Imagine, the previous post was on a 2000 lumen flashlight that requires 20 lithium batteries. And then here we have Panasonic developing a vehicle capable of moving an actual human at an average speed of 65mph, hitting 75.8mph when running all-out. Now, that’s some impressive use of battery power, and the Guinness Book of World Records took note. Of course, I’m sure Panasonic’s working on other sorts of battery technology, but hey, world records are world records, yah know?

After yesterdays dire shortage warnings resulting from a power outage, Samsung says that the 6 production lines affected are now "fully operational." It still projects losses to be around $43 million, and prices of select NAND chips have already risen 6.3-percent to a record $19.02.

Two new offerings from Crate for the guitar lovers:

The 5 watt USB-equipped Profiler 5 weighs in at only 6 pounds and can be powered from an AC power supply or from six AA batteries, making it portable. It also sports a mini-jack for your iPod to play along with your songs and all for a street price of $159.99.

The new V-Series tube amps feature a universal power supply making it possible for you to play just about anywhere on this planet without those transformers to lug around. Prices start at $299.99 for the 5-watt V5 combo priced and climbs to $789.99 for the 33-watt, dual-channel V33-212.

For $6,900 you can get your hands on – or your seat onto – a Zero X …the quiet electric bike touted as having “the world’s best acceleration, agility and durability of any in the motorcycle in the market, electric or gas.”

Powered by a lithium-ion battery, it weighs 120 pounds, goes from 0-50 miles in “a flash” and best of all for your neighbors (or sneaking into the house), it is silent.

Leave it to Alienware to be one of the first to offer SSD, like the 32GB or 64GB SSDs they’re offering in their M9750, M9700, and M5550 systems. They’re even offering an 64GB SSD RAID-0 configuration, along with a 32GB SSD coupled with a 200GB standard HDD to combine speed with storage. As always, SSD will provide more speed with less power, and since the technology probably came from Area 51, it makes perfect sense that Alienware should be one of the first to offer them. Of course, you’ll pay for the luxury: from $500 for the 32GB solo to $920 for the 64GB RAID configuration.
