Good for the heart, bad for the fart.

Now I don't need a farty dog!, I can just blame it on the laptop!

its sulphur

and the dash stands for......e! It's vaporware people! Either way, the NiCad consorteum is sending out hitmen as we speak.

From the article:

Li-S could be easily packed into the tinniest devices

That means it'll be great for powering my tinny DVD, my tinny digital camera, in fact anything tinny and of far-Eastern manufacture.

" Li-S is still 3-5 years away." Wow just in time for 4.6Ghz longhorn laptops!

Well, these batteries might smell bad, but atleast they won't be depressed about it.

What about heat?...if you've got a device like a laptop, it can become a huge issue.

I know, you can fry you cock if you're not careful. Believe me, I know.

It ain't sulfur, boy - that there is good ol' Biblical brimstone!

The Lord has sent these here batteries to power the iBooks of the Sodomites, and will smite them mightily!

Time for "Pull my finger" pranks where someone pulls on your finger, and you boot up the iPod to provide the rotten-egg smell. Hilarious hijinx ensue.

So now you'll have to worry about smelling like rotten eggs when you charge up your PDA.

Scroll all the way to the bottom if you need help finding the address of their UK office. Also, work on your grammar and spelling; it's appa(u)lling.

Q. what would the battery industry give me if I developed a lightweight, portable, inexhaustible power supply?

A. A horse's head in my bed.

Across the street at the Windows Reverse-Engineering Hardware Conference, a group of hackers got one of the Lithium-Sulpher batteries to work in a laptop running Linux.

Linux-Sulpher batteries unveiled...

"Power hungry devices on the market today" had to be written by a marketing drone. Only commercially-obsessed marketing drones use inaccurately hyphenated phrases like "memory-hungry" and "power-hungry."

The phrases are meant to de-sensitize people to gluttony so they will drive 4.5 ton trucks with 18-inch wheels to the grocery store.

That Longhorn will be able to run on a laptop more than 30 minutes!

For portable personal-pleasure devices...

Umm...I mean something running GNU/Linux ofcourse!

"That means it'll be great for powering my tinny DVD, my tinny digital camera, in fact anything tinny and of far-Eastern manufacture."

Oh good, I can finally have a heart!

Personally, I'd like a little Pu-238 to power my laptop with. I figure that about 600 grams would power my laptop nonstop for ~40 years.

I can see the marketing slogan now.

"The battery that kills you long before it runs out"

IUPAC don't speak for England. They're international. So they're commie chemists! Sulphur! Honour! Colour! Crisps!

tinny (tn") adj. tinnier, tinniest. 1. Of, containing, or yielding tin. 2. Tasting or smelling of tin: tinny canned food. 3. Having a thin metallic sound: a high tinny voice. 4. Weak or thin; flimsy.

So, your DVD is made of tin, wow! And you get some sound or images of out it. Real hitech of 2004...

SION believes that its new Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries are the answer to the power hungry devices on the market today.

Really?

They're an answer to Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, and Microsoft?

Is so that when you're working late in a confined machine room, 3 hours past midnight, the smell of burning sulphur will remind you that you're in Tech Hell...

> Batteries are not used just in electronics.

That's the funniest thing I've heard today. What else are they used in? Salads?

Matthew

Easy... for a laptop, just put your PEM device near your P4 chip.

he Lord has sent these here batteries to power the iBooks of the Sodomites, and will smite them mightily!

And in my wobbly bits, no less!

That would make a great platform to play "Duke Nukem Forever" on! Drool...

Crisps!

I say Crisps should be shaped like Sierpinski Gaskets.

Infinitely crunchy, and no calories.

Just a hint ... Suphur is the same Brimstone that is spake about in ye olde testament, and is the main ingredient of acid rain.

Hence disposing of these things will rot the environment and invoke the wrath of the Lord. If you buy one, you'd best keep it forever, or else you can reasonably expect at least three plagues, and probably being struck by lightning and turned to stone as well.
