Researchers at Iowa State University have put the geek back into men’s wear with a solar-paneled tie that can both charge and store your cell phone. The tie is printed with a special textile pattern that matches the stitched-on solar cells, making it slightly more fetching. Also available from the same research team: a men’s suit jacket covered in solar panels … just think: depending on the available sunlight, you might be able to charge a cell phone AND an iPod! So, when someone tells you to wear your energetic heart on your sleeve, you really can.

Hmm, I wonder if the "red LED" used to study those wrinkles was your typical high-efficiency InGaAlP version.
Ahh so many items that I could care less about. Not that they aren't important, I just know I'll probably never hear about anyone of these ever again.
