I assume you will still have your fuel cell laptop running on AC when you're at home... It's on the commute to and from work/school you're using the battery or fuel cell, and it when you get to your destination you need to recharge.

A few spoonfulls of it can kill you (less can make you go blind), and it's highly volatile and inflammable. <br><br>Before someone points out the obvious, yes, I guess petrol is similar and does just fine. However, firstly, petrol is much less poisonous and volatile. Secondly, the closest it gets to you most of the time is sitting in a big sturdy tank under a car. This makes it unlikely to leak and means that if it were to it isn't right in your face should it decide to poison you or go on fire. <br><br>For methanol-based fuel cells to replace batteries this couldn't be the case. We're talking much smaller, easier damaged containers that are a lot closer to the people using them (on your lap, in your pocket, in your bag, etc). While I'm sure with small enough quantities and sufficient safeguards it can be done, it does seem to be an inherently far more dangerous technology than batteries. I'm not yet convinced.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[treetrunk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2006 6:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung shows off fuel cell dock with one month of laptop power]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/27/samsung-shows-off-fuel-cell-dock-with-one-month-of-laptop-power/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/27/samsung-shows-off-fuel-cell-dock-with-one-month-of-laptop-power/</guid><description><![CDATA[Fuel Cells are a great technological achievement but this is going down the path of printer ink cartridges.
