Micro Anvika is giving away a free copy of Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 when you buy a MacBook Pro.

Apple is negotiating for the return of a 3G MacBook prototype that was purchased by a man in North Carolina via Craigslist earlier this year.

As a child, one of the first “extreme” things that we try is the swing. Not only do we get the rush of a controlled fall, but the backwards rush as well.

We really should never grow out of the swing, but they don’t make swingsets for adults. If you are looking for the thrill of the swing as an adult, you might want to check out A.J. Hackett Bungy’s Nevis Swing.

This particular swing is in New Zealand, and it has a 300 meter arc with 70-meter free fall. As you can see in the attached video after the jump, it is made for canyons and cliffs.

As you can see, the swing isn’t something that hangs off of a tree branch or metal pole. You don’t start it up by pumping your legs either.

Instead, you have to go to this bridge and mount it at the top of its 300-meter arc. Not the traditional way of doing a swing, but it will work.

I’m not certain if I would be willing to try this, but then again, I am nowhere near New Zealand. Perhaps I would give it a try, but I am sure that it isn’t free. I would imagine that you have to have your insurance forms filled out as well.

I wish that I was at IFA right now, as Sony is making truckloads of announcements about their new products.

One of them is HMZ-T1, a head-mounted wearable 3D display that promises to create an experience of watching 3D or 2D pictures on a movie theater-like virtual screen that is 750-inches on its diagonal.

That is quite a boast, and I know that most wearable video glasses from other companies say that they can reproduce the experience of a normal big-screen TV.

Sony plans to pack their HMZ-T1 with two 0.7-inch OLED panels with HD resolution (1,280 x 720). It will also have 5.1 surround sound speakers integrated in the unit, with a processor unit with two HDMI interfaces (input and output) for connecting televisions, consoles, or Blu-ray players.

It will weigh in at 420 grams, with a size of 180 x 168 x 36 mm. The HMZ-T1 has a 45 degree horizontal viewing angle for viewing that giant screen.

The HMZ-T1 plans to go on sale in Japan on November 11. As far as I know, this is the biggest electronics company that has created video glasses. Most of the video glasses that I have seen come from independent companies, like the MyVu. If the HMZ-T1 is a hit in Japan, then Sony could succeed in cornering the market in video glasses.

What you are about to see in the video after the jump is known as Seamless Computing, and it really is where we are headed, as far as technology is concerned.

The demonstration is courtesy of a company known as Nsquared, and it shows how a Windows 7 Mobile Phone, Kinect, and Surface can work together. As far as I know, Microsoft did not sponsor this in any way.

You can see the demonstrator realizing that certain door handles are not right for a home that he is designing. He then must open up the plans on his Surface, and he can use a tablet PC to view the house in 3D. He can also use a Kinect for a virtual walkthrough.

He then orders up new door handles on his tablet PC, and the image of the old door handles are magically replaced. He then takes it a step further and takes a picture of a lamp in his home and incorporates it in the virtual houseplan.

After he updates the house, he manages to update the original bill of sale for the old door handles and updates it on the Surface. Then he “magically” emails the updated bill to his friend on the phone.

This is really what we want, right? All of mobile and video devices working together. I hope this is our future, honestly. But everyone needs a Surface.

There are many different kinds of people in this world with various personalities, and all of us do things in our very own quirky way (which we deem as ‘normal’, of course). Well, some of us are extremely tidy, and would love to have everything in its proper place, being incapable of standing just a bit of a mess, while others feel that being more ‘random’ (that’s a nice way of calling it ‘a mess’) is the way to go. Well, for those who are extremely tidy, you might want to check out the $11.99 Tidy Ruler.

This rather interesting piece of stationary will feature a built-in hand-cranked pencil sharpener as well as a place for you to stash away your pencil in the ruler itself when you do not need it. Made out of beautiful, sturdy rosewood, this is one modern piece of school stationary that is old school in nature. Perfect for any math class that you have enrolled your little one in, that’s for sure.

There is nothing quite like a brain teaser to get the good ol’ grey matter going, especially when you are in the middle of the work week and need to look towards other sources of inspiration if you happen to hit a road block mentally at the office. Why not take five with the $19.99 Maze Racer? Of course, this is actually meant for small kids, but at least you can get rid some of that pre-road rage out of your system before you actually get behind the wheel.

Your little one, whether a boy or a girl, would most probably want to get behind the wheel when dad or mom is not around, never mind that their legs can’t even touch the pedals when they’re seated right out in front. With the Maze Racer, they will be able to wreck their brains trying to find a way to guide the trapped marble out of the fiendishly difficult maze. You will need to go through a bunch of twists, turns, loops, and drops with techno music blaring in the background while the timer makes its way to the finish line.

Best of all is, the Maze Racer will log your best time so that others will always attempt to challenge your high score.
