Here’s a really neat idea, a solar powered fridge for camels so you can keep all your drinks while traveling with the Camel. This was actually primarily for transporting vaccines in the hot desert areas but heck, I’d use it to cool my beer too.

In transit, the lightweight, foldable solar panel powers the camel-pack refrigeration system. Once the camel convoy arrives at the remote health clinic site, the panel can be used in combination with larger solar panels to provide power for the health clinic. A foot-powered system provides backup and provides light in the clinic during extended operational hours when solar power is not available.

Jason Calacanis told CNET's Nate Lanxon that "he knew first-hand that Apple was working on a networked television." From Nate's blog:

These LCD HDTVs will be fully networked, with the ability to stream all your iTunes content from your Mac or PC. In fact, Calacanis told me they'll function like a standard TV with an Apple TV box, only without the need for the box. In many ways, this isn't surprising news, as Apple already produces a stunning 30-inch display for the Mac. So picture that -- only thinner -- in a bedroom, streaming iTunes movie rentals over 802.11n, controlled with the Remote app on an iPod touch or iPhone.

To which I have nothing to add, except that televisions with web/content browsers in them are obviously the future.

Development in technology has helped in development of modern inset, outset electric fires. It’s now even possible to have wall-mounted gas fires and electric fires in homes. Different designs are available to meet different designs of homes. Some electric fire products use touch technology for operations whereas some are operated with the help of remote controls. Safe and effective heaters have been produced for providing heat. In addition to all these, effective heat delivery systems are used so as to maximize the performance.

Having a fireplace in home also increases the beauty of the home. Different stone effect fireplaces are available in different styles so as to suite any home. An interesting category of gas fire products is known by the name of hole in the wall fires. These can be mounted easily on the walls and don’t require any sort of modifications for their operation. The easy of operation is another advantage of modern gas and electric fires. High quality designs bundled with advanced technologies adds that extra beauty touch to your home.

Now, if you’re wondering where to look for high-quality gas and electric fires then you’d happy to know that you can find and purchase high-quality insets, outsets with the help of the Internet. Several online stores offer a large collection of gas fires. HotPrice, for one, is a well-known retailer of gas fires and electric fires. They have an extensive range of high-quality products from different manufacturers. So, if you want to add that extra punch to your home then you should definitely consider gas fires and electric fires as they can easily help you to make your house stand out of the crowd.

Still, while the future is looking as bright as ever, the present is still a bit scrunched up. Peter Pachal investigates why the tech industry just can't seem to nail down proper aspect ratios.

Jeff Sharkey — winner of the $275k Android Developer Challenge — has already managed to reverse engineer one of the iPhone's most killer apps and release it for the Android platform. This raises the G1 up a notch in my appraisal; in my musically-networked apartment, Remote.app is actually a far more wonderful creation than the iPhone itself. I could easily see myself switching to another phone, as long as it had that.

It’s an ingenious solution to getting them from point A to point B intact. When refrigeration isn’t needed, the solar system even provides lighting at the clinic. It’s win/win. Despite being in the desert, the sun doesn’t always shine and for those times they have a foot-powered generator.
