Comics are Back

"Marvel Comics wants to port their comics to mobile phones. Seems like a perfect thing to read while you're supposed to be paying attention to what's going on around you, but not sure how you're going to get through full page spreads while maintaining text readability on 3-inch screens.
...View digital distribution of our comics as an area of great growth potential...and also soon in mobile distribution...so they can read our new comic books on their mobile device...
10,000 back issues for $5-$10 a month isn't something to complain about."


Solar Powered Shade
There have been many designs for solar panels, but none quite like these so-called VEIL Solar Shades from designer Büro North, which block out the sun's rays just as well as they capture it. In addition to being light enough for a child to turn on a swivel (they're designed specifically for schools), the shades would apparently also boast a pattern of LED lights on their undersides, which would indicate if they're in the optimal position to gather the maximum amount of solar energy. My guess is this will become pretty standard within the next few years.

Old-School Phones
Remember these? My pops had the Motorola back in the day, when he had the Alfa Romeo drop top...stuntin like he aint have no kids! Nah but it was OD brolic, and battery life lasted for an hour or two tops! This was back when cell phones were primarily used for emergency use only. Look how the times have changed...
