A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
fuel cells suck in cold conditions... dunno how they are taking care of that...
you can use a nice towel ... 360 style
So do any batteries
WOW - i wonder how much it weighs.. it doesnt look too bulky.
if the price isnt too high this would be the ideeal accesory for anyone with a laptop who travels extensively and to remote areas.
-and who knows?
Perhaps the pig will sing?
Don't you mean "the pig will fly?"
Look man, I don't tell you how to train YOUR pig, okay??

Had to be done
Now there's a silk purse!
Thats.....like...amazing.....=O
Just, imagine...a larger one...in a desktop...with the monitor sharing from the power supply...
Just whack it anywhere, boot it up and you've got maybe a quad core server running in a power cut!!
ooooo you could go camping with such a beast....gaming in say, the Amazon...
Even LAN partys!! aha
The possibilities are fracking amazing
I'll best my next paycheck at McDonald's that this thing will have a proprietary interface preventing me from attaching it to my UMPC even though it is made by Samsung. FOK!
ERGH! Typo. Edit would be nice.
Edit would be nice. I've asked for it before. Engadget? Can you hear us?
I will be totally happy if they can slim it down to 1/4 of the size and weight, and give me 1 week worth of battery life.
Previous versions of this required a dock and a seperate fuel cell cartridge. you get one month of use from just the red plastic box or is the black round thing (with the laptop on it) required as well or it's just a stand for the display? sorry about the long run on sentence... i hope it makes sense.
The black part is just the stand.
*facepalm*
"Squeeee!"
sue-eeee!
Uhhhhhhh... I think all you guys are missing the reference in the title.
Think: Deliverance
Or listen to the beginning of Revolting C0ck's "Beers, Steers and Queers".
"You shure have some purty lips, city boy. (background: "cityslicker")"
"Now let's just see you drop your pants!"
"Wha?!?!?"
"That's right, take'm right off"
"Squeal now, squeal like a pig, boy!"
Captain Obvious saves the day!
What about generic 220v three pin mini generators based on this tech that you could carry around. That would have limitless applications.
The site just says up to a month of use. But it does not give an idea on how many hours a day you can use the laptop to get a month of use. I can't help but wonder how many hours of run time do you get off a fuel cell? Then how much does it cost to refuel it?
I'm ready
Fall down go boom?
It's 240 hours run time (8 hours a day @ 30 days.) Which also means leaving your computer on 24 hours a day for 10 straight days without needing to charge. Sounds good to me.
But why methanol? Ethanol would have been so much more convenient, as for those of us where home-distilling is legal could make our own fuel.
Plus image the good times when refilling: "wun for you.....and wun fo meh....I love you little piggy wiggy....hic...."
I wonder if anyone has done something like that while refilling their american car.
"Daddy, why is that man convulsing on the ground next to pump 3?"
You know, if they found gasoline to be like meth or something, we could actually see progress around here. ".. and that's why we're switching to alcohol. For the children. Now take Brazil for example: "
That's until the membrane fails, right?
The fuel cartridge doesn't last a month, does it?
>It's 240 hours run time (8 hours a day @ 30 days.)
I wonder, how long will that power an Alienware laptop? Heh I bet my mALX would eat that thing all up, and it would last maybe 2 weeks out of the proposed month...But still, that is AMAZING battery life nonetheless.
