Smart Cube Beam Thing

I was looking for a yeast to make Makgeolli with and thought I would try and see what 11st.co.kr would give up as a result. Instead of looking for the yeast, I saw this on the front page


It is an interesting little device and I can see it having some use, even if that us is extremely limited .

The fun part about the device was not the video though, or imagining a possible use to justify that price. Instead it was the images on the promotion page they use to show possible uses After watching the video I had a look at the images on the site that they use to show some of the possibilities.

Really? We’re going camping, and instead of taking a tablet or a decent projector, I’m going to run my phone dry on this? Never mind that we will have to hunch over the phone anyway just to hear the sounds.

Those children watching on the wall… just look at that terrible photoshop insertion of the product.

The man and his son sit in a huge arse room with a huge arse LCD TV and they go with a projector and bad sound? Yea, that is the way to use technology effectively.

The people go for a picnic on the Han river and they just happen to bring a big white screen, somthing, along to project the news, or whatever that is, onto the screen. Are they really the desperate for news?

The boy watching on the ceiling is nice though, but somehow I think he will quickly swap over to the phone itself when he realises that he has to hold the projector still the whole time. Since getting him to actually sleep in his bed is not a problem, why not spend a little bit more and buy him a tablet rather than this really limited use projector? THAT will keep him nice and awake at night.

Oh, and let’s not forget the completely stupid insertion of an unrelated pretty girl into the image above the two pricing options
