Dell has been offering 24-inch and large LCDs for computers for a long time now. The company has added a new 24-inch LCD to its line called the G2410H 24-inch WLED monitor. The screen features an ambient light sensor for adjusting brightness energy saving modes, and needs under 0.15W of power in sleep mode when using the VGA input.
I am all for lots of research into battery technology. The better the batteries we can get in our phones and laptops, the longer we can go between charges. Last week Nokia filed a patent app for a batteyr that uses kinetic energy to recharge itself.

My mom has gobs of pictures that she took when I was a kid. The original prints are starting to get yellow as the years go by, but she has all the negatives.

Steampunk designers make some cool stuff that often looks modern and old at the same time. One of the coolest steampunk designs we have seen in a while was that steampunk Professor X wheelchair that turned up last week.

The theory of the device sounded good and both NVIDIA and ATI were doing something similar with GPGPUs at the time.

Just about every major TV maker in the industry is getting 3D TVs ready. Many of the largest electronics companies are counting on 3D TV to drive significant sales and profits in 2010.

For instance, the Panasonic 3D Home theater system that went on sale in select Best Buy stores last week uses active glasses.
Over the last few weeks, there have been several new solar chargers for the iPhone that have turned up. The last one I mentioned was the Novothink Solar Surge, which looked pretty darn cool to me. Today we find another solar charger making the rounds for the iPhone and other iPod devices.
