Orange’s latest eco-friendly phone charger comes in a boot.

Have you hugged a tree today? If not, don’t fret. Simply pick up a pair of the Orange Power Wellies boots — a pair of boots that uses heat from every foot step to recharge your phone. I often forget to bring my charging cable with me, resulting in a power depleted phone by midday. Though I doubt I’d ever forget my feet (unless someone else was using them of course). Precisely the phone accessory I could use. However, the reported 12-hour stomp session...

Kia introduces the Ray: Solar power, 202 MPG, and a sweet futuristic look.

Kia introduces the Ray: Solar power, 202 MPG, and a sweet futuristic look.

I love gadgets. Check, we know that. Chocolate. Yup, we’ve gone over that too. But cars? Ya, I Iike cars too — futuristic, gadget/electronic filled cars. Out of all the car manufacturers you would expect to hear unveiling a super teched out car, Kia has this time stolen my attention with the Ray. The Ray screams futuristic. Just look at it.

Making road construction faster, easier, and completed on time: The Road Printer

I can certainly appreciate the hard work that most road construction workers do.

The nifty thing about this little space lander-esque device...

Augmented Reality finds new home in Japanese vending machines.

You know, with each and every “far out there” or geeky invention I see come forth from the great island way out east, I find myself second guessing my decision of staying here in the states. Of course, I don’t have too many options at the moment, finishing school and all. But nothing can quite compare to the uniquely weird things that Japan’s greatest minds put forth. Case in point: AR equipped vending machines. If you though AR was just for...

Droid passes 800,000 mark, sets 1,000,000 milestone in it’s sights?

Droid passes 800,000 mark, sets 1,000,000 milestone in it’s sights?

Could the Droid really be nearing the 1,000,000 unit mark? If data collected by RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Sue is to believed, the answer to that question is a resounding yet subdued “yes”. In the age of the multi-million selling iPhone, hitting the 7-digit sales mark doesn’t quite hold the significance or weight that it used to. Mind you, it’s still no small feat. While the latest iPhone 3GS sold over 1 million units in a weekend, you have...
