I always hope that the next year, it’ll be bigger as more companies creating greener innovations sign on to show off their wares. However, this year it seems to be even smaller than last year, with barely any booths at all. Maybe it’s time for the Sustainable Planet Zone to disappear altogether. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Ten One Design aims to remedy this legitimate complaint with its Fling joystick add-ons for the iPad. The product is simple enough, a twisted piece of plastic with capacitive contact points in the center and suction cups to stick it to the screen. They feel quite like the joysticks on a PSP, and make gaming on the device seriously more enjoyable — not to mention natural feeling — and other than that there’s not much else to say. Oh wait, did we mention they cost $25… each? Yeah, total buzzkill.

Day after day he says things that are so unseemly that I wonder if we could get a Congressional censoreship on his remarks so they can be stricken from our ears because they are hazzarise to our health. In his latest transgression, he uses babies born in trash cans to defend his positions on HCR repeal. Testifying that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional before an emergency Rules Committee meeting on the GOP’s repeal bill this morning, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) offered a very specific argument. “There’ve always been,” King said, “babies that were born, lived, and died within the jurisdictions of the individual states, who never cross a state line, access no health care, and therefore do not impact interstate commerce.” When Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO) challenged King to “find the baby that was not born at a hospital or with a midwife, who did not receive inoculations,” King upped the ante. “I hate to tell you, but they show up in garbage cans around this country, sir This man is a shameless product of the conservative mind that has been radicalizing the GOP since the rise of Goldwater. That mind is destroying the political process in our country not to mention helping create a zombie army of brainless idiots. Speaking of default mechanisms, let’s review Steve King’s record. October, 2009 : …the hate crimes bill results in a “pedophile protection act,” and is meant to create “thought crimes” and protect “sexual idiosyncrasies.” February, 2010 : “It’s sad the incident in Texas happened, but by the same token, it’s an agency that is unnecessary and when the day comes when that is over and we abolish the IRS, it’s going to be a happy day for America.” (Referencing the attack on the Austin IRS office that killed one agent) March, 2010 : King declared that a peaceful uprising, a la the successful overthrowing of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia on the streets of Prague in 1989 “would be fine with me.” May, 2010 : “Gay people should stop wearing their sexuality on their sleeve.” May, 2010 : “The ACLU, SEIU and the Muslim American Society are calling the shots at the Justice Department. The ‘draft complaint’ DOJ has prepared to challenge the Arizona law is a ‘cut & paste’ version of the class-action lawsuit the ACLU filed in United States District Court on May 17th. ” And here’s a few more. Rep . Steve King ‘empathizes’ with the Austin Texas suicide attack on the IRS Rep. Steve King says Rep. Grijalva’s district has ceded to Mexico Hey, Steve King! Exactly where SHOULD gays wear their sexuality?
