If you have an area that you could really use just a normal clock, you might as well make it an eco-friendly one.  Sure, you could just hang a battery powered wall clock just as easily, but then you’re stuck buying batteries.  With this all you have to do is remember to refill it with water and thankfully you don’t even have to do that very often.  These clocks would be great to sit on a desk or tabletop to make it easier to keep track of the time.

The water in the can will actually last between 6 to 12 months before you need to add water to the clock.  Which means the clock won’t really take any more maintenance than a normal clock with batteries would.  Plus, since it doesn’t require batteries it’ll also run cheaper than the rest.  When you combine the fact that it runs cheaply with it being a cheap clock to begin with, it makes it an ideal arrangement.  You can purchase it for £9.99 or about $16 through Green Stamp.

Just when you thought that the worldwide economy has started to recover and people would be careful about their spending, along comes the $3.2 million iPhone 3GS Supreme from Goldstriker. Taking 10 months to create, it was commissioned by an “Australian gold mining magnate” – someone who clearly has tons of cash but unfortunately for him, cannot afford any good taste in fashion. The iPhone 3GS Supreme tops all phone prices in the world, coming in a 22K solid gold casing, featturing 136 diamonds that adorn the front bezel. As for its rear logo, it boasts 53 flawless diamonds while the front navigation button holds an extremely rare diamond at 7.1 cts.

gadget.Worlds Smallest mp3 player

Which is the smallest MP3 player that you’ve come across? Most people would say the iPod shuffle, while others will rememeber of the MobiBLU Cube fondly. Well, the Micro Sport Japanese MP3 Player clearly lives up to its name, redefining the word “tiny” and bringing it to new heights (or should we say, size?)

The Micro Sport Player is two sugar cubes worth of electronics into which somehow is crammed 4GB of memory and a rechargeable battery. Amazingly this tiny player features full stereo sound. One earbud is attached directly to the side of the main unit, while the other earbud trails on a cord around the back of your head, just reaching the opposite ear. Loading music is incredibly easy. Simply plug the Micro Sport into the USB port of your computer. It mounts like a USB thumb drive, and you simply copy over any MP3 files you want to play.

ThinkGeek is carrying it for $89.99 – pretty hefty price considering the paltry amount of storage space that you get, but at least you know your money went into the miniaturization of things.
