- Top 10 Eco-Friendly and Green Gadgets of 2011! #EarthDay - 2011-04-22 16:35:08-04
Well, today is that day folks, it’s called Earth Day and you know what? It’s time for the most eco-friendly and green gadgets of 2011! Solar LED Desk Lamp – I work right by a big window that gets a lot of sunlight. This Solar LED Desk Lamp will definitely cut your desktop electric bill to near zero because it can be fully-recharged and provides 5 hours of light. Best of all, it comes with a 12-feet outdoor-rated wire to the solar panel, meaning you can put the solar panel outside and convert all those UV rays into desktop power. I am actually going to get this, I love this. USB Solar Charger/Battery Pack – This one is great for trips where you won’t have access to power as you will get 2 full charges on a smartphone plus more if there’s sunlight. I would just have one in my car just in case I get stuck in the middle of nowhere and my car breaks down while my phone dies from no battery. The Sunforce 60-watt Solar Charging Kit is a DIY solar panel kit that gives you up to 60-watts of power. The great thing about this solar … Continue reading
- Apple Sues Samsung, Samsung Sues Apple! - 2011-04-22 17:39:51-04
So Apple sues Samsung last week and today we hear news that Samsung sues Apple (not a counter-sue but on different matter). Now here’s the really funny part, Samsung is one of the largest supplier’s of Apple’s products for iPhone/iPad/iPod semiconductors. Why would you do that to Samsung Apple? I know, I know, we’ve been through this like a hundred times before, Apple just likes to sue and leave nails sticking out in other people’s businesses. In fact, Samsung’s Chairman Lee Kun Hee says, “When a nail sticks out, [people] try to pound it down.” I think he means that Apple will go down and Samsung will stop supplying parts to Apple. The most frustrating thing for me as a consumer, “is why?” Apple acts like they’ve invented everything when they don’t realize that much of parts that go in it were invented by someone else (like Samsung). And now Samsung sues them back for what they should have done long time ago. And I don’t get how they have the “balls” (that’s right I said balls if you want to hear it again) to sue one of their major suppliers (who can probably drive them out of business … Continue reading

Any driver will know that being behind a cyclist apart from being super slow you never know when or where they are going to stop or change direction, which can be very dangerous! However, all of this could soon change with the Blink Cycle Helmet!

Here are some features and details for the in pool exercise bike; Because the exercise is performed in water, the pool bicycle helps relieve stress on weight-bearing joints, increases flexibility, and improves balance and posture.

This indie horror flick looks like an instant classic. Very spooky, with the sort of scares that make you feel icky on the inside.

- Cool Apple Keyboard Design - 2011-04-26 02:00:35-04
Could this possibly be the coolest Apple keyboard in the board? Well many people think so and to be perfectly honest I am going to have to agree with them. It is called the Engrain tactile keyboard, designed by student Michael Roopenian, the idea behind this style is that it gives the users a touch of natural materials in world surrounded by plastic and metals.

- Google Admits Tracking Android User Movements - 2011-04-26 05:00:38-04
While the tech world stood back in horror as it was found that the Apple were able to track users of the iOS system, it seems that they are not the only firm doing this little party trick as now it seems that Google are able and have been doing the same thing with users of Android powered devices. According to a Google spokesperson, “All location sharing on Android is opt-in by the user. We provide users with notice and control over the collection, sharing and use of location in order to provide a better mobile experience on Android devices.” They continued by saying, “Any location data that is sent back to Google location servers is anonymised and is not tied or traceable to a specific user.” The problem is the data being stored in the consolidated.db file the same as with the Apple iPhone, but this is easily sorted out by simply turning off the location services feature on the device, this works with both iOS and Android powered devices.
