Ever been on a really long airplane flight and your battery gives out about 3/4 of the way through your Seinfeld: Season 5 DVD? No longer will you miss George trying to get that Frogger machine across the street thanks to Samsung. Samsung has released details about their new Sense Q35 laptop (pictured with gianormous battery). They say it will be powered by a really ugly fuel cell battery that can get around eight hours of juice.
Eight hours is wonderful and worth the extra weight and all, but when it explodes, expect mushroom clouds of maximum proportions.

I like it because it’s a first step… don’t worry, in a few years we will all be carrying a little bottle of hydrogen with us, purchased, of course, at 5000x its actual value… consider hydrogen the next “ink cartridge” that will let companies make gynormous markups. Consider that just about everything on this earth has hydrogen in it (yes, even water)… we are only a few decades away from being able to dump trash into our laptops to make it run, just like in Back to the Futures deLorean!

Maybe I am SERIOUSLY missing something here, but wouldn’t these devices NOT be allowed on airplanes due to the restrictions about what you can bring onto an airplane. I mean, how soon is the FAA (etc) going to start allowing Methanol as a carry-on item for passengers.
