MacBook Air

Just revealed yesterday at MacWorld in SanFrancisco by Steve Jobs, the new Macbook Air laptop is the thinest laptop on the market, and is part of a step forward in eco-friendly technology. The Air features an recyclable aluminum case (not made of recycled, but someday?), and a mercury- and arsenic-free glass display. The circuit boards are BFR free and PVC free. And due to the economical feel of its design, the packaging has about 50% less volume than the regular MacBook.

Jobs said Apple planned to introduce in 2007 its first displays using arsenic-free glass, but I guess January 2008 is better late than never. By the end of 2008, Apple says it plans to completely eliminate the use of PVC and BFRs in its products.

Recycled Memory Card Holder

With countless phones, cameras, GPS devices and mp3 players, everyone has way too many memory cards just floating around. As a photographer I'm constantly finding cards laying around the house, and have lost a good number along the way. Tom Kenworthy's newly designed Memory Card Holder is one possible solution to your memory card woes.

Made out of recycled plastic cups (seriously), Kenworthy's 3 tiered designed holder looks great. It carries 8 different memory cards in a cool looking slide-out design. It takes only 7 plastic cups to made the holder, and its a great way to keep your cards in one place.

There is no price yet, nor place to buy, but its coming. I'm just hoping they make ones with your choice of card because I have way more CompactFlash cards than anything.
