    Geez. I just Googled "bong air filter." Nothing like Rothman's (again) patentable idea, but I did discover the kids are putting HEPA filters in their bongs these days. Psh. They're missing all the good stuff. #gizmodoremainders

    Might need a bigger filter to grow in that thing. Unless you're growing autoseeding dwarves.

    I'm talking about oregano, of course! #gizmodoremainders

    Maybe you could fill your car up with that liquid battery goo in the future? #gizmodoremainders

    @Rejexted: Probably precisely why they got the DoE grant. An 11x improvement in how much energy you can store per amount of weight greatly improves the outlook on electric vehicles if it can be scaled up.

    Plus... screw rocket motorcycles. How bout an electric one with so much power it throws you into the next state? #gizmodoremainders

    So somehow, in the minds of an analyst, a 234% increase is wiped by a 6% decrease? That's enough to declare it "mixed"?

    Following the writing of this report, the analysts blew $5,000 on hookers and coke. Then they found some spare change under the couch. Their cash flow position for the evening was declared "mixed".

    @icelight: The real question is, what percentage of that $5,000 was spent on hookers? #gizmodoremainders

    The air intake reminds me of the Chase logo. Ahh, corporate conditioning at work.

    That battery juice is awesome.

    Looks way to much like the stuff that people were kept in in the matrix though.

    Kinda looks a little like the liquid O2 in The Abyss too. Wonder if I can breath it? #gizmodoremainders

    @tande04: It sounds cool. I'm just wondering what benefits it has over solid batteries. If anything, it sounds like it would be more of a nuisance. #gizmodoremainders

    @macpatrik: I googled around for a bit on it.

    Sounds impressive if they get around the costs. The goal is 11x the energy density of Li-ion for 1/3rd the cost. #gizmodoremainders

    @tande04: Sounds interesting. I'm too lazy to "google around" but I just don't get why they want to make it a liquid. Why not invest in ways to improve our current shitty batteries and their shitty battery lives. #gizmodoremainders

    @macpatrik: I think the liquid part is just how the battery is made. They're not going to add more liquid to charge the battery or anything like that. Just like you don't add more lithium to charge your laptop battery.

    It is the way to improve our shitty batteries' lives. Just like Li-ion is the step up from Ni-Cad, you have to change the material sometimes at the base of the battery to really improve the shitty batteries #gizmodoremainders

    So does this mean that Windows 7 is actually just faking the performance while a different OS is running in the background? #gizmodoremainders
