iTech SolarVoice 908 - Solar Rechargeable Bluetooth Headset
The SolarVoice 908 is one of the first Bluetooth headsets to be equipped with a photovoltaic charging panel that covers its front side.
Although there is also a port on the side of the headset for a wall charger, this headset can be charged with just the sun.

"Jail broken" iPhones hacked by new virus
"Jail broken" iPhones hacked by new virus
Hackers have built a virus that attacks Apple Inc's iPhone by secretly taking control of the devices via their Internet connections, security experts said.
The virus has been detected in the Netherlands and can only attack iPhones whose users have disabled some pre-installed security features, according to analysts monitoring the progress of the virus.
The hackers are trying to use the virus to obtain passwords to banking sites, according to Graham Cluley, a researcher with anti-virus software maker Sophos. When an iPhone user tries to access a bank website, the Duh Worm directs the browser to a look-a-like site controlled by the hackers, Cluley said.

Google PC will start in seven seconds or less
New Google Inc software will start up a computer as fast as a television, the search company said on Thursday as it showed off its Chrome operating system designed for computers that do their work on the Web.
Google gave the world the first peek at its Chrome OS four months after declaring its intention of developing the PC's main software, a move that pits it directly against Microsoft Corp and Apple Inc.
True to Google's Internet-pedigree, the Chrome OS resembles a Web browser more than it does a traditional computer operating system like Microsoft Windows, matching Google's ambition to drive people to the Web -- where they can see Google ads.
