretend it’s for a your kid or a niece or nephew, but we know the truth. This tubby little hippo sits on your bedside table, munching away on some cookies which of course only make him fatter. Although, that’s probably best since a skinny hippo would be the slightest bit creepy. Some things should never be scrawny and hippos are one of those things.
The hippo uses a 15 watt bulb, which is indication that he’s not going to be very bright. That makes him perfect for a bedtime lamp. It is attached to a 130cm cord, which is where the on/off switch is located. That type of switch can get obnoxious, because then you have to go searching along the cord for the switch every single time. The lamp is a bit more pricey than I had hoped. It’s being sold for £29.95 or about $54 on Kesterberry.

There's no nice way to say this, Fujitsu-Siemens: your
Amilo Mini's keyboard flexes like a trampoline. Sure, there's an Atom processor inside here, a great 9-inch screen and some other fine tech specs, but in general this netbook just feels like a shoddy piece of work, and we expect more from a top-tier manufacturer (you do desire to be a top-tier manufacturer, right?) Take those trackpad-flanking mouse buttons, for example: how are we supposed to work 'em? Have
you ever attempted to use this laptop? Let's hope
Dell's Inspiron 910 can lift this form factor up from the mire and give it a shot at actually outlasting this faddish stage -- netbooks like this just aren't going to cut it.

Nikon has a brand new digital single lens reflex (SLR) camera for the masses, and I can tell you from the start that this is not meant for folks who want to make an entry into the DSLR world, but it will target seasoned veterans instead. This digital camera will introduce a fair number of features that will make you fall in love with the D90 almost instantly, so get ready some tissue lest you drool all over your keyboard. The D90 is the culmination of years of experience from the folks at Nikon, placing great emphasis on brilliant image quality and versatility with its exclusive advanced Scene Recognition System. More on the D90 right after the jump.
Make no mistake about it - the D90 is not meant to be a flagship model, although it does draw plenty of inspiration from the D300, a DX-format digital SLR camera. Of course, judging by the model number alone, you can tell that this is the successor to the D80 and will come with a 12.3 megapixel CMOS image sensor for you to capture crisp and clear shots. In addition, the D90 will ship with Nikon’s very own EXPEED image processing system to deliver outstanding images with fine details, smooth tones, brilliant colors and low noise across a broad ISO range.
Another feature would be the ability to compose great looking shots thanks to the Live View Mode on the generous 3″ 920,000-dot high-resolution LCD screen. You also have the benefit of an 11-point auto focus (AF) system that makes use of Nikon’s exclusive Scene Recognition System and Face Detection in order to help even the unlearned shutterbug (who happens to have a damn good camera to boot) shoot pictures that aren’t anything to be sneezed at. Other features include the versatile AF-S NIKKOR 18-105mm Vibration Reduction image stabilization lens, and a burst rate of up to 4.5 frames per second in order to capture sudden and fast moments - too bad Nikon did not release this before the recently concluded summer Olympics, or you could’ve gotten a shot of Usain Bolt creating history three times at the Bird’s Nest.
The Nikon D90 will be released in the US from September onwards, retailing for $999.95 just for the body alone, while you have to fork out $1,299.95 for the body and lens outfit, including the new AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens.

We're got a tipster telling that Sony's new 9.9-mm thin, wireless Bravia ZX1 is absolutely, without a doubt, based on Amimon's WHDI (pre-standard) wireless technology. Not surprising given Sony's and Amimon's
collaborative effort to make WHDI a proper standard. Still, when we asked Sony, they gave us a sly grin followed by a, "no comment." Sony was willing to confirm a "guaranteed" 1080i transmission at a range of up to 20-meters. Amimon, on the other hand, can transmit 1080p / 30fps at distances up to 30-meters, you know, just as long as you're not separating devices with a wall of Kevlar and Kryptonite. Sony also told us that we can expect the thinster to land in Euroland before Xmas, but not the US where it would seem they have a different, non-integrated wireless model prepping for release. We'll see at CES in January if not earlier.

Do you sometimes feel the urge to just whip out a microphone from your briefcase and hold a speech? You’re not alone. Apparently, this desire is so common that someone decided to manufacture a briefcase PA system.
The built-in sound system has a 20-watt amplifier and dual, 4″ speakers that produce crisp sound from the briefcase’s front panel, ensuring crystal clear orations.
The 14″ by 15″ lectern props up the briefcase and easily accommodates legal pads and note cards. The unit provides two microphone options–a handheld condenser microphone with 9ft. of cable and a 3/4″ lavaliere model that clips to a tie or lapel.
The control panel on the side of the briefcase enables tone and volume adjustments and the 13″ gooseneck arm attaches to the briefcase and secures the handheld microphone at your preferred height.
All components store inside the briefcase with room to spare for documents, the attach combination lock provides optimal security, and line-out ports enable connection to external speakers and a tape recorder.
Can be powered for up to four hours by eight C batteries or plugs into AC.
The Orator Briefcase PA System measures 13(H) x 18(W) x 5(D) inches and weighs 15 lbs. The products is available from the Hammacher Schlemmer website or $349.95.
