That image has to be simulated. Ive never seen a projector manage contrast that high in sun that bright.

Of course it's simulated, there isn't a projector or cables running to it anywhere to be seen!

Cool to float it in a pool, but then it'd move around too much.

Don't know about you but I don't have a problem sleeping through the alarm, due to the fact the alarm is on my side and the wife will hit me repeatedly until its off. seems she has an issue with waking up at 430 in the morning :lol:

ya know thats actually not a bad idea! i have 2 alarms set on my phone to play annoying mp3s, and one that makes me "get up" and get to it, but usually i just halfway sit up and just reach for it to turn it off.

might actually pick one of these things up when its no longer just a concept product!

I cant remember where I found it, but there is an alarm clock that sends up a flying piece of plastic, and you have to wake up and find it, then replace it on the alarm clock to turn off the alarm... that will definately prevent the snooze button!

nice, though it looks like a 3 wheeled car, and if turn too tight in reverse you are going to get some fender damage!

The MP3 Player that plays cd's
You want to enjoy your audio CDs while traveling but you also have a huge MP3 collection at home that you want to take with you. The ideal solution? DMP, a portable music player that supports CD and MP3 files. Use the MP3 player as you normally would, hang it around your neck, clip it on your jeans or place it in your pocket. Otherwise open both sides and insert your favorite CD and you got yourself a CD player my friend. Now that’s music to my ears.
