Moshi has a solution to that problem. The Zefyr 2 is a cooling fan that sits underneath the rear portion of the MacBook and blows air along the underside offering a dramatic temperature reduction.

Engadget reported about this uniquely designed solar charger, shaped like a bonsai tree, which retails for $370. On the surface, it seems like a great idea, but whether it is efficient (given it’s use is indoors, most indirect than direct sunlight), green (looks like it’s made of plastic), and cost effective (it’s expensive!) remains to be seen. Nonetheless, it’s a great looking design, if not the most practical.
Coincidentally, I previously bought and reviewed a solar charger from Ebay, made by a Taiwanese company, and cost $24 + shipping. Feel free to drop by the link below and check out my review of that (much more) portable unit, compared to the tree.

In addition to reading Kindle books on a Kindle (that statement was genius..), there are the Kindle apps for iPhone, Android, and pcs/macs. Now there’s a cloud based reading app that is integrated into your browser (Safari, Safari for iPad, and Chrome; I/E and Firefox to be released soon). Other than PDFs, purchased books will not reside on your local hard disk, but in the CLOUDS (insert heavenly music here). Check out some screen shots after the break:
