@MJDeviant: Nice thought! Now, I'm curious too...

Unless this is subsidized as hell, it can't be $35. And the bill of materials costing $47 - that's bunkum.

@Ben R: I'm sick of Giz writing about solar panels that charge every possible gadget on this planet.

@Svirfneblin: Unfortunately, no. It can only wake it up from standby or hibernation.

@minjin: There are a lot of Wake-on-LAN freewares available. I've been using WOL Magic Packet Sender and it works wonderfully. HTH

Nice interface, but quite a memory hog.

Naw.. not much of use. The solar cells would take all day out in the sun to charge a cell, let alone a battery pack.

@dangerp: Yup. I in fact, clicked on the link to check what 'windows' meant - OS or real ones.

@gmrple: Thanks. Now that you mention it, it does seem an old trick - from Sep '08 LH. I guess chrome was a lil too new for me to have noticed it.

@sweetmonkey: Well, you shouldn't be keeping these wonderful tips to yourself, while the rest of the universe struggles. There's a large 'Got a tip?' box just for these...

@Oranges w/ Cheese has 2 cats! ahahaha.: How about a book without horses?

@Miral007: Seriously, I just read the mail content and am not bothered by ads. Like Miral007 says, after a while, you stop noticing these ads.

@B1663R: Oh, I actually use a card and scotch tape over the small screws

@Jrsy Devil's Advocate®: That's a nice one:)

And spend hours trying to figure out where one left ones keys? Naw...

Amazing! Thanks for the post.

'Bing and Google' can't even handle a simple search in double quotes! Fix it guys.

@porath:

Thought I'd use it to decide if I really wanted to comment on this posting :/

@baritoneuk: You don't need to specify you are from the UK - your 'programme' gave it away.
