A simple initiative in the Philippines is bringing a bit of brightness into the lives of the country’s poorest people.
The project is called “Litre of Light”, and the technology involved is just a plastic bottle filled with water.
It’s an environmentally-friendly alternative to an electric light bulb, and it’s virtually free.
Days before the October 4th launch of the new iPhone 5 leaked pictures of a hard-shell case have leaked onto the web showing a more detailed image of the latest iPhones form factor. They really know how to make a geek wet don’t they…
iPod Ninja
Cupertino, CA — Well, that’s a relief. It turns out that Steve Jobs isn’t a secret ninja after all.
We now know that those ninja stars found in Steve’s bag at Japan’s Kansai International Airport were actually top-secret Apple prototypes.
Today Apple announced the “dangerously cool” iPod ninja, the last of the new 2010 iPod family. This razor-thin iPod combines the fun of entertainment with the thrill of lethal weaponry. And it’s super-easy to buy.
All you have to do is show a photo ID, fill out a form, then wait three days for approval by the National Criminal Background Check system.
“iPod ninja fits into that sweet spot between the iPod touch and a small handgun,” says Apple spokesperson Ted Wetmore. “It gives you peace of mind. You can either enjoy your music on the device — or you can fling it at anyone who looks at you funny. With a little practice, you can take down a foe at 50 feet.”
However, there is a dark side to the new iPod. As iPod ninja sales boom, some blogs are already reporting a “death grip” problem even worse than the one that plagued iPhone 4. If you hold iPod ninja in a certain way, you may require immediate medical care.
“There is a learning curve,” admits Mr. Berry, “and Apple does recommend the use of a protective case.”
With first-day sales of iPod ninja exceeding estimates, some analysts speculate that Apple is already at work on more weaponized iPods. Next up: iPod taser?

A cracking plugin for iTunes users.
We’ve all seen it, a music library missing track names, artists, album names, album covers and not looking too great. What TuneUp does is, after dragging the songs you want fixed into the sidebar, it searches through its databases and gives you an accurate listing of the track name, album, track number, cover art, artist, everything! then simply save the ones you want to keep and your music library now looks like it have been looked after since day one. Magic.
Plus you can do this 100 times for Free!
