Serious offer? If so want to set up a Skype call lol?

As well as getting an accountant you need to register your business (Ltd company or sole trader) with HMRC as soon as possible. If you leave it until they find you then you are in for a whole lot of trouble.

1. Work out how much you earned.
2. Count how much you've got left.
3. Send it to them.
4. Pray.

We received a small package in the mail today.
It is about the size of a pack of cigarettes, only 1/2 as thick.
When you open the package and flip open a lid a 1.5 inch touch screen invites you to start a video.
If you touch the screen a video advertisement plays.
A tiny speaker plays sound.
It has a USB connector on the side.
This is an unsolicited advertisement received via the US postage service.
I wonder how much that cost.

 I would think it would cost at least $50, likely more.
What was the ad for? And what identifying logos/names/etc were on the video device?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Serious? Electronics can be so cheap. Years ago the flip phones that sold for over $100 cost $7 to make. This probably cost $5.

5 - 10 Dollars, no more. Two years ago I got an advertising prospect from IBM with a small screen and video player integrated into the cardboard cover. Of course I took it apart and found the company that makes them. I can't remember their name, but I think this is really wasteful. Advertising material is printed by many thousands, each copy costing only a cent or less. Even if it costs only 5$, this is sinfully expensive and usually used to impress managers. To anybody with a brain this should have the opposite result.

Would be more funny if it was an ad for a printed book or something like that.
If its your suggestion, Id say it might be the NSA again, claiming that you don't use the Internets enough 
A funny side note; Google spellchecker claims that NSA is wrong, or doesn't exists.

I took such a thingy apart and the battery looked like a small lithium polymere battery. If it was one, then shorting it out would result in a spectacular self destruct.

Who cares how much it cost, it was free to you, the important part is... have you googled it and checked to see if it's hackable?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

That's what I want to know. Need a screen for your RazPi?

Yes and no. They don't use any standard interfaces and also special software to upload the video into the correct memory space, probably Flash RAM. Once you figure out the right pins on the circuit board and guessed the (probably serial) protocol, you could examine the memory content and eventually upload your own video.

Googled it for you, apparently more common that I thought. If you buy in quantity they can be bought fairly inexpensively. I assume they can be uploaded with whatever content you want.

When I look at the site I see starting prices around $5 USD, not "less than a penny".
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.
