Fuel Cells for Laptop Computers

Posted by Hemos on from the interesting-ideas dept.

ArbiterOne writes "An article in PC World states that the company MTI Micro Fuel Cells plans to demonstrate a new technology this week that could pave the way for better power technology for laptop and palmtop computers. The article claims that this new technology could provide a battery life 2.5 times greater than that of a lithium-ion battery. Could this be the solution to the problem of short battery life in high-end notebooks?"

    I especially enjoyed the big finale when they went back in time and changed the past, and then went back into the future and saved the day as usual!

    "This is General John Taylor of the free corps of the United States. We are here on the authority of the free peoples of America, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa that can no longer stand by and watch one their greatest allies and friend falling into darkness and despair.

    We are here on behalf on the thousands of civilians imprisoned, tortured and murdered on the orders of the current US administration who have no one else to speak for them. And on behalf of the units of this coalition that have joined us to oppose the tyranny that has darkened the North-American continent ever since "president" Bush was selected a decade ago. We are here to place President Bush under arrest, to disband the Office of Homeland Security and return our government to the hands of her people.

    We know that many in the government have wanted to act, but have been intimidated by threats of retaliation against your family and friends. But you are not alone anymore. We have drawn their forces away from the mainland and have disabled them. The time to act is know.

    This is not the voice of treason. These are your sons, your daughters whose loyalty has never wavered. Whose beliefs in this Alliance has forced us to take extraordinary means. For justice, for peace, for the future we have come home."

    as we're seeing it. the corepirate nazi execrable, in all it's manifestations, has soured J. Public for online information giving/buying.

    a while back, we we're getting an almost even # of orders for our products, from online, & by postal.

    as of late, the online # has dropped drastically, whilst the mail order # has increased, equally as dramatically. you figure it out?
