This device uses safe ultraviolet light–the same technology trusted to sanitize hospital instruments–to eliminate up to 99.9% of the germs that accumulate on a smartphone. Two UV bulbs inside the case emit germicidal light to kill bacteria and viruses like H1N1, Streptococcus, E. coli, and Salmonella in five minutes. The UV light reaches into keypad crevices and other hidden areas that sustain germ vitality. The case holds a smartphone or iPod and automatically begins to sanitize the outward surfaces once the lid is closed and turns off after the five-minute cycle.

This is the easy-to-read keyboard with high-contrast keys and enlarged print. The bright yellow keys are labeled in black, san serif type, the same high-visibility color scheme used for highway warning signs. The 43-point characters (about 9/16″ tall) are heat transferred to the keys, after which a UV coating is applied for lasting durability.

Vulture has learned that Fox has renewed The Simpsons for a 23rd season of animated adventures, taking it through its landmark 500th episode (specifically, it takes the show up to episode 515). Word of the show’s continued production comes as The Simpsons is having a particularly buzzworthy season, what with that recent Banksy open, a Mark Zuckerberg cameo, and an upcoming Katy Perry segment with the Muppets.

Longtime Simpsons show-runner Al Jean, while psyched about the renewal, said he can’t claim to be the most excited one about the good news: “The happiest of all was the unicorn who pokes in all our DVDs,” Jean told us. “He’s getting extra hay out of this.”

Coffee lovers looking for a bit of sea air flavor in their espresso or Frappuccino might want to sample the first Starbucks at sea, which steamed into a Florida port on Thursday on board the world’s largest cruise liner.

Seattle-based Starbucks Corp, the world famous coffee chain, already has a nautical link — its founders took the name from Starbuck, the first mate on the Pequod whaler from Nantucket that hunted the white whale, Moby Dick, in Herman Melville’s famous novel.

This is the Bluetooth keyboard that connects wirelessly to an iPad for easy typing as if using a laptop computer. The keyboard’s sensitive, rubberized keys require only the lightest touch yet will last 500 million keystrokes. An iPad slides into the keyboard’s protective sleeve, leaving the iPad’s 30-in connector free for charging, and the sleeve props up at a convenient angle for easy viewing while typing; a wrist pad unfolds for comfort.

The sleeve is made from durable synthetic leather, treated with polyurethane that resists water and dust. The keyboard’s rechargeable battery provides up to 90 hours of uninterrupted operation from a four-hour charge off a USB connection to a computer using the included cable. Folds to the size of an appointment book for transport and storage.
