Orb: Wireless Router via Electric Powerlines

Orb, Wireless Router by Liteon Technology Corp

A pretty good concept in wireless home networking. The Orb allows users to use the existing electical wiring as a backbone to their ISP connection. Then using a transmitter that can be connected to normal light bulb socket, wireless networking can be achieved anywhere in the house as long as there is a spare lightbulb socket somewhere.

An added bonus here is that the Orb is nice looking and doesn't even look like a networking device at all.
