This isn’t your father’s Powermat . The company who’s name is synonymous with induction charging has undergone a makeover of sorts, reducing the bulk of its egregious logo in addition to the custom battery covers it makes for select devices. The $59.99 mat and receiver door (or $39.99 for the receiver only) for the notoriously power hungy EVO 4G is a good example of where Powermat’s aftermarket induction charging tech can melt away into the design without affecting the overall aesthetic. In fact, if it wasn’t for that logo and charging connector on the case to the right we’d swear that was a stock EVO 4G handset. See it unboxed and put to task in the video after the break.

What exactly is a fancy, anyway? As we ponder that, and other far-fetched meanings of life, we’re forced to take a look a yet another mystery of our planet: EFO. Who are these guys? Where do they spend quality time? Did they ever consider that the iPazzPort would become a worldwide phenomenon? Merely months after rolling out a minuscule Bluetooth keyboard for controlling HTPCs and other doodads, the company is now outing a slightly larger version — one with a multitouch trackpad on top of the keys. Oddly enough, it also saw fit to throw a laser pointer into the mix, though this version will rely on those tried-and-true RF frequencies for wireless communication. Check out a downright exhilarating video of it in action past the break, and tap that source link if you’re eager to drop $55 (including shipping) on one.

Looking for a little inspiration for your Halloween costume? Then you might not want to read any further, as you’ll likely only find yourself struggling to match the Samus Aran costume that 11-year old Joseph DeRose and his father are building. That costume apparently only consists of an arm cannon at the moment, but it’s certainly an impressive arm cannon — it packs an array of LED lights with various settings (controlled by an Arduino , naturally), not to mention an assortment of sound effects from the Metroid games. Those not concerned about being upstaged can check out a video of the build process after the break.

Photo: D’Arcy Norman , Flickr, Creative Commons As we all know, thousands of landfills around the countries are teeming with literally tons of perfectly good raw materials and otherwise usable trash. And in an era of increasing resource scarcity, there’s a corresponding demand for many of those materials. In other words, we have more and more trash, yet companies are demanding more materials for production and construction. So, there’s vast potential for a company like RecycleMatch, which does exactly what it sounds like it does — it matches companies with the res… Read the full story on TreeHugger
