rcastro0 writes "What looks like a CPU's heat sink worn around the wrist apparently may be able to make you feel cool even while it is hot — or warm while it is cold.

The device is called Wristify, and Mashable has a video."

    how did this story get all the way to the front page without anybody noticing that "thermoelectric" was misspelled?

    For the last time, I'm not your personal fucking Google.

    For a vampire your questions sure aren't well informed. What good is being immortal if you can't adapt to changing society? It's the Age of Information, who would want to be an eternal troglodyte? Stake yourself to a sun spot, you're giving creatures of the night a bad name.
