Logitech K750 wireless solar-powered keyboard innards checked out by the FCC Boy, do we sometimes wish that we could spend more time rummaging through the FCC’s archives and arcane site, as it holds a treasure trove of information. Take for instance, this super green computer peripheral known as the Logitech K750 wireless solar-powered keyboard – and imagine being able to play with it so much, that ripping off the cover of the device (in a dignified manner, of course) is something that is part and parcel of everyday work. Boasting of two solar panels, the Logitech K750 wireless keyboard will rely on those to ensure it remains juiced up and ready for action all the time, and best of all is, even the standard florescent office lights will do if you aren’t sitting anywhere near a window. The solar panels are easily removable, where upon doing so would reveal an Atmel ATXMEGA microcontroller. Makes you wonder where does all the charged up juice from the sun go, right?

Alternative currency An alternative currency (or private currency) is any currency used as an alternative to the dominant national or multinational currency systems (usually referred to as national or fiat money). They are created by an individual, corporation, or organization, they can be created by national, state, or local governments, or they can arise naturally as people begin to use a certain commodity as a currency. Mutual credit is a form of alternative currency, and thus any form of lending that does not go through the banking system can be considered a form of alternative currency. When used in combination with or when designed to work in combination with national or multinational fiat currencies they can be referred to as complementary currency. Most complementary currencies are also local currencies and are limited to a certain region. Barters are another type of alternative currency.
