Should the apocalypse ever come where you won’t have any more power routed to your home, perhaps the Time Your Light concept would be very much welcome. After all, it relies on pent-up wind-up energy just like how a windup doll does. All you need to do to get some light is give it a twist, and hopefully the irritating ticking noise problem would have been solved by then. It begs the question of whether this is a timer with a light attached, or is it a mechanical light that functions just like a timer? Love the color scheme it comes in though.

Intel looks set to cut off ties with its energy efficient Intel Z Atom processors in the near future if they are going to see action in netbooks, although the company will still honor orders already made by netbook heavyweights such as Asustek, Acer and MSI. Intel hopes to make a complete end to the supply of the Z Atom CPUs before the year is over, as this would make their task of defining the netbook and MID segments easier by reserving these chips to see action in MIDs only. It would be interesting to see what happens to current models powered by the Z Atom processor though. What’s your take on this situation?

Strange to see this portable media player being named as the Window W26 Sorcerer’s Stone. There isn’t any listing of its specifications available online, but it sure as heck looks more conceptual than being a real device. Hopefully the real thing will come with a decent set of features, although we′re pretty sure there′s one thing this won’t do - that is, to give you eternal life.

Most spy photos are blurry for some reason or another, and this latest snapshot of the Motorola Shules is no exception. From here, we know that this will be a Verizon-branded device, where it seemingly comes equipped with a red D-pad to accompany the 3.7″ touchscreen display at 480 x 854 resolution, a 5-megapixel camera and a 3.5mm audio jack. Hopefully the Shules is able to do its bit in helping Motorola get back to the map as a major cellphone force.
