Mainstream gadgets are too small or consume too little electricity to warrant development for greener solutions.

Personally, I liked the Gravia lamp best. And that one woman adding commentary was really bitchy.

Well, that sucked. That wasn't a contest it was just a self-promotion event. Clap-O-meter? That shows you how much they really cared about the whole thing.

Agreed, it doesn't get any greener than something powered on gravity. The EnerJar idea also already exists (see AndyStitzer's comment).
