USB Batteries
An anonymous reader writes "Tired of paying for new batteries all the time? Tired of searching for the charger for your rechargeable batteries? Worry not, because these new AA batteries will recharge direct from your USB port! This is such a cool idea, that I cant believe that no one has done it before." At $24 each I would hate to lose or break them on a regular basis.
The little "L" like symbol means pounds not dollars.
It's what those crazy Brits use as money.
Well sure, for AA it's pointless. But what if you could charge a laptop battery with it? With two of them you could charge the main battery and the spare and never run dry!

No wireless. Less space than a Nomad.
Lame.
So what Brittish companies can we ridicule with the £?
Obviously ££oyds of £ondon
Lets think... there's the £and Rover, although not really Brit owned now.
Virgin Air£ines?
Che£sea footba££ C£ub?
anything that has Eng£and in its name
How could anyone forget the Roya£ Fami£y?
GlaxoSmithK£ine is Brittish based and thats a good one, a drug company we know they on£y care about money
Uni£ever is also Brittish
any other suggustions
Well.. maybe. Or Maybe not. But Definitely not sort of.
Until somebody comes out with a standard DC power connector, the answer to your question is "yes".
Ha! I can show you two dozen different standard DC power connectors here in my desk drawer...

where an AC talks about a cool new product, I automatically assume said AC is a marketing rep from producer of product.

At the rate things are going, cities will be powered not with nuclear power stations, but by a gigantic laptop, with the grid plugged into the USB port. Better watch out the battery doesn't explode, though.
... and then they built the supercollider.
