Popular Mechanic’s 10 Green Gadgets.

Looking for a special hit-tech gift for a special someone or yourself? Check out Popular Mechanic’s list of 10 eco-friendly gadgets (photos belong to them too):

1. Vers 2X iPod Dock with Speaker.

It’s wood veneer comes from sustainable plantation lumber. I doesn’t contain hazardous materials such as lead, cadmium and chemical-based adhesives. Packaging is made from recycled materials and is also recyclable. Best iPod speaker dock in the market.

2. Bedol Water-Powered Clock.

Runs on saltwater. Yeah, that’s right, and it can go weeks on a single fill. Big plus factor: it doesn’t look like a water clock science project.

3. Powerfilm Rollable Solar Charger.

This portable solar panel battery charge system can be rolled and stowed inside our bags. The more expensive models can power a laptop for half an hour for every hour of exposure to sunlight. Can be used as a battery charger for all our gadgets at home as well during clear days.

4. Husqvarna Automower Solar Hybrid.

The Husqvarna solar robot lawn mower is the RoboCop of lawns. It’s not a full solar-powered lawn mower but only get a boost of energy from the sun while mowing grass through its solar panels. Sorry but it is not available for Christmas, February of 2009 is close enough though.

5. Kill-A-Watt PS.

Being paranoid about our electrical consumption can benefit the environment. The Kill-A-Watt electronic usage monitor will help us keep a close watch on voltage, kilowatt-hours, and leakage current used by connected electronics and appliances.

6. Dell Studio Hybrid.

This green PC has an outer shell made of bamboo. Really cool! That’s only a start. It also requires less energy to run than most desktops, arrives in a recyclable package, comes with the recycling kit, and uses 75% less documentation (less paper). It’s sleek, vibrant look that shouts eco-chic is a bonus.

7. Fabrik [re]Drive.

The casing’s side panels are made of, yes, bamboo. Aside from that, it’s claim to green fame includes 90% less electicity than conventional hard-drives and enclosure is recycled aluminum.

8. Philips Eco TV.

Lead-free and flame-retardant construction. Packaging and manuals made from recycled materials. The kicker? The TV adjusts power consumption as the need arise, the darker the room, the less energy used. A dimmable backlight and power saver mode can drive its power consumption down to 75 watts.

9. Voltaic Generator Laptop Bag.

The fabric of this solar power charging bag is made entirely from recycled soda bottles. A day’s worth of sunlight can fully charge a 17 watt battery pack.

10. Nokia 3110 Evolve.

An eco-friendly phone? Nokia seems to have succeded in making one. The outer shell is made from unpainted bio-sourced materials that are 50 percent renewable. The AC charger beats Energy Star power usage standards by 95 percent and draws almost no electricity when the phone isn’t actually charging. Nokia made it perfectly usable as well with a web browser, e-mail client, camera, MP3 player and FM radio.

Safety belt for high-tech toys'

Save yourself the anxiety each time you answer a call with this innovative safety loop for your phone. Just insert a finger and hang on while you're talking. Same thing I do when I'm on a 900 number call.

Top 10 Valentine's Day Gadget Gifts for Gals

Every February, just as you get over dropping a wad of cash on Christmas, retailers unite to convince you to buy even more shit for other people. This time around, for the ones you want to have sex with. And if you think the mere act of buying something on or before the 14th is enough to get you laid, these gifts would beg to differ.
Myth: Women hate gadget gifts. Truth: We know (from experience, believe it or not) that isn't true. While the old adage about never giving a woman a gift that plugs in is generally good advice, it's more rooted in men thoughtlessly giving presents they like than the often-erroneous assumption that gals and gadgets don't mix. All you need to do is pair some thought with your tech toy, and you just might reach her On switch.
But where to start? That's where we come in. Guys, we've got 10 Valentine's Gifts for your sweetheart — from tech fashion to MP3 players made for romance — to help you navigate your way through this delicate obstacle course. Yes, buying gadgets for women can be done successfully. Yes, come with me.
10. Newman MP3 Players: Two Hearts Beat as One
Aw, look at this pair of little music players from Chinese manufacturer Newman. The two MP3 players can work perfectly apart, but put them together for the complete experience of … two MP3 players being near each other. Kinda like your relationship, no? Notice the two face silhouettes kissing each other as the two halves are brought together. Details are scarce, but the player supports MP3 and WMA audio formats, and their touching design operates by, you guessed it, touch-sensitive controls. You might want to keep this idea in mind for next year's Valentine's Day, because it's not quite available stateside just yet.

9. Your Face on Adam and Eve Artwork
History is rife with historical lovers, from Antony and Cleopatra to Romeo and Juliet to Mr. Miyagi and Daniel Laruso. Being immortalized with your lover as one of those couples probably seems like fun to someone in the theatre crowd, but even they might be hard pressed to find all that much romance in having their faces grafted onto Adam and Eve, a couple who probably did not have all that much hot, nasty sex with the face of an Old-Testament God scowling down at them all day.

8. Boobies Mouse Pad and Mini Red Love Heart Optical Laptop USB PC Computer Mouse
What you tell her: It's for you baby, to protect your wrists because of all that computer work you do.
Why it's for you: I love seeing you fondle another woman's boobs, even if it's a fake, rubberized woman.

7. Chocolate-Dipped Jalapenos
They say a woman's brain responds to chocolate very much the same way it does to sex, so clearly chocolate is the kind of gift you want to use to get her brain in the right place. But regular chocolate is for chumps. These chocolate jalapenos tell your girl "I think you need to pack on a few pounds, then spend a few hours on the shitter getting rid of it again." Romance may be dead but burning squirts are timeless.

6. Fiber-Optic Halter: Moral Fiber
Check out this halter top with fiber optic light running all through it. The $150 shirt's lighting can shine for 12 hours on a set of three AAA batteries, and it runs as cool as your lady is hot while she's wearing it. The low-voltage light strands are barely visible by day, but get her in a dimly-lit atmosphere and watch her light up the night. You can't fold these shirts, but after a smoky, sweaty night out on the town they are thankfully hand-washable. The tech is available in a variety of styles and colors, and there's even a muscle shirt for guys. [Source]

1. Jib Jab Striptease Video
Here's a Valentine's Day gift that won't cost you a thing, but you might want to back it up with some candy or at least a card: a special (but tame) Valentine's Day striptease video from Jib Jab. You remember these clowns, don't you, the ones who lampooned both Bush and Kerry with that viral video in the '04 campaign? This goof electro-magically keys your face on a guy stripping for his mate (whose face you also supply — be sure to include the right gal's pic), something that you might be able to do in person, but this might go over better because it's not even supposed to be sexy. Might be good for a chuckle or two, and ladies, you can be the star of your own striptease, too.

Here we present you with 8 gift ideas for your loved ones.

1.Doctor Rabbit Web Cam: perfect graduation gift 2. Bird Shaped Wireless Doorbell
Wondering what to gift your best friend when he/she graduates from med school this year? Look no more, the perfect gift is right here. Heck, you can even give it as a gift to any friend who is graduating this year. Its probably one of the most innovative and unique idea for a graduation gift and that is what sets it apart. The old fashioned ding dong doorbell looks a little boring now, now take a look at this Bird Shaped Wireless Doorbell. The sound of birds chirping is also rather relaxing, and won't startle you whenever someone is at the door.


3. Even cell phones need a hug sometimes 4. Cute Green Desk Cool Fan with 4 Port USB Hub
You can feel safe because Big Hug’s soft rubber hands won’t scratch your phone, he just wants to give your phone a love hug because Big Hug loves your phone. Any halfway dedicated nerd already owns at least one desk fan that's either USB-powered or features some sort of dual purpose, but if you're a budding star in the kingdom, this might be the one to get you going.


5. Ramen Coin Saving Box 6. Desktop Catch All Desk Accessory Gag Gift
Fantastic gift idea! This funny Cup Noodle Money Coin Saving Bank Box is ceramic and stands approx. 10.7cm tall. Helps you collect coin together day by day! It is not only a good collection on the desk but also can help your children to form a good habit saving money. His started off being just a gag gift for a co-worker but everyone is wanting a butt station! A fun art deco desk accessory that includes a pen holder, tape dispenser, memo/card holder, paperclip holder and just a great conversation piece all in one!


7. LadyBug Card Reader and Money Detector 8.Oscar Worthy Gadgets: Juno's Hamburger Phone
The LadyBug is a uniquely design like ladybug multi-functional USB device integrated with a memory Micro SD Card Reader and a ultra voilet (UV) light for detecting fraudulent money. The ladybug can also be used as a USB drive with a storeage capacity of 4GB, it is also a charger and is also USB data cable with a top speed of 480Mbps. I'm beyond excited that Juno got nominated for so many Oscars, including Best Picture, because it was one of my favorite movies of 2007. The awesome music, the whip-smart dialogue, and the hipster-geek coupling of Michael Cera and Ellen Page? Perfect. And we all know what was my favorite part of the movie, and it must have been yours too because I've seen it brought up in comments, and all over Buzz and Yum: Juno's hamburger phone!
