images credit François de Martrin-Donos Dishwashers are, I think, the most poorly thought out of appliances. In our house, if we wait for it to be full before we wash, we inevitably run out of spoons and espresso cups. I once had a client put in two of them so that they never had to be emptied, but were used as storage; the client loved it but spent a lot of time re-washing clean dishes. French designer François de Martrin-Donos , currently working in Shanghai, has addressed the problem and… Read the full story on TreeHugger

iGUGU , the company behind Gamecore (and the company with a name that even a neonate can say) will be demonstrating its InterneTV product at CES this week. The PC-based solution allows users to watch and share any content on their HDTV, projector or monitor, via wireless USB. It also comes packed with an RF remote and seems simple enough that even the stock photo “hippie” above can figure it out! We’ll let you know what we think when we get our hands on the device itself, but until that happens you’ll have to make do with the PR. Luckily, it’s after the break.

Photos by Kevin Schuder This recipe was created exclusively for TreeHugger by Kevin Schuder, Executive Chef at Yield Wine Bar , to pair with a bottle of Sarah Little from our featured green wine maker, Kaz Vineyard & Winery . The Kaz ‘Sarah Little’ 2007 Petite Syrah is a very well-balanced wine that is light-bodied, with good acidity and spice. “I found aromas of cranberries, fennel, pine and cloves, and thought it might be nice to focus on the right combination … Read the full story on TreeHugger

January 5, 2011 No Comment
Don’t ever knock the SD Association for lagging behind. A scant seven months after the aforesaid entity revealed the UHS-I specifications , in flies the predicted successor at CES . UHS-II is a newfangled bus-interface system that promises high-def recording speeds of up to 312 megabytes per second, enabling pro shooters and videographers to actually consider an SDHC or SDXC-based camera rather than relying solely on CompactFlash or SSD. The protocol will be an integral part of the SD 4.00 specification that’s going out to members later in the quarter, and naturally, it’ll only be useful to SDXC and SDHC cards. We’re looking at a 3x increase in transfer rates , and these same upticks will be gracing UHS-II microSDXC and microSDHC cards, too. Best of all, UHS-II cards will be fully backwards compatible with older devices and readers, as the speed increase simply relies on a new row of pins on a familiar form factor. In related news, a new eBook SD application has been announced, though the details surrounding it are murky at best. So far as we can tell, eBook SD cards will have their content pretty well contained, giving publishers the ability to rest easy while still getting content out to the myriad products that can understand SD. Peek the full release after the break.

January 5, 2011 No Comment
Looking for a few peripherals to go along with all of this new gear being unveiled at CES ? Have a gander at this. Xtrememac has just rolled out yet another rechargeable battery pack / protective case for Apple’s iPhone 4, with this particular monster having a 2300mAh battery, an integrated kickstand and an on / off switch. The InCharge Mobile will go for $79.99, putting it in direct competition from the folks at Mophie . Next up is the InCharge Auto USB, which is a somewhat plain in-car USB charger that saves itself with ten watts of output — plenty to juice up your iPad as it acts as the Road Trip Jukebox. The InCharge Auto Plus doubles it up with a second USB port, while the InCharge Auto AUX tosses in a 3.5mm auxiliary jack for easy connecting to one’s line-in port. Those three will sell for $24.99, $29.99 and $49.99 in order of mention, and the trio should be available to ship right about… now.
