The Forever Flashlight uses no batteries or bulbs. Instead it uses Faraday’s Principle of Induction and a bright LED to produce light without batteries. The light is shaken for about 30 seconds to recharge a capacitor and it will then provide about 5 minutes of light. As the light is shaken, a magnet passes through a metal coil generating electricity. During prolonged use it can be shaken for 10-15 seconds every 2 or 3 minutes.

The light requires no maintenance so it can be left in your home or car for a longtime but will still be ready to produce light. The bright LED will last for thousands of hours and does not burn-out like a typical lightbulb - it should never need replacement.

Great features of the Forever Flashlight:

* Available in Regular, Medium or Micro-size
* Super bright blue/white LED
* Never needs batteries
* Never needs bulbs
* Waterproof
* Floats in water
* Visible for up to one mile
* Great for cars, boats, server rooms, and all emergency kits
* Dimensions: 11.25″ x 1.5″ dia. for Regular, 6.5″ x 1″ dia. for Micro
* Weight: 11.8 oz (335 grams) for Regular, 3.6 oz (102 grams) for Micro.

Available via ThinkGeek for $24.99.

This is Excellent! Google Adsense has rolled out some new cool features into the AdSense management interface, which will enable the publisher to change the parameters of the Adsense block right from within their own account without having to replace the code on the website. publishers can now also preview the look of the Ad in real time as they make any wanted changes, such as the colors and size. another option enables publisher to preview how the ad will actually look like on the site itself.

I have already tested and replaced the old codes on my site with the new, it may take about 10 minutes for the new code to implement, I have noticed though that the new code is smaller than the old one, which of course is great!

Overall, this is a excellent improvement and gives publishers more control and makes the process of managing their ads much easier, simpler and faster.

If you have recently upgraded your WordPress installation to 2.3+, you would have noticed that the new Dashboard in Wordpress 2.3 no longer displays incoming links via Technorati, but instead uses Google Blog Search! this would have be fine if it displayed incoming links to your site from other sites, however, this is not the case, since Google Blog Search displays your own posts as incoming links, which of course isn’t practical at all, and makes it very hard for you to track back who’s actually linking back to you.

For the time being, Technorati does a better job than Google blog search, Having said that, and to resolve this issue, you can download a plug-in created just for this purpose called Nusuni Technorati Links Wordpress plugin, which will completely replace the Google Blog Search feature with Technorati again.

Another nice feature about this plug-in is that you can configure the Blog URL so that if you have Wordpress installed at youdomain.com/blog, but you want to see all links coming to yourdomain.com, you can configure this option.
