Camcorders are among the latest gadgets that have scaled down to pocketable sizes. Pure Digital Technologies is one of the companies that has led the pack with its line of Flip Video cameras, enabling a new generation of YouTubers and spontaneous documentarians alike. As these compact video cameras have been shrinking, though, the race to larger HD resolutions has escalated. Pure Digital Technologies has just released the latest member of its lineup, the Flip MinoHD, which shoots 720p footage.
Flip Video MinoHD Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Black)
Its only $229 - I highly recommend it!

Lego - pneumatic cylinder truck
One of the most memorable things in my childhood was coveting toys that I didn't have. Top of this list was lego, since lego was not available in India when I was growing up, I had to rely on friends who had a frequently traveling relative abroad. Almost all lego stuff was really cool to me, untill one day I discovered a motorized truck that had incredible load capacity. This was my first introduction to a pneumatic machine (a machine powered by compressed air). I managed to find some penumatic cylinder trucks being sold on amazon for as low as $30.
iPhone unlock tool
I will soon be posting a full instruction on how to get your iPhone on the cheap. Stay tuned.
Here is the link to a unlock tool that actually works. I got it for about $13 (including shipping), the prices change regularly (right now its around $17 shipped). This is probably the cheapest option out there since most of these are going for $25-$30 on ebay.

There is only one caveat to using this. Sometimes* your iphone will display a message of "SIM Failure" or "Invalid SIM". If this happens you can either fix the problem by resetting your iphone (i.e. turning it off and then off), or sometimes you can fix the problem by just turning the airplane mode on and off. If that doesn't fix it the surest way to fix this is to turn off the iphone, pop the sim out, pop it back in, and turn it on.
* "Sometimes" is vauge. Here is the "problem" log:
day 0 - inserted the t-mobile sim card - It works!!! yay!
day 3 - whoops "sim failure". Restarted the phone - its fixed.
day 15 - whoops "sim failure". Airplane mode did the trick.
So there you go, you can't really average it out since I've only had the iPhone for less than 20 days.
I'll keep everyone updated.
