solar table
Of all the solar powered gadgets we've shown you recently, I'd have to say this is the most elegant. The Intelligent Forms SOLo is a lounge table (can we call it a coffee table?) and is simply designed to soak up the sun, turning it into stored power so you can charge your gear. Apparently left for a year in a "typical outdoor setting," it can store enough power in its internal batteries to charge up your cellphone 6,800 times or your laptop 168 times. Its got USB sockets, a car-style 12V socket and even a standard 3-pin mains plug, and the whole thing is weatherproof.

Irony: Boba Fett Cast In Carbonite (Well, Bronze) For the Wanton Pleasure of Others
An artist named Scott recently cast a Boba Fett PEZ dispenser in bronze using the lost-wax process, and ended up (I think accidentally) giving it a "battle scar" that would make George Lucas proud. It's haunting, seeing that lifeless helmet stare out at the world, moving only when the cruel and greedy snap back its neck for a tasty treat. It may be a fate better than the Sarlacc pit, but it's an irony that I'm sure would tickle Han Solo. [Geekologie]

Hate doing your taxes? Balancing your checkbook? Grinding for loot in World of Warcraft? Just take a look at Han's face to know that someone has it even worse than you. As painful as it is to look through all your receipts from the last year, it's much worse to have all the cells in your body lowered to such a temperature that you make that face. You know the one. If you want one of these desks, and we bet you do, you'll have to ask Tom Spina Designs to create one for you. Money will be involved. [Therpf via Boing Boing]

More Sling Player Upgrades Coming
Pogue reviews the Slingbox Solo, but the news is that the Sling Client is getting an upgrade in the shape of local pause and rewind controls. That's cool because you don't have to deal with the stream delay while trying to rewind or pause the TiVo back home remotely. More »

Sling Media rolled out Slingbox Solo, a set-top box that lets you watch a home-bound HD source from anywhere in the world on a PC, Mac, Palm OS or Symbian mobile device. It's called "Solo" because it controls just one set-top box, instead of the four of its more-expensive Slingbox Pro brandmate.

IPEVO Skypes Out a Trio of Handsets
IPEVO, whose minimalist Free-1 USB handset made it stupidly simple to make SkypeOut calls, just dialed us up and announced three new products for CES. The Solo.1 (above) is a Skype certified phone that doesn't need the computer—it's an IP phone with a 2-port 10/100Mbps Ethernet switch. The 2.4-inch color screen has the usual Skype interface along with a way to look at your remaining credits, and a speaker phone function. It's available in March for $170. More »

Maverick Solo Jet: Fastest Personal Flyer, Plus Jets We Love
We're going to have to cancel our order for that Piper Jet we were raving about, because now it's been trumped by the $1.25 million Maverick Solo Jet, the world's fastest tin can in the air for mere mortals, zipping along at a 472-knot clip. For the rest of us, that's a speedy 543mph, or Mach .82 for the gearheads. More »

"Man, it's like a sauna in here." You'll be making this hilarious joke to yourself on a daily basis while engulfed in the Solo personal sauna. This is essentially a tube-like tent that will get all hot and frothy so you can sweat away all of that negative karma you received from a hooker earlier in the day. The Solo personal sauna can operate for up to 12 hours at a time if you need to get rid of a lot of negative karma from a particularly dirty hooker. More »

Intel's Next Trick: Quad Core Processors
On the heels of Intel's release of its Xeon 5100 dual-core processors, more information has surfaced about Intel's next-generation quad core processors due in the first quarter of 2007. The four-way processors, called "Clovertown" for servers and "Kentsfield" for desktops, are said to be power-hungry, sucking up 110 watts of power compared to the 80 watts of those Xeon 5100 processors announced earlier this week.

PC Consumes 8.5 Watts, Has No Moving Parts
Nigerians have been so busy trying to introduce everyone on the Internet to the son of the late president of that war-torn country who needs you to help him move US$21,320,000 million out of the country, they've had little time for anything else. But instead of giving it away, someone has taken that boatload of cash and decided to put together the Solo Computer, a roughly-hewn prototype of a power-sipping PC with no moving parts that needs just 8.5 watts of solar power to run. That's a fraction of the roughly 300 watts sucked up by garden-variety PCs here in the energy-wasting First World. More »
