SolarFocus makes this solar powered case, which will keep your Kindle charged for three months.

If this didn’t have that wart on the top with a light attached, I’d buy this now.

This cover clarifies a few insights regarding solar power.

The greatest hindrance to solar power adoption is probably power consumption, not solar power output. SolarFocus isn’t making a breakthrough here; they’re just pairing solar panels with a device that barely sips from it’s battery. Perhaps solar will receive more usage not because of it’s own improvements, but because of improvements with digital power consumption.

I’d like to see e-ink and solar be paired more often. Together they inspire a design style that is wholly different from the current gadget aesthetic: a style that embraces light form, simple utility, and persistent function. This might allow designers to digitize tools which have never been within the economic reach of consumer technology. Think wall calendars, thermostats, traffic signs, menus outside of restaurants, etc.

Also, it’s a testament to the low price of the Kindle that at $80 this cover costs more than Amazon’s cheapest device.

Wow, this is either one of the guys from that “Thunderbirds” TV show (freaked me out as a kid) or a leftover from “Team America: World Police”.. But the guy on the right looks so real, it’s scary .. (lol).

Clingle has now added the ability to send location-based gift cards. The next time you are in a Starbucks or an American Eagle store, or even seated in the comfort of your home, you can buy and leave a gift card for your Clingle or Facebook friends at that location, allowing them to unlock it when they get there.

Cosenza’s website hosts an interactive map of the Italian blogosphere which is well worth a try, but here’s the map of its thematic clusters, followed by one showing the relationships between the 139 most cited blogs. These maps are the prefect blend of data science and art.
