Easy Ethernet in any Room!

Lol, yeah I could receive my neighbours camera (which they had pointed on their driveway) on our baby monitor TV. Of course that meant they could also keep an eye on the baby :P (although I turned the antenna away from them so it would be hard to receive a useful picture)

They were fat and old.
Actually, I could have a use for usb over AC lines. I keep my main PC in the basement and often it's too cold down there for a printer to function reasonably. Causes real pain every time I want to print. If I could keep the printer in an out of the way spot upstairs without having to have a whole PC setup just for printing, that would be pretty big.
Would such a device have to be on the same physical circuit?
EDIT: ah, it's not even out yet.

I had something like that a few years back. I used it for a month and found that my power bill had almost doubled. So the next month, I plugged it in only when I needed it, and my bill went back to normal. I called Linksys about it and they told me that couldn't possibly happen. So the next month, I left it plugged in all the time and my bill went back up to almost double again. The day after I got the bill, I sold the devices on eBay.
I'm guessing that's not the norm. Maybe I had a defective device or something weird with my home's wiring, but I won't be risking it again. On this house I spent the money and time required to wire the place for Ethernet.

How could that possibly happen unless the thing was eating amps like candy?

No clue. It didn't make any sense to me either. I wasn't going to keep the thing around to investigate, though. It was the only variable I changed during that time, and there were no major differences weather-wise between the three months I had it that would change my air conditioning needs or whatever.
