Wanetlight controlled by Wiimote
The Wiimote is certainly more useful than just controlling Mario's kart - it can even be hacked to control the Wanetlight - a luminous suspension composed of 25 blown glass candles which ultimately form a 3D matrix of light. It comprises of 5 x 5 x 5 LEDs clustered across all three axes in order to form a luminous 3D screen cage. All the LEDs can be individually pilored, alloing users to configure a light composition of their choice in space.

GM Offers One-Year, 12,000-Mile Warranty on All CPO Vehicles
If you can swing it in this tough economic climate, it sure isn't a bad time to buy a car. On top of GM's employee pricing deal for new cars, the automaker is also offering a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty on all of its certified pre-owned vehicles.
Bumper-to-bumper and fully transferable, the warranty can be tacked on to GM's typical five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
GM has also extended its standards for CPO vehicles to include models as old as six years or with as many as 75,000 miles on the odometer. The deal only applies to the Buick, Chevy, GMC, Pontiac and Saturn brands. Left out are Cadillac, Hummer and Saab (although, thanks to gas prices, there's never been a cheaper time to buy a new Hummer).
GM expects to sell its 3 millionth vehicle through its certified pre-owned program this September, which would make it the first certified used-vehicle program to reach that mark.
