failedrobot.com — Control Freaks are devices that attach to everyday objects, turning them into controllers for video games. When the Control Freak device clamps onto a host, sensors on the device can detect movement or vibration when the host object is manipulated. Watch a video where someone plays pacman by rolling in an office chair.

Was I the only person who found that page to crash their firefox everytime they tried to open it?

It worked ok for me. I guess because the page instantly buffers each of the Quicktime clips as soon as you follow the link - that's probably the fault.However - regarding the device. I thought it was quite good how it can be multi-purpose, although I think the whole project seems pretty redundant.But at least I got to see a cute oriental girl spazing around in an office chair with a laptop to brighten up my morning.=D

Courtesy of Wikipedia: "Major objections to the use of Oriental are chiefly limited to North America. Its use is much less controversial in Europe and Hawaii, as well as in Asia where, especially in Southeast Asian countries, the word is in comparatively widespread usage. In Europe the term is used to describe such things as the East's cuisine and goods, ancient culture, and religions, at times to denote an exotic quality with upmarket or mildly positive connotations."
