Samsung launches 46 inch display for outdoor useSamsung Korea has just launched its latest outdoor display for commercial use: the 460DRn. The 46″ display will come with a brightness level of 1,500cd/m2 and has touchscreen support built-in for greater interactivity with customers.

That’s not all, the 460DRn also has an integrated computer under the hood, so you can run your programs without needing another PC. The all-in-one display is water, dust and moisture proof, hence the “for outdoor use” tag. Don’t expect it to be vandalism proof however. Just tell yourself it looks good in graffiti.

VR Treadmill
For those who believe that they can only get an effective workout outdoors, here’s something that will trick you into getting in shape without hitting the front door. What we have here is basically a fancy treadmill with a curved VR display on top.

It’s a great distraction from your workout, but imagine the video game possibilities. You could actually run around while fragging people. Better yet, jog around the halls of the Starship enterprise or on Mars. Doctor Who fans could pretend that they are being chased by Daleks. Oh yes. It has the potential to get everyone exercising. Especially nerds. At last nerds will be fit and rule the world.

Mail Chime lets you know when you have mail

Mail Chime lets you know when you have mail
What we have here is basically a doorbell for your mailbox. It’s a transmitter and receiver combination with a 300 foot range. When mail is deposited into your box, an alarm will sound and you’ll see a red LED light until the mail is retrieved.

This sounds absolutely ridiculous right, because you probably need the exercise of checking the mail more often anyway. But for some people, especially those in apartments, checking the mail may involve leaving the apartment and going all the way down a flight of stairs or more, only to find there’s no mail. That’s the sort of situation this comes in handy for. It’s only $49.95.
