Vintage Wallpaper – Red and White | Flip Video

OK, so this isn’t strictly about interior design per se, but how cute is this – the Mino Flip Videocam, available in an unlimited number of skin patterns!

I am going to be quite unable to resist buying one of these things in the pattern shown, especially because I’m a complete sucker for anything red.

Offered in two models, at an incredibly reasonable price, and able to record up to 4 hours of video on a single charge with the larger model, this compact little camcorder that will plug directly into a USB port to upload your video to your computer or directly to email ought to fulfill almost anyone’s recording needs, at a price that can’t be beat.

If you can’t find one of their own skin designs from among the literally hundreds they offer that suits your fancy, including other wallpaper-like designs, you can either upload your own image or design your own pattern from scratch – so you can literally match it to your own wallpaper, if you want – or anything else.

The customization options boggle the mind.  Talk about a great way to personalize a gift, or put your company logo on gear used in-house so it will more likely find its way home if you misplace it somewhere, or to just have a whole lot of fun, and be sure that your camcorder will never be mistaken by anyone else for their own.

High Tech Refrigerator with Lots of Storage Space

Samsung’s New French Door Refrigerator Transforms a Kitchen Staple into an Interactive, Digital Lifestyle Centerpiece

Touch Screen Control Panel

7″ LCD Touch Screen Paired with 28.5 cu. ft. of Internal Space Offers Consumers Easy Organization Inside and Out

RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J., Nov 03, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Samsung Electronics America Inc., a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, announces the latest addition to its rapidly expanding kitchen suite of appliances with the RFG299 French Door Refrigerator. The new RFG299 French Door Refrigerator includes a convenient 7″ LCD touch screen above the ice and water dispenser and delivers the industry’s largest internal storage at 28.5 cu. ft. in a standard footprint.

In recognizing the kitchen as the heart of the home, and reinforcing its commitment to develop innovative products that enhance consumer lifestyles, Samsung developed the LCD touch screen to give consumers easy access to calendars, schedules, showcase photos, nutrition facts, and unit conversions. A simple touch of the screen can control the refrigerator’s temperature or monitor the water filter status.

“Whether entertaining friends or preparing dinner with the family, Samsung understands the kitchen is the focal point in today’s modern home,” said James Politeski, vice president of Home Appliance Sales & Marketing. “The 7″ LCD Touch Screen takes our already highly-regarded 28.5 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator to a new level of innovation all to make life a little easier for our customers.”

Samsung is able to achieve the RFG299 French Door Refrigerator’s larger interior capacity thanks to high-rate urethane insulation technology, which reduces the refrigerator walls from 2.04 inches to 1.38 inches, resulting in an extra 3.5 cubic feet, or 14%, more storage space for consumers. Amazingly, despite the extra space inside, the RFG299’s size on the outside remains the same for quality cooling without the need for a new kitchen layout.

Along with the breakthrough technical advancements, the RFG299 French Door Refrigerator features many sleek details that combine for an ideal refrigerator solution. The interior LED lighting is considerably brighter than lamp-based illumination. Samsung’s EZ-Open(TM) Handle effortlessly breaks the freezer seal, eliminating the need to strain when opening. And the exterior door handles, hidden hinges, and stainless finish add tasteful elegance to any kitchen.

The innovative Twin Cooling Plus(TM) System allows the main body of the refrigerator and freezer section to be cooled separately, ensuring odors from compartments do not mix and create ice cubes that taste like last night’s leftovers. The Twin Cooling Plus(TM) System offers professional-grade cooling to maximize and prolong freshness.

Samsung has recently been named by J.D. Power in the 2008 Home Appliance Study as the brand ranked highest in customer satisfaction for Side-by-Side/French Door Refrigerators. Samsung excelled in the areas of performance, ease of use, styling and feel, and operational features. This marked the fourth year in a row that Samsung has received a customer satisfaction award from J.D. Power for refrigerators.

The new Samsung RFG299 French Door Refrigerator is available in stainless steel at select Best Buy locations now. For more information, please visit www.samsung.com/homeappliances.
