Images via Voltaic Systems We usually hear about new solar-charging bags from Voltaic Systems, known for its very high quality backpacks, laptop cases and messenger bags. However, the company is bringing us something new — stand-alone chargers. They have three new models available, each boasting about four times the charging power of most solar chargers out there on the market. Voltaic states they can charge a smartphone in just 4-5 hours of direct sunlight, which is a fast charge by any account. It seems we might finally have small, personal chargers that make practical sense. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

After canceling stops due to illness this summer, the British electropop act returns Stateside in November. By Peter de Saint Phalle La Roux Photo: Samuel Dietz/ WireImage British electropop sensation La Roux have landed top spots on radio playlists all summer long with their smash-hit single “Bulletproof,” which has sold more than 1.5 million copies and is into its 24th week on the Billboard Hot 100. And Elly Jackson and company were eager to prove that Kevlar strength Stateside this summer, but she was forced to cancel a handful of dates due to bronchitis and then pharyngitis. But now she’s ready to return with a headlining U.S. tour in November. The tour will last only for a brief 17 days, kicking off in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on November 1 before heading up the East Coast to conclude at New York’s Terminal 5. La Roux have also announced that their single “In for the Kill” will be hitting U.S. radio stations within the next month. The track — for which they shot a video almost a year ago — has been generating a buzz since Skream’s “Let’s Get Ravey” remix of the song appeared on an episode of HBO’s “Entourage” earlier this month. The tour dates for La Roux’s fall 2010 U.S. tour, according to their MySpace blog:
