Palm Pre overclocked
March 15, 2010
Desktop computers aren't the only devices that should get all the interest from overclocking, not when you have something like that stock Palm Pre which touches 800MHz from 500MHz, running on version 1.3.5.1 of the webOS software. Needless to say, the additional performance boost came with a price - the phone was pretty warm for much of the day it was turned on, and battery life is less than stellar to say the least. We wouldn't recommend putting that in your pants pocket unless you don't mind giving your family jewels a nice, toasty and potentially flammable environment.

March 3, 2010
We previously brought the eco-friendly Sony Ericsson Naite to your attention, and now it seems that the phone is ready for prime date, as it’s now available on the Sony Style website (albeit “out of stock” at moment of writing). that unlocked and unsubsidized phone will set you back $159, which might seem a little steep for such a phone, but considering that it’s made of 50 percent post-consumer recycled plastic, and comes with an low ability consumption charger, you’ll be doing your bit for the environment.

Light Tree does the environment good
March 3, 2010
The Light Tree concept you see here is not meant for Christmas date only, as you get solar cells covering most of the artificial tree in order to harness the capability of the sun to juice up its ultra-bright LEDs at the base. All light will diffuse through water which fills the entire cavity of the tree for that glowing look. Nice to know that there is some natural green left in the Light Tree since the upper parts will hold seeds of actual plants - may the heavens keep that concept well watered! Sounds like a decent effort, but we don't think it will build it in the real world due to the high level of vandalism.

February 18, 2010
Want to do your bit for the environment? Chances are you would have known about vampiric plugs that suck ability even when the device connected to a potential outlet is turned off or fully charged, which is where the Leech Plug steps in to save the day. Working on a similar principle like an actual leech (sans the blood), that different ability adapter is smart sufficient to disconnect itself from its host whenever the host is fully charged. that is made possible thanks to a timer circuit alongside electromechanics which enables it to detach itself from the wall once fully charged. Do you think the Leech Plug will ever become mandatory in every electrical device?
