    I'm sooo getting one. My telco is hosing me!

    My wife needed a land line for 3 months so she called and had them hook it up. Called to cancel the other day and they say we cant cause we signed up for a 1 Frackin Year Contract! WTF? Since when do land lines have contracts? Was news to both of us. So it's either pay $250 to get out or keep it for another 9months....f'n bastards Frontier sobs! #telephonelinepoweredlamp

    As news of this lamp spread around the blogosphere, John McCain began drafting legislation to deal with these "electricity pirates".

    How are electricity companies, who provide power for your television, stereo, embedded household lights, kitchen appliances, and cell phones supposed to compete when people are powering their lamps for free from the telco industries? Not to mention that AT&T and Verizon are now footing the bill for this tiny lamp. Outrageous! #telephonelinepoweredlamp

    Interesting idea, but why not have a phone with it too. I still use a landline (VOIP) and actually have phones in all my jacks. #telephonelinepoweredlamp

    @Curves: I agree that they should have an alternate version with a phone. Perhaps it doesn't put off enough power for you to talk and have the light on.

    Also you could use a phone splitter:

    Hey, with fewer people using landlines these days, may as well do SOMETHING with those empty sockets.

    Anyone know if phone lines carry enough current to power USB devices?

    Edit: Hey, looks like someone already did:

    There's a market for that. I'd buy one. Beats taking up a wall socket with a silly phone charger.

    Edit again: Yahoo Answers informs me it will take a ridiculous amount of time to charge things. [answers.yahoo.com]

    God damnit this is a good idea. As a designer, most of my work doesn't require a massive light table but something smaller like this would do the trick.

    In reply to Desk Lamp Rotates To Become a Light Box For Artists
    I will say, it looks interesting, but as an artist myself, I'd probably want a more dedicated space with probably more surface area (admittedly there's no real sense of scale of the model depicted) for designs on and have the lamp separately, as I'd also want my workspace to have a nearby light source constantly lit as I'm at work.
