    Where's the Carl Sagan autotune now? Come one, we all know that anaerobic glycolysis would fill a thousand 500-page volumes via "Cosmos". Now I want to hear the autotune version, please. #bloodbatteries

    I'm imagining the irony of having a device in your body to fight diabetes.

    It'd be a device that is powered by glucose to process glucose.... #bloodbatteries

    From the article "their waste products will need to be removed without allowing any harmful substances to leach out into the blood stream". That could mean that, while the metabolic waste itself may not be harmful, other components of the battery may be.

    From the limited amount I know about yeast, I don't believe they produce anything that our livers can't handle. #bloodbatteries

    Humans as living batteries? I don't like where this is going.

    Considering the fear/joy which resulted from a simple math equation like E=mc², we should think on this one.

    ...never mind "The Matrix", fear Exxon. #bloodbatteries

    If you're using yeast to process glucose, the waste product is going to be ethanol.
    I'm pretty sure I'm not alone here, but I for one would certainly pay good money for a device that charges batteries and intoxicates at the same time. #bloodbatteries

    I get the same battery life as I did in XP on my Macbook Pro. I can get a little over 2 hours max with wifi off, screen almost off, and doing basic tasks. #netbooks

    Never had we been able to just work and work and work...without having to look for an AC outlet!

    Do us a favor, check whether this is even a real product yet. Lots of stuff on Yanko will simply never see the light of day.

    I do like the way they want to handle getting the batteries into and out of the charger. #renewsolarbatterycharger

    I truly do not understand the geek obsession with caffeine. I guess if you really fit the stereotype and never exercise then it's the only way to get energy, but... having an obvious addiction to something and being proud of it is just so strange from a group of smart people.

    In reply to Monstrous Battery Pack Promises 20 Hours of Video Playback for iPhones
    I have the Mophie and LOVE it, it's not hard to take off at all, those are rumors. Mine fits snug and slides off easlily too. I WISH, someone would make a case such as the Mphie that's just thicker instead of taller so it could have a larger capacity battery. The thickness would be much better to tolerate than the height in my opinion. This looks like it's a "snap and break" waiting to happen because it's so tall. And not very pocketable like a thicker one would still be. Not for everyday use probably, but certainly better than almost double the height of this thing. I don't like this one. Love the power, but footprint it too high.
