This week, DVICE was all green. We took a look at 7 promising new green-power technologies and also the 10 best ideas for greening your home that you've never heard of.

We also did a bit of reverse fortune-telling with 5 tech predictions from 1968 that were dead-on (and 5 that were completely nuts), and Fidgit, our gametastic sister site, added 10 dos and don'ts for upgrading your Xbox 360.
