    Done and done. Best of luck, Jake. (We will of course expect a few exclusive shots from CES for Giz in exchange for our...*ahem*....services.)

    So does that mean Sony reads Gizmodo throughout the day? Nice compliment to the credibility of Giz while calling the information posted a lie. I suppose having them give the "real" information for the upcoming line-up is out of the question? #sony

    Interesting that they're going back to the same floating glass design my XBR4 has. But the black bezel on this appears much thinner. #sonyhdtv20102011roadmapleaked

    That's great, but... my $5 flashlight has a handle on the bottom that flips out, and if you crank it for a few seconds you have a half hour of light. #mpoweremergencyilluminator

    @AmishJohn: flashlights don't need to be pretty as long as they shed light on the pretty things. 20 years of no battery purchases certainly would be worth it to me, but I won't buy one to be honest. It IS a 250.00 flashlight after all. ;-) #mpoweremergencyilluminator

    ........the battery doesn't LAST for 20 years of use...Rather, when not connected to terminals, the battery will still be able to provide power 20 years in the FUTURE as they figured out some way to eliminate erroneous power dissipation. #mpoweremergencyilluminator

    @TheSonOfKrypton: Actually, there is a mechanically actuated membrane that separates the electrolytes until needed. This membrane is what gives the battery a 20 year shelf life. Once activated, you get typical battery life.

    @bselnick: What the hell...Are my speaking Greek? What I said AGREES with what you said. Your explanation of there being a "mechanically actuated membrane that separates the electrolytes until needed" merely agrees with my less specific "they figured out some way". And my "....the battery doesn't LAST for 20 years of use" agrees with your "....what gives the battery a 20 year shelf life". #mpoweremergencyilluminator

    @TheSonOfKrypton: Sadly, the ability to read does not confer comprehension, nor the ability to make inferences based on context clues. The upshot is that the rampant act-first-look-later conclusion-jumping (typically involving an egregious sens eof self-righteousness) gives us plenty of fodder for irony-based meta-llurgy with which to catch them at the bottom. #mpoweremergencyilluminator

    That's a poor design, from an ergonomic, engineering, and cost perspective. And the flashlight doesn't stay on for 20 years, it just supposedly stays available for 20 years in case you want to use it. I'd much rather have a $5 motion-induction-recharged flashlight that will last 100 years... oh wait, I do. #mpoweremergencyilluminator
