Okay, it’s not really "Devil Wind," it’s "ionic wind," but all these scientific advancement sure do seem like the work of the Devil sometimes. Why, if we were back in Salem in 1692, we’d all be burned as witches. But, okay, for real, some researchers at Purdue University have created a method utilizing an "ionic engine" that creates positively charged particles that are then drawn to a negatively charged wire. This creates a movement of air that according to the researchers is 250% more effective in cooling components than regular fans. Their next demonic trick is the make the millimeter-sized device even smaller.

As if product placement wasn’t rampant enough, Haier introduces the Transformer-themed laptop. It’s a pretty standard computer (no whirring-transformation sounds, from what I’ve read) and has a pretty decent setup: 1920 x 1200 pixel 17-inch display, 2GB of RAM, 120GB Hard Disk, and a GeForce Go 7950GTX with 512MB of VRAM. The only thing related to the "Transformer" franchise is the big Autobot decal on the back, but I guess to many fans, that wouldn’t matter in the least.

Kuchofuku is making "Personal Air Conditioning" fashionable for body and home. The $399 5.3 pound bed has two fans to circulate cool air underneath you. After a cool and restful sleep you can arise to put on the air conditioned shirt.

The button-up has an integrated fan that is purportedly powered via USB, but is almost half the price of the bed at $159 each. No washing instructions either.
