It seems like the part of this technology that makes it economically viable, novel, and currently relevant is that they are synthesizing this material with nanoscale dimensions so that the aluminum is efficiently used in the reaction.

Very clever idea. Frankly, I'm hoping that it works and catches on in a big way, but only in the interest of possibly reducing the RIAA's incentive to take folk to court.

Don't bother posting it where I suspect you meant to either; it's not a funny caption.

I'm not going to speak on whether or not Engadget readers go to NYTimes for their political commentary. However, I am quite certain that no one wants to read your political commentary in the Engadget comments.

"...please send us some screencaps of your favorite picking sessions: we'll take the best action shots and post 'em up in a gallery."

@Will: I agree with you on couple points, however, no need for something like this to inspire an angry rant. It may be true that current electric cars are not as energy conservative as people make them out to be, but I would wager they are still largely better than a normal gas-car if you are counting production and maintenance. Don't piss and bitch about electric cars, encourage them. If the research keeps up to solve some of the problems you mention, they *could* become a part of the solution.

And you are right, nuclear energy is vastly underrated and overlooked, there needs to be much much more.
