Solar Power Clothing Collection Charges Your USB Gear
Written by Editor on December 29th, 2010. Posted in Power for USB
Just last week, we reported on a solar panel which rotates with the sun to optimize charging time and power.  Today we bring you another method to recharge your life, but this time wearing clothes.  Silvr Lining is a start up clothing company which integrates solar panels into your every-day cloths.
The style Silvr Lining embraces is that of a casual fit #8211; as it would be difficult to integrate solar panels into a bikini or fitted top.
The company integrates several 6 x 8 panels into the outside of pocket panels so the lock blends with the style.
The solar panels are the right size to charge most any small USB gadget like MP3 player, phone or PDA device.  It also appears the pockets are big enough you might just fit that iPad which is so awkward to carry around.
The solar power pants from Silvr Lining run just under $300.  The company is based in Los Angeles and all cloths are made in the USA.  Not sure how fashion conscience you are, but if you are

Tilting Solar Panel for Your USB Gadgets
Written by Editor on December 24th, 2010. Posted in Power for USB, USB Prototype Design
In a concept design only, Eric Strebel and Jim Nogarian prototyped a solar panel which can rotate with the sun.  The case has three angles on the bottom, a flat surface for sunlight directly above around noon time, and two 45 degree angle for morning and afternoon sun.  It #8217;s a good idea #8230;I think.
After a little bit of research it appears the direct sunlight approach to solar is a thing of the past.  New technology allows diffused light to generate electricity through the solar panels and thus maximizes any solar panel even slightly exposed to sunlight.
Putting this information aside, The Solcar Vox does look like a fresh idea on charging your USB gadgets or other devices which charge via USB like the iPhone.
If you like the idea you can pre-order the prototype which is

Digital Camera is USB Hub by Samsung No Less
Written by Editor on December 21st, 2010. Posted in USB News, USB Prototype Design
Samsung is looking to put a new twist to the classic digital camera with multiple USB ports.  The idea is simple, once a picture is taken, the folks in the picture can turn over their thumb drives for a quick download of the picture just taken.
Not a bad idea considering most of us now have USB sticks in our pocket, car or computer bag.  I think the wifi SD card is a bit better of an idea, but this too will work.
The concept camera from Samsung has three female USB ports to accept mass storage devices [tech term for USB stick] and a male USB for connecting to a computer for downloading.

How To: Turn Off USB Auto Run in Windows 7
Written by Editor on December 10th, 2010. Posted in USB Tutorials
How to turn off autoplay Windows 7 for USB flash drives.
Some may want to turn off the USB auto play so that when a USB device is connected the auto pop-up window doesn #8217;t appear.  I don #8217;t mind the pop-up window as it usually defaults to the area or program I #8217;m trying to get into anyway, but for some, I could see the frustration.  So on that note, here is a quick USB tutorial on how to turn off the USB auto run function.
First, click START gt; RUN and type in gpedit.msc  then click RUN.
Next you #8217;ll want to navigate to the location shown below.  That would be:
Computer Configuration gt; Admin Templates gt; Windows Components  Once there you would double click Windows Components
That will take you to the following area where we can select the menu to edit the USB autorun functions.  Double click the AutoPlay Policies
Next select the Turn Off Autoplay by double clicking it.

US Military Bans USB Sticks As Result of Wikileaks
Written by Editor on December 10th, 2010. Posted in Flash Storage, USB News
Bradley Manning was able to download over a quarter million documents from the US government via USB slurping #8230;where by, he downloaded the sensitive data directly to his flash drive, then sent the docs to Wikileaks.
Not a cool move Private Manning.
So as a result, the US Military is banning all USB flash drives with systems connected to, or have access to, the SIPRNET network.  The Secret Internet Protocol Router Network, in simple terms, the internet used bye the DOD.  Of course it #8217;s much more sophisticated then your office network with internet access.
The US Government has taken this breach of information so seriously that any military who do not comply with the data transfer ban “may be punished under Article 92 of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice.” The article covers failure to obey orders and dereliction of duty and makes clear that any persons in violation of such rules “shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”
Like I said, not a cool move Manning.
