Nanocoating Waterproofs Any Gadget

An anonymous reader writes "Water has always been the bane of electronics, however American company Liquipel just announced that they have developed a way to completely waterproof any device against the elements. Using a revolutionary process, Liquipel applies a hydrophobic nanocoating to phones, computers, and other devices that completely waterproofs them and protects them against accidental exposure to liquids."

Announcing Waterproof 3D HDTVs! by Anonymous Coward · 2012-01-12 15:08 · Score: 5, Funny

What? Your TV is only 3D HDTV? It's not WATER PROOF?! Why not? Are you poor? Why haven't you bought one? How else do you plan to entertain under water?

  I read this to my girlfriend because I thought it was funny. Her response? "It would be kind of cool to watch TV underwater. I want one in the shower. Do you know how boring it is to shave your legs?"

  Maybe if you helped her shave her legs it would be more interesting. At least the first few times ;).

Get back to us when you kill an IBM Model M keyboard. It's like the Tonka Truck of keyboards. You hit someone with a Model M, they're going down.

The only real way to kill a Model M is to throw it into the fires of Mount Doom, where it was forged.
