Using the Aerogarden to grow plants without soil is by all means a neat idea, but the product isn't exactly urban chic. We like this concept more.
If you got one of those 8.9-inch Eee PCs and found that the 12GB of included drive space just wasn't enough, don't despair! GreenHouse Japan has released two new SSD modules which sport 35MB/s reading speeds and 15MB/s writing speeds. The modules are specifically made to work with the 901 and 900 lines, and will cost $US143 for a 32GB version and $US292 for the 64GB one. [Greenhouse via Akihabara News]
Okay, these headphones from Greenhouse are pretty similar to the weirdo pig ones from a few months ago... but they're worth it simply because I like the idea of having a mini model Angel and Devil pushed into your ears instead of boring old normal headphones. They've got a 5mW output, 20Hz to 20kHz response and are out in Japan in five different colour combos for about $US10. [NewLaunches]
This strange product from Greenhouse is worth talking about, if only so I could share that headline with you. In case you're wondering, the pig is in soft silicon... to reproduce the texture of a real pig. After that news, you won't care these weird 'phones have a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency range, multi-sized silicon earbuds and 89cm cable with a gold-plated plug. The GC-ERC-PIG's are available soon in pink black or white for just US$11, but that's in Japan, pigheadphone fans. [AV Watch]
Apparently inspired by Buckminster Fuller's push for domed cities, farmers in Kent, England are building a 220-acre series of connected greenhouses, where nothing will be grown in soil. Instead, nutrient-packed water will be used to grow 1.3 million plants hydroponically. The 7 greenhouses will increase the UK's green vegetable supply 15%, and the green houses will be self sufficient during the dry season by collecting rainwater from October-April. No word on whether Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin will be allowed inside. [UK Guardian via Jaunted via io9]
Charge up Greenhouse's rotating speakers via USB and they give you eight hours' of sounds when you clip them on to your fifth-gen iPod. With an output of 770mW x 2, the GH-SPA214CC costs US$44 and will be out in Japan at the end of the month. They're a pretty neat way to bug people on public transport. [Impress]
