wind power
(Photo by Steve Morse)Not to be outdone by those crazy Danish bastards out on the isle of Samso, Science Daily reports an equally crazy group of Missourian bastards in Rock Port now generate all their electricity using wind turbines. Rock Port went completely wind-powered last week, making use of the 75 wind turbines spread out across three Missouri counties, and local experts are excited about the potential for wind power throughout the state. However, PopSci thinks it won't be so easy to make this a widespread trend in the US.

Brando 3-Way USB Hub Doesn't Need Power Brick
See those two USB plugs on this hub gizmo from Brando? They're what makes this thing a little bit neat, even if its looks aren't anything special. Most USB hubs need to draw energy from a power brick if you're going to load them up with much more than a memory stick and charge up a gadget. But this one plugs into two USB ports on your PC for more juice, so you can connect up to three different devices and charge or sync your phone or camera at the same time via the mini-USB connector. It's available now for $12. [Brando]

Keyport Update: Refunds Issued, But They're Keeping Your Keys
Now we're not sure what's going on with Keyport now. Two weeks ago they managed to ship a unit to NOTCOT to fool around with, but apparently there's SOMETHING going on in the manufacturing process that makes it unsuitable for shipping it out to paying customers. Keyport told Josh five months after he paid and shipped them his keys that they were going to refund his money, but keep his keys. Wha? More »

Four-Port USB Car Charger Has Your Gadgets Covered
I've heard of two-port USB car chargers, but a four-port charger? That's two more gadgets, baby! Indeed, it makes complete sense to pick one of these up given the fact that many of our favorite gadgets can be charged via USB these days. And you really can't go wrong for only $12.

Brando USB Hub has Multicolor Moodlight For Desktop Cheeriness
I nearly labelled this four-port USB hub with digital alarm and seven-colour moodlight "just another boring Brando USB gadget." But on second thought, I decided I actually like it: if you're going to have a USB hub on your desk, why not combine it with some multicolored LED goodness? Brighten up your dreary cubicle with some rainbow ambience, that's what I say! Okay, the clock part is dumb, since who has a PC that doesn't already display the time? But we can overlook that design error, can't we Brando-fans? This 3 x 3 x 1 inch wonder is available for $16. [Geekalerts]

Keyport Production Video Shows Why It's Great For Motorcycles
The $295 Keyport that allows you to combine six keys into one slick-looking device is near the Optimus Keyboard on the scale of totally overpriced things we would really love to have. Their production videos show you at least part of what your three hundred bones go toward: manufacturing. A machine that urinates water onto key slides doesn't come cheap. More »

Toshiba's UWB Wireless Laptop Dock
Hot on the heels of the wireless USB devices that hit this week is this ultra wide band port replicator dock for its slim R400. It has two USB ports on the front, two on the back, minijack audio out, Ethernet, and a DVI output. It uses UWB to hit 400mbits across all those ports. It's $500, and again, only compatible with the Toshiba R400 laptop. More »

Keyport Eliminates Pocket Jingle
Getting more and more keys to put on your keychain when you were a kid may have been cool, but now all that massive clump of metal does is give your pants that unwanted bulge look (as opposed to the wanted bulge look). With the keyport, you're free to shove six of your favorite keys into what looks to be a lighter-sized gadget, easily extending and retracting them when needed. Plus, there's RFID and a built-in LED light, as well as keyless entry for your car. More »

Sony Allows You to Watch the Arsenal Game, While at the Game
Sony is developing a system that will allow Arsenal fans the opportunity to watch replays and statistics live on a PSP while at the game. The system is called S.PORT and will be rolled out later this year on a trial basis for 4,000 fans. There is a lot of potential for this system, especially if they expand to other sports and allow other devices, not just the PSP, to view the wireless steams of replays and statistics. Cool system, Sony. Just don't screw it up, please. I really need a reason to use my PSP. More »

7-Port USB Hub Gives You 3 More Ports Than Usual
Why settle for the four-port USB hubs littering up the component section of your local Fry's when you can grab a 7-port hub for the same price. Brando has a $26 7-port powered USB hub available now, which means if you buy two, you're never going to run out of ports for all the crazy USB gadgets we feature here. Of course, it's no 16-port hub, but this doesn't look like something from the early '80s. More »
