Mitochondria = midichlorians

This reminds me, what ever happened to Dean Kamen's device that purifies water, while simultaneously generating power?

LOL! I thought the same thing! I'm sure that's the excuse the devs came up with after the fact, too. ;)

I actually remember the same thing about the Eternal Champions video game, the Earth rotated the wrong way in the short title cinematic. It really bugged me at the time, and that was like 20 years ago.

I'm curious to know how (and how well) consumer kits like Dryel work in comparison.

I seem to remember an article recently (not sure if it was on here or giz or another similar site) that described a way to duplicate basic scientific constructs using materials that might be available in a pre-tech/post-apocalyptic setting. For example, simple materials that could be used to generate electricity,…

I kept my deactivated Pre charging on its Touchstone... until I recently found it dead and with a battery which had bulged to twice its original thickness. :( Maybe now that webOS is open-source, though, we'll see a way to port it to our Android phones someday.

Go to 1:28 in the video. Is it fairly obvious to anyone else that the girl is black? Her "loving father" basically pulled a Michael Jackson on her and turned her white.

That is the sound of a sound director losing his job from any future Oscar broadcasts.

+1!

Isn't an "anti-electron" actually called a positron? I don't suppose it is "wrong" to call it an anti-electron, though, since I've never heard a different term for an anti-proton. It just seemed odd to hear him use the term.

I can't describe how much I miss using the Touchstone charger my Palm Pre had since upgrading to a GSII, especially since I also had one mounted in my car. I would love this to become available!

Don't count on that. Many 1%'ers are lobbying to eliminate the expiration of copyrights and patents entirely. Even Shakespeare could end up being removed from the public domain as a result.

IIRC, the "Stainless Steel Rat" books had the characters speaking Esperanto.

My toilet is in a smaller doored room within my master bathroom, and I don't think it has a wall socket for this. Oh well.

Impressive armor, certainly, but I'm sorry to say I don't really get a Batman vibe off it. Takes more than just slapping a Batman icon on a sword or belt.

And to back that up, I give you two words: Highlander 2.

Buckaroo did a better job running into a mountain.

I was basing my comment on info from the first four hits from Googling "illegal to record police", which included a 2010 Gizmodo article on this very topic, along with a couple other good sources.

This and Zeno seem to be able to treat two different kinds of breakouts. The only problem is, unless you are a dermotologist, I doubt most people would understand their descriptions of the various kinds of zits.
