    Cheaper to buy a second car battery. And 40 hours to recharge?

    Talking batteries? Technology's cool and all but really, a future where all of our routine objects talks to us is worse than a post-nuclear apocalypse.

    Couldn't you say something like "Power Unit, recognize Fallon, Sean, code Pi 1-1-0, silent countdown. Enable"?

    Half-assed concept.


    Why not just make batteries wrapped in solarcells? Not only would such self-contained batteries store and recharge their own power. eliminating the need for separate external powerpacks, they would be eco- and space-efficient.


    Some people have noodles for brains.


    And tongues in their cheeks.

    Wait, you mean that thing talks at you no matter what? You can't turn it off? That'd get really annoying. There's a more generic power pack like this that's been around for a while and only costs $99, so I'd recommend checking that one out. Thinkgeek.com has it, I think.

    you'd think someone would have figured out how to turn the air pressure of nagging and bitching into a tire pump by now.
