As a writer, I think of being able to use a laptop anywhere, anytime without ever having to worry about losing my work.
but my neighbour across the street is a cardiologist. Imagine how much safer his patients would feel with batteries that last. (And I don't really care if it's a battery or an RTG - a rose is a rose by any name.)
Yes, I find the idea of anyone having a nuclear power pack inside or on their body odd. Not scary, just odd. And if Stupid can get him/her self killed by toying with it - then obviously it isn't ready for the consumer market.
Then again, maybe weeding out a few of the "Stupids" isn't such a bad idea. Let's start with everyone who thinks they're smart enough to label someone else.;-)
