  the correct message will be:
  "Windows has detected new hardware. This hardware could run faster if you download ..." X-D

Direct Short
WOW what a great way to run down and ruin your laptop battery.
A bulb that amounts to a direct short.
I could see doing this ok with an LED but never with a bulb.
P.S. this is likely to kill your PC system board.
But I give you this much. It's another great use for those worthless AOL CD's

- Education?
  Believe it or not, a lightbulb has an impedance. This is not a direct short buddy.

Or...
You could just turn on the main light in the room, or buy a lamp that looks like it hasn't been made from old CD's and a bit of card

Hey ZaneGamble...
Well if you go to dnscoop.com and type in Metacafe.com you'll notice that it says that Metacafe has between 10,000 and 100,000 vistors a day, and that number is increasing exponetially. So you could make a video today, be on the producers award tomorrow and be $1,000 richer on the third day....Tha's just how things work here....oh and Welcome to Metacafe ZaneGamble

On/Off and Brightness
How do you control on/off and brightness with this setup through the PC? (that is what I was initially looking for when I found this :P )

Very Nice!!
But since USB is capable of giving a default ampere count of 100mA you must use a 6V low ampere count bulb or else it willbe so dim.Buth the real prob in this lamp is mounting the shade.It keeps rocking all da time.

pretty clever
but you'll need a much bigger bulb if you're running Vista.
