The intern was disappointed to learn that this Japanese woman is not included with Kyocera’s new solar panel (with the world’s highest efficiency rating for mass produced solar cells). I didn’t have the heart to tell him that we actually do receive review models with our review models — screaming stacks of them, actually — but that we feel he’s just too young to see the prostitutional side of technology reviewing (the writers kneeling for the product companies, that is; the models we set free in a bucolic reserve).
Oh, and nevermind that these have a 15.7% conversion efficiency rating (That’s the highest?) and will be followed up by cells with a 17.7% rating in 2005. Let us do the science talk, okay?
