If you are looking for a unique and awesome way to teach your little ones all about money management then are should no farther than the Children’s ATM Bank. They recommend this bank for children 8 and up but I believe that the younger the better as long as they do not put the money or other small objects in their mouth they are ready to learn.

This cool electronic teller machine will help your children learn all about money management as they maintain a savings account. The account can hold up to $999.99. The ATM Bank will accept real coin and currency deposits, will show then up to date account information right on the screen. They will love saving money when they can actually see how much they are saving.

That title was a bit of a mouthful but this is the first PC Based DJ Mixer that I’ve seen for well under 100 quid (£69 to be precise).

I’m generally not a fan of DJ music (see I don’t even know the proper term for it) but I’ve been dragged to a few clubs before and can kind of appreciate there is some musical ability involved in working the decks (though I think I’ll stick to rock thank you).

Do you enjoy giving unique and fun gifts at Christmas time or for birthday’s? If you really enjoy a good laugh and a surprised face on the recipient’s face then you must get some of these money soaps.

Everyone will be ready to wash their wash when they learn there is money to be found in the center of the money soap. Even children will love washing their hands to find out the surprise inside.

Each bar of soap is guaranteed to contain a $1, $5, $10, $20, or a $50 dollar bill. You will not have any idea of what the bill is until you wash your hands enough to wear down the soap. Then the money will be revealed.

Some of us may be proud of the world’s biggest plasma screen that we have installed at home. The gigantic, flat-screen panel mounted on the wall at your home, exclusive ownership to the one that owns it wholly, giving its master a treat on the various entertainment channels that it could receive from broadcasting stations.

Our friends over at Game Addicts have a piece on the new TivoToGo function. The idea is that you can record content on your Tivo and then download it to a PSP for viewing on the move.

Annoyingly it’s only going to be available as an add on for Tivo series 2 owners so we miss out in the UK (again)

www.cinenow.com contacted us to say that they have some video footage of the recent Best of Stuff / What Hifi show, including a neat demonstration of my personal show favourite the Nuvu screen.

Thanks Bob!

There’s also an interview of Naim concentrating on their new N-vi DVD player / amplifier combo. Having sat through a demo of this I can attest that it’s really rather special (as it should be for over £3,000 retail).

Words and pictures cannot do high end home cinema justice, so if the price doesn’t put you off (or you just want to see how they justify it) get yourself down to your local Naim dealer and prepare to be impressed.
