It looks like MSI’s taking another page from ASUS’s Eee playbook — the Wind netbook is getting a desktop sibling. MSI was actually showing off the Atom-based minitower at Computex last month, and while final specs and pricing aren’t official, it sounds like the machine will include Windows XP, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB drive, DVD drive, and WiFi for somewhere between $200 and $300 when it goes on sale sometime in September — but you’ll have to be in Europe or Asia to snag one, as MSI says they won’t make it to the US. That’s a shame, as the power-sipping machine is pretty intriguing: the 1.6GHz system at Computex was able to play back 720p video using just 30 watts of power — compared to 242 watts for a normal PC. (MSI says the Wind desktop isn’t quite capable of 1080p playback yet, but it hinted that future versions will get there.) Hopefully MSI will have a change of heart between now and September.

Twemco Industries has been producing fully automatic perpetual calendar flip clocks for over 30 years, and to be in business with a name like Twemco for that long, you have to assume they make a great product. And since the company has over half a million clocks installed in banks, corporations and other commercial offices where keeping track of the exact date and time is very important, it’s not surprising that their latest models will automatically set and sync themselves to the various atomic time broadcasts around the world. In fact they’re so accurate they’ll only drift by about a second every million years.

The clocks are available in a variety of designs and layouts (with or without the date) and while the majority of them feature black and white schemes, there does appear to be at least one color model in their collection. And they’re all available from the equally retro-styled Twemco website.

I know a lot of people must really enjoy roller coasters, otherwise amusement parks wouldn’t be spending millions of dollars on the latest and greatest designs. But the faster/taller/twistier a coaster gets, the longer the line usually gets. So what if everyone could have their very own roller coaster and never have to wait in line again? That’s kind of the idea behind the Evento BuzzBall concept. It features a single seat inside a large outer ball that’s able to spin and roll independently of the ball itself, providing a similar experience to being on a roller coaster.

A pair of electric motors is used to power the BuzzBall, so you don’t need a steep hill to enjoy it, just a large open space. Each motor is controlled by a separate throttle which will either cause the chair to spin inside the ball or work together to push the ball forward. However, once the BuzzBall is in motion and the pilot decides to turn, their seat inside the ball will rotate against the direction of travel resulting in spins, somersaults, corkscrews, barrel rolls and other nausea inducing motions. And just remember, if you do happen to vomit inside the BuzzBall, it’s coming along on the ride with you.

While the BuzzBall’s not officially available for sale at the moment, it does appear that Evento has every intention of eventually bringing it to the market.

Some suspicious bosses would love the remote controlled Rovio robot, as you can drive it around in your office space, to go around and watch what the staff are doing in the office.

The big company Nokia from a small country Finland is planning to make some major changes in the mobile industry. The first step is to acquire the remaining shares in Symbian, the software company that develops and licences Symbian OS, an open operating system for mobile devices. Nokia, which makes 40 per cent of all phones sold globally, will pay €264 million ($410 million) for the 52 per cent of British-based Symbian it does not already own. Secondly, Nokia would gradually open up the Symbian platform, making it open source. And thirdly, it is bringing all the leading mobile players together for the Symbian platform.
