I'm typing this on a beautiful Sony Trinitron CRT with another one sitting next to it with my homework on it, and a third one as a tv to my left.
The Trinitron WILL LIVE ON!

Way to throw racism in there to make yourself look like even more of an idiot.

Batteries in current laptops are made from a few 3.6v or 3.7v lithium cells in series-parallel to raise the amount of available voltage and amperage to values requiring simpler power conversions.

Your car battery is composed of many large 2v cells in series.

The article's author was commenting that Toshiba should make a battery using this technology to make a laptop-suitable battery.
The article also does not show the capacity of the cells. They are so heavy because they are large capacity they have, required for industrial applications. Your comment is like saying a D battery is the only type of alkaline battery able to be made and that AAA's do not exist and cannot be made without significant changes to the technology.

Bottom line: If Toshiba wanted to, they could make a battery suitable for use in a laptop any day.

Hey Nov 23 is my birthday, too. =) It's a great time for a birthday with black friday, thanksgiving, and getting all those holiday release games.

I definitely would not want to face the Prophets, they're a mean, mean bunch.

Perfect timing, the sound just died on my 10 year old SDTV.

Shiny!

Go lucky number six!

Crap guess what laptop model I'm read this story on!
(Hint: It's the one that burst into flames in this story)

I fail to see how this has anything to do with our President.

THEY STOLE MY IDEA. For the past year or so I've had a pair of harmon/kardon speakers and 3 lantern batteries zip tied to my bike. I have 20W of power blasting music thru town on my bike!
