Memory Facts
Computer Memory fact #1: For the faint of heart, when programs or data files are called up from permanent storage, they are not moved, they are merely copied. If the power goes off during processing, programs generally are safe. The only loss will be data that was changed since the last save.
Computer Memory fact #2: If you decided to get a MAC computer, don’t worry. The MAC computer comes loaded with a proprietary operating system and the proper amount of RAM to run it.

Laserpod
Laserpod
Designed by the bloke who foisted the rocket-shaped lava lamp on us, assisted by über-snapper Mario Testino, this tube spits three lasers and a load of ultraviolet LEDs through a Swarovski crystal to conjure a groovy light effect.
Using the latest in laser, LED and crystal optics, Laserpod brings science and nature together to create ever-changing organic lightforms of profound beauty.
The Laserpod comes with the main unit, a small and a tall diffuser dome, a power adaptor, a Swarvorski crystal set into the base unit and a glass refractor lens.
The domes can be place onto the main unit easily and fit tight but not too tight to be able to change them or remove them.
With the diffuser in place, the Laserpod is a meditative ambient lamp; remove the diffuser and these effects can be projected onto a wall or across an entire room.
Use the glass refractor lens to bend the laser beams into swirling nebulas and gaseous clouds from far off planets. Beam yourself into a mind-boggling supernova of nebulas kaleidoscopic light.
Choose between two dazzling displays•Red laser for scintillating astral projection•Red laser / blue LED combination for awesome cosmic cloud effects.
Using only red is also a good effect, but the blue and red is even better. If you place the refractor lens on top of the main unit, the red lights diffuse even more on the dome surface to provide even more spectacular effects.
Press ReviewsStuff Magazine (UK, October 2004)Out of our boxes on cheap cider one night, we plucked this wee fella from its container and plugged it in. It’s a simple but awe-inspiring attractive illumination station. With domed diffuser in place, the Laserpod works like a kind of hi-tech lava lamp. Remove the diffuser, though, and the effects are projected onto wall or ceiling with scant regard for architecture.
WiredThe Laserpod, from British lighting firm Plugg, is a sleek, laser-powered lamp that can turn even the most boring room into an ambient make-out zoneOliver Bennett Design Week (July 2004)Chris Levine’s lighting work transforms its surroundings, creating an atmospheric, off-kilter environment that makes the everyday world look drab and lifeless.
The GuardianUsing the latest in laser, LED and crystal optics, Laserpod is possibly the coolest lighting kit everCraig Johnson, LED MuseumIt’s one of the most fantastic products I’ve come across in recent memory BCOOLThe Laserpod is the coolest lamp to come out since the first lava lamp back in the 60’s. We think it’s even better.
