POPSThe Do-Good Imperative How about a windup flashlight crossed with a cell phone charger? It's low tech meets high tech with rugged, toylike charm. Or charcoal made from plant waste instead of wood, developed for Haiti by MIT's D-Lab? Talk about a greener way to barbecue. (The technology might also help save endangered African gorillas. A new study published in Science links organized crime rings cutting trees for charcoal in Congo with a spate of recent gorilla murders.)

POPSHumble mouse turns 40 and loses its touch "The mouse now faces unprecedented competition. Laptops which make no use of a mouse are an increasingly popular alternative to desktop computers for workers on the move. Apple's popular iPhone and Nintendo's Wii have shown the potential for touchscreens and movement sensors. HP is pushing a mouse-less TouchSmart PC. Microsoft has invested millions of dollars in a coffee table-shaped 'Surface' computer which responds to natural hand gestures, touch and physical objects." And still it has done its job in making computers more accessible... happy birthday :-)

POPSApple computer All in all Apple computers are a lot more expensive than PCs and, when it comes to choose one, I’d rather go for a personal computer. It’s a lot more customable and, wtf, we want to play Crisis. LOL

POPSThe New iPhone is Here! The excitement about the new iPhone has caused the Apple Worldwide developer conference to sell out. This propeller feast is being over run by iPhone enthusiast, who are betting on the success of this second generation product. I waited until the last minute to get my tickets and I got locked out. So i did what anyone would have done and I checked ebay and nothing. Unfortunately, Apple has set up e-tickets, so you can not transfer tickets to someone outside of you company. I found a guy on craigslist selling a ticket for 2x the price. I will let you know if I strike a deal and whether Apple security gets me at the gate.
