USB Whack-A-Mole: Bring The Carnival To Your Desk

A USB powered version of a carnival classic, whack-a-mole. For roughly $42(the listed price is 21.00€) you get this little tabletop game where you “whack” little ghosts by pressing them with your fingers when they light up.

It keeps score and has sound effects for the whacking. It’s too bad the ghosts don’t pop up and down like the real whack-a-mole. Then again, I was never good at the real whack-a-mole, so I might have a fighting chance with this version. Cotton Candy and seedy gamer merchants not included.

Now being the cynical, non-trusting individual that I am when I hear such offers I want to investigate to find out the catch. Now obviously they do not disclose during the radio commercial anything about what is required to qualify for the free laptop. This should be illegal and banned by the FCC but I am not going to hold my breath.

The Samsung Instinct (aka iPhone Hunter)

Despite what we and other media have hinted at, despite what Sprint itself is spending a lot of money trying to convey, the Samsung Instinct is not an iPhone killer. To be sure, Samsung and Sprint borrowed liberally from the iPhone playbook when it came to look and feel. But the comparison itself isn’t [...]
