Batterylife Activator Reviewed

Posted by timothy on Sunday March 20, 2005 @06:57AM from the grandly-mocked dept.

Daniel Rutter writes "Slashdot chewed over the BatMax Battery Life Booster - a nanotechnomagical sticker that's meant to rejuvenate lithium ion batteries - a while ago. Now I've reviewed the strikingly similar Batterylife Activator, and subjected it to actual empirical testing, with automated datalogging and everything. The results confirmed my original suspicion -- that the local Batterylife branch made a serious error of judgement when they decided to send me their product."

Duh, even testing this was stupid by Anonymous Coward · 2005-03-20 07:00 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Not only this sounds like a valid claim, but while it doesn't really add up for what is in fact a disguised first post.

Now it's in the "It's Funny, Laugh" section? That's odd since the original story was posted as a serious news item. Oh, and Slashdot never officially commented on that story being nothing more than garbage.

So, I guess this Longevity Activator nano-tech rub-on tattoo won't actually keep me alive for an extra 50 years either, huh? Still, I'd like to see some empirical evidence either way...

Are these like those magic stickers you put on your car to double your fuel efficency?

There's a sucker born every minute.
John DeLorean is dead :-( by Anonymous Coward · 2005-03-20 07:12 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Futuristic car designer John DeLorean was found dead in his Michigan home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to time travel in Back to the Future . Truly an American icon.

Editor covering up another Slashdot editor's crap editing? I think so.

OpenBSD has dropped support for the Adaptec AAC RAID card, this is after four months of attempts to get the documentation to fix a broken driver.
