The last time I bought a hand winding / crankable flashlight torch, it didn’t offer much in the way of solar charging or mobile phone charging ports. However this hand winding solar LED lantern does all that.
This solar LED lantern doesn’t require any batteries, perfect for those who care about the environment. Equipped with solar panels, a full charge takes about six hours, while it does offer various LED modes, we’re concerned about how long its charge will last. For those interested in charging mobile phones using it, an additional $5 will get you its connector kit which charges major phone maker brands.
For those who didn’t hear about this late last week, it looks like T-Mobile of Austria ran into abit of problem with their site and resulted in giving its visitors a few minutes glimpse of the next generation iPhone.

Claims have arised from a group of Australian scientists that they have come up with a way so that up to a whooping 10TB of data can be stored on a single disc. The team from Swinburne University of Technology, Australia, have successfully added “the dimensions of colour and light polarization” to our already existing technology in DVDs giving it massive boost to its maximum storage capacity.
These new discs will be capable of storing 10,000 times more data than our current DVDs, so far they have already been able to achieve 1.6TB discs and these could be on sale through Samsung within the next five years, as a deal has already been snatched. In addition to that, 10 TB will eventually be possible but we’ll need to look further ahead - next ten years.
