There is nothing quite like a globe to teach your little one some geography as he/she grows up, and here’s a globe that might just be your cup of tea. After all, it is no ordinary globe, being solar powered to keep it perpetually rotating, hence the name Perpetually Rotating Solar Globe . Developed by a team of physicists, this is the globe that harnesses light and the earth’s magnetic pull to rotate continuously, without cords, batteries, or human intervention

This is the flashlight to have around if you’re heavily paranoid about running out of juice and being left in the dark.  It does things a bit different than your average flashlight, it doesn’t even contain batteries.  It’ll make sure that you always have a bright light to see your way and does it in an eco-friendly manner.  Sadly there is one serious downfall with this flashlight, it comes at a high price.  Then again, all devices featuring new and cutting edge technology do seem to be that way. This flashlight uses an energy management system that’s called Flashpoint Power Technology.  It uses environmentally friendly ultracapacitors.  Those ultracapacitors work together with a revolutionary form of computer circuitry to manage how the energy is put into the flashlight.  Those ultracpaictors also manage to unload energy without a chemical reaction like batteries would.  The bulbs never need replaced and the flashlight only takes 90 seconds to recharge.  For such a simple gadget it uses much more sophisticated technology than one is used to seeing in a flashlight.  Which is probably why this flashlight is priced at $169 .

The Battery Wizard promises it can recharge even disposable batteries. Although initially more expensive, the advantage of rechargeable batteries has always been that they cut down on buying more batteries and they cut down on depleted batteries clogging our landfills.

This case is definitely for those of you out there that like to keep things nice and minimal while still giving your iPhone at least a little protection.  It also would work great for those of you that spent every last cent you owned on your precious new iPhone and seem to be running short on funds.  No matter what the reason, now you can own an extremely affordable iPhone case to keep your iPhone nice and safe. Don’t worry, not only is the case affordable, it’s made out of 100% recycled cardboard.  It also won’t catch on fire, that is unless you light it on fire and of course will make you awesome according to case-mate.  It sadly has no screen protector, but it will last forever, that is as long as you don’t destroy it.  You can make the choice to purchase these individually or in bundles of 10, just in case you happen to get one or two wet you’d have back ups.  You can purchase them individually for $0.99 or 10 for $7.99 .
