If you’re a coffee addict, then you’ve gone through your fair shar of disposable coffee cups. Now instead of trashing them constantly and contributing to the local dump’s size, you can use those cups to add a little bit of lighting in your home. Then after the project is finished you’ll have a very modern looking disco ball. To get one you’ll just have to follow the Instructables tutorial and make your own.

They suggest using the plain cheap coffee cups that you see most often in order to construct the light. You’ll actually need a grand total of 300 of the cups. Technically the creator caved and just bought the cups, but recycling would work just as well. You”ll also need a stapler, electric wire with socket, energy efficient lamp, pinbolds, big washer, small washer, a heatsource and a sharp metal pen. All together none of that should cost you a whole lot of money.

Oasis Solar Stainless Steel Lantern

Posted: 09 May 2010 01:15 PM PDT

When you’re out camping it just kills the mood entirely to refill your gadgets with new batteries. It’s way better if you can manage to go without changing batteries or plugging things in. This solar lantern will allow for you to keep your light source juiced and working all night long. Of course it looks like something you’d find at space camp instead of a camp in the middle of the woods, but at least you’ll be battery-free.

The lantern has a high and low emergency flashing mode, high/low solar rechargeable automatic panel opening and an LED light. It also has an emergency function, plus it’s made out of stainless steel and ABS construction. In order to reach a full charge it’ll take 12-24 hours through the panel, or you can use the included AC adapter. When you pick this up you’ll also get a small umbrella thrown in. To get the set it’ll cost you $99.99 through Amazon.

The Fame Monster Lady Gaga USB Drive

Posted: 09 May 2010 12:23 PM PDT

Buying a CD is one thing that’s not done a whole lot anymore. You either buy something through iTunes or you find other ways to "acquire" the songs you want. Well if you’re a serious Lady Gaga fan, now you can pick up a flash drive packed full of songs already. Plus it has a few other things to keep fans of her music very happy.

It has all of the songs off of The Fame Monster, then several different remixes of other songs. You’ll also get music videos, a digital booklet, single covers, a photo gallery and website links. The drive appears to be made in the image of Lady Gaga. You can purchase one of these for $49 and have a USB drive to use time and time again. Although they don’t exactly state the size of the drive.

Rocket brings some rock and roll to your home

Posted: 09 May 2010 10:45 AM PDT

Want to spruce up your home as though it was an extension of Hard Rock Hotel? You might want to consider Rocket then, a new Italian brand that is dedicated to making quirky furniture which will definitely appeal to those of you who have rockstar aspirations. Gotta love the neat guitar-styled table that you see here, although you and the missus would have to be of the same mind if you were to get this purchase approved. A guitar-shaped coffee table isn’t all that’s available, as you can choose from cool headphones-inspired napkin holders and mixer clothes hooks among others.

The eBook Light offers a brilliant yet warm glow for comfortable reading, where there is a trio of powerful LED lights which are capable of casting the same illumination as six regular LEDs. You get to choose from two brightness settings in order to optimize your environment's lighting, while being able to take advantage of its adjustable arm to position in almost any angle.

Borders to carry Kobo eReader

Posted: 07 May 2010 06:00 PM PDT

eBook readers seem to be all the rage these days, but it has yet to catch on in a big way across all sections of the population simply because it is still too expensive for those living in developing countries, while there are many different formats out there for users to consider before making a purchase. Well, this has not stopped the iPad from doing gangbusters in terms of sales, with the Amazon Kindle also being another contender to worry about if one is going to enter the market (granted, the iPad is not an eBook reader per se, but it does carry the ability to read downloaded copies of your favorite tomes). Borders, the mega bookstore chain, will dip their toes in the market by taking pre-orders for the Kobo eReader while debuting its eBook store and apps powered by Kobo from next month onwards in order to keep up with the times. Guess they know that selling books alone with some accessories and media on the side isn’t going to cut the mustard any more, and hence has embarked on a strategy that will provide rich digital content and a wide variety of devices that feature emerging technologies. Another advantage that is has is being a device-neutral, rich-content provider, letting them sell the Kobo eReader alongside a range of other eReading devices in Borders stores in special digital shops called Area-e which will roll out this August.

You will be able to place pre-orders for the Kobo eReader which currently showcases the Borders branded eBook store at www.borders.com/koboereader. Just to get an idea on how the Kobo eReader stacks up against its immediate rival, Wired Magazine has touted it as “the real Kindle killer” due to its attractive features and low price of just $149.99, making it one of the most affordable eReaders available. Guess decent hardware coupled with a great content delivery system (which hopefully is what Borders can offer) will make this a great device, eh? After all, each purchase will get you started right out of the box since the Kobo eReader will come preloaded with 100 classic books, arriving at your doorsteps from June 17th onwards, just in time for Father’s Day if you were wondering what to get dad on that day.

The upcoming Borders eBook store will boast more than a million titles, making this a truly exciting time to be in as customers look set to be spoilt for choice. Which camp will you side?
