Nanobatteries Power Artificial Eyes
Roland Piquepaille writes "A new U.S. research center, the National Center for Design of Biomimetic Nanoconductors, has been opened to promote new ideas in the field of nanomedicine. For example, a team of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) is developing a nano-size battery to be implanted in the eye to power artificial retina. But this center will also design and build 'nanomedical devices based on natural and synthetic ion transporters -- proteins that control ion motion across the membranes of every living cell.'"
There is nothing worse than running out of battery powered sight when you're looking at something important like a model's breasts.
So... uh, back to where you were.
... with Picture-in-Picture.
I'll take a set of the glowing blue LED eyes
Why not suggest that Terri Hatcher uses Nanobatteries in her personal massager, or that you're thinking of Roland naked and petrified?
Actually, I was envisioning a ménage à trois involving ScuttleMonkey, CmdrTaco, and TVs David Letterman. You were spot on about the nonobattery powered personal massager and Ms. Hatcher though. High five.
hi mom!
Good, then you have twenty years to join the middle class, I feel that is more than enough of a warning.
In the Soviet Union, Roland Piquepaille complained about you!
Good, inexpensive web hosting
Or what if you install it backwards? Surely it'll be tricky to differentiate between + and - if it's on the nano scale... Would you see in Ctrl+i?
How are sites slashdotted when nobody reads TFAs?
Personally, I'm waiting for models with zoom and nightvision before I trade in my weak organic meatballs.
Tachikoma: "Mr. Bato! Where are you going?"
Bato: "I can't see a damn thing! All I see is this blue screen with some stupid message asking me to press enter."
Kusanagi: "Is that why you are in the ladies rest room?"
Aramaki: "What the hell are you all stand around and blathering about?!"
Kusanagi: "It's Bato. He's got the blue screen of death again."
Togusa: "Have you pressed CTRL-ALT-DEL?"
Saito: "What are you? Some kind of noobie? Run a diagonstic!"
Aramaki: "Go to the Start Menu!"
Tachikoma: "Call technical support!"
The other Tachikomas (pass through the hall): "What's going on?"
Tachikoma: "It's Mr. Bato! He can't see!"
Bato (bumps head against the wall accidently, then is embarrassed by the events that just occured): "If I don't show up for work tomarrow, don't call to wake me up."
The Rapture is NOT an exit strategy.
And during the day you can use solar, right?
Sure, just stare at the sun for a couple of minutes and you're good to go!

Why Natalie Portman, naked and petrified, covered in Hot Grits of course!
