      It ain't sulfur, boy - that there is good ol' Biblical brimstone!

      The Lord has sent these here batteries to power the iBooks of the Sodomites, and will smite them mightily!

      IUPAC don't speak for England. They're international. So they're commie chemists! Sulphur! Honour! Colour! Crisps!

    From the article:

    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.

    Personally, I'd like a little Pu-238 to power my laptop with. I figure that about 600 grams would power my laptop nonstop for ~40 years.
    I can see the marketing slogan now.

    "The battery that kills you long before it runs out"

    > Batteries are not used just in electronics.

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