Good for the heart, bad for the fart.
Now I don't need a farty dog!, I can just blame it on the laptop!
in girum imus nocte et consumimur igni

That man tried to kill mah Daddy
and the dash stands for......e! It's vaporware people! Either way, the NiCad consorteum is sending out hitmen as we speak.
Li-S could be easily packed into the tinniest devices
That means it'll be great for powering my tinny DVD, my tinny digital camera, in fact anything tinny and of far-Eastern manufacture.
oh brave new world, that has such people in it!
" Li-S is still 3-5 years away." Wow just in time for 4.6Ghz longhorn laptops!

Well, these batteries might smell bad, but atleast they won't be depressed about it.
This is a special excite

What about heat?...if you've got a device like a laptop, it can become a huge issue.
I know, you can fry you cock if you're not careful. Believe me, I know.
Time for "Pull my finger" pranks where someone pulls on your finger, and you boot up the iPod to provide the rotten-egg smell. Hilarious hijinx ensue.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
So now you'll have to worry about smelling like rotten eggs when you charge up your PDA.

Scroll all the way to the bottom if you need help finding the address of their UK office. Also, work on your grammar and spelling; it's appa(u)lling.
Q. what would the battery industry give me if I developed a lightweight, portable, inexhaustible power supply?
A. A horse's head in my bed.
Unknown host pong.
Across the street at the Windows Reverse-Engineering Hardware Conference, a group of hackers got one of the Lithium-Sulpher batteries to work in a laptop running Linux.

Linux-Sulpher batteries unveiled...
"Power hungry devices on the market today" had to be written by a marketing drone. Only commercially-obsessed marketing drones use inaccurately hyphenated phrases like "memory-hungry" and "power-hungry."
The phrases are meant to de-sensitize people to gluttony so they will drive 4.5 ton trucks with 18-inch wheels to the grocery store.
That Longhorn will be able to run on a laptop more than 30 minutes!

SION believes that its new Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries are the answer to the power hungry devices on the market today.
Really?
They're an answer to Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, and Microsoft?
Is so that when you're working late in a confined machine room, 3 hours past midnight, the smell of burning sulphur will remind you that you're in Tech Hell...
Enjoy science fiction? "Turing Evolved" - AI, Mecha, Androids and rail-gun battles. What more could you want?

That's the funniest thing I've heard today. What else are they used in? Salads?

Easy... for a laptop, just put your PEM device near your P4 chip.
Hence disposing of these things will rot the environment and invoke the wrath of the Lord. If you buy one, you'd best keep it forever, or else you can reasonably expect at least three plagues, and probably being struck by lightning and turned to stone as well.
