  • martage, on 07/20/2009, -0/+11Having the title not match what was presented just set me off. I was so infuriated that I murdered my entire family and now I will do so myself. Farewell xoxoxoxo

  • scy1192, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4I expected the staple of Lifehacker lists, Firefox, to be on here
  • hellengineer, on 07/19/2009, -1/+3actually I've tried almost all of these. Some of these went pretty well but nothing, except a solar cooker, were usable after a couple of days. But sun is the answer for our energy woes.

    Don't expect a solar panel sitting behind your window to generate anywhere its rated power. Also, don't expect any normal consumer electronics left outside in the sun and the elements to last long. Your best bet is the solar panel optside in the sun and everything else inside. But honestly, why bother when you can just charge your device for free at work?
