While I think this idea is awesome, it solves a common problem in a unique and creative way, I sadly cannot watch the video: "Unfortunately, this EMI-music-content is not available in Germany because GEMA has not granted the respective music publishing rights." Oh my, one more video I cannot watch just because I am german and one more day of my life ruined by them :(

The video demonstrates the use of the router with no additional explanation. Observations from the video: 1) On the screen is a picture of the object, with a blue path representing the actual path of the router and a circle representing the fault tolerance of the system. Apparently, keep the path inside of the circle and you win. 2) The computer can move the router independently of its mount, within the tolerance represented by the onscreen circle. 3) It looks really easy to operate.

Especially since music is not essential to this clip. There is no "music" at all, just easy listening in the background. ;) Hint: Use a (free) youtube proxy ...

I have no idea how kosher this is on Hacker News, but I have mirrored the 480p version of this video for your viewing pleasure: http://nacr.us/help/mitRouter.mp4 http://nacr.us/help/mitRouter.mp4

By far the best solution I have found to this problem (I am german too) - preface the video link with 'ss' Like this: http://www.ssyoutube.com/watch?v=-UmL7xZZSUk http://www.ssyoutube.com/watch?v=-UmL7xZZSUk (remove the 'feature=player_embedded&' crap after copying the link to your url bar) The great thing about this is: no extra software needed (though there is an extension and an bookmarklet) and it gives you links to all video resolutions. Proxtube didn't work for me when I tried it and most of the time I like to download the videos with a download manager, which speeds things up on my slow connection (though the Flash Player seems to have gotten faster on my netbook, both download and playback-wise.
