There’s a.. number of things that’s wrong with it. Let’s list them, shall we? First off, its not even Homer’s real voice, so it’s already unconvincing. Second, it’s pretty much badly made. Watch this video, and see Shiny Shiny have a hard time with this thing.

Ever look at the moon outside at night, and wish that that very same light was lighting your own room? Well, look no further, because it’s here, once you have these strange Russian personal moon light boxes. I’m not really sure what they’re used for, but users who have them, find some interesting, classic, or even cryptic uses for this portable crescent. I’m not sure that you’ll want to use it as a night light though, it seems that someone might have set the brightness level to “Sun.”

Windows Mobile owners who use Macs will probably be familiar with Missing Sync, the application that let’s you sink your smart phone with OS X’s calender, and iCal.

A couple other new features include video plug-in for video importing, and call log / SMS log importing, to grab the call/SMS list from your phone to your computer. If you’ve got a Windows Mobile phone, and a Mac, this is a must.
