New Fuel Cell Twice As Efficient As Generators

Posted by kdawson on from the when-and-how-much dept.

Hank Green writes "A new kind of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell has been developed that can consume any kind of fuel, from hydrogen to bio-diesel; it is over two times more efficient than traditional generators. Acumentrics is attempting to market the technology to off-grid applications (like National Parks) and also for home use as personal Combined Heat and Power plants that are extremely efficient (half as carbon-intensive as grid power.)"

    Dear PC users,

    It's no secret iTunes turned to shit as soon as Apple had to start catering to PC users. It was version 4.1, if memory serves, around the time they let you cavedwellers into our music store. The demand for PC compatibility is the major reason iTunes is still a Carbon app, according to insiders, when every other iApp has since been rewritten in Cocoa to behave like a decent Mac application.

    Frankly, we think Apple should revoke PC compatibility from the iPod. Only when the last PC user is forced from our platform shall we enjoy freedom, again and at last, from your tasteless, backwards demands.

    Love,
    Mac users

    While it makes sense to buy the gayest computer around to use the gayest mp3 player around it seems rather inconvenient and costly. Couldn't Apple just make one version of iTunes for full blown faggots that use all Apple hardware, and another version for people who are only bi-curious and don't have the money for a Mac and AIDS treatment?
