Motorized Pool Lounger

Motorized Pool Lounger

Motorized Pool Lounger. OK, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the point of a pool *lounger* to…ahem…lounge? Technically this should be called a Motorized Pool Annoyer, shouldn’t it? Yeah well, it’s $149.95 (not including third party liability insurance we presume).

The Motorized Pool Lounger may be the most advanced pool lounger in the world—and it’s definitely the most fun! Two quiet but powerful motors will propel you around your pool in comfort and style, with easy-to-use joysticks that control two independent propellers. Why just float when you can drive?

• Large, comfortable armrests
• Independent power and directional control
• Built-in cup holder
• Supports up to 250 pounds!
• Two separate motor/propeller subassemblies
• Sturdy 0.35 mm PVC construction
• Requires 12 x 1.5 volt D-Cell batteries (not included)

Samsung shows off flash laptop drive at CeBIT

Samsung shows off flash laptop drive at CeBIT


That long-dreamed-of product, the solid-state laptop, is one step closer to reality, as Samsung is showing off a flash-powered laptop at CeBIT. The demo box uses a 32GB 1.8-inch solid-state drive created by Samsung, to show off the company's flash chops. Unfortunately, at $30 per gigabyte, the 32GB drive would cost over $900. However, with flash prices continuing to decline, and companies like Intel predicting that flash laptops are on their way, we may not have to wait too much longer for this to be feasible -- though, even at over $900, that flash laptop drive sounds mighty tempting.
