Next Gen Oxyride Batteries Coming Soon

marksilverman writes "The New York Times is reporting that Panasonic will start selling (Biometric scan required to prove your value as a human being) next generation Oxyride batteries soon. They last twice as long as premium alkaline batteries, they deliver more power, and they're cheaper. They're already popular in Japan. The downside? They have a shorter life in a "rundown test" where you put the batteries in and leave the power on until they're drained. In real-world scenarios (like how many digital pictures you can take) they do really well."

    Excuse me, but which part of We don't want an open border with Mexico don't you understand, Mr. President?
    I'd agree to close the border so long as they take Texas with them.

    federal income tax, I've gotten the damn thing done and in the mail before April 15th.

    Up until now I've always filed for an extension and done them the last weekend prior to August 15th.

    So, I'm feeling good, bragging to my friends, spouse is amazed!

    Then fucking Panasonic has to throw cold battery piss on my party. I mean what the fuck do they think releasing this...

    "Play your cards right, in other words, and these batteries might just clean out your gutters, wash the car and do your taxes."

    before August 15th!!

    I'll never buy their batteries now!
