The matrix is beggining to evolve around us :x

...shame the franchise is degenerating :p

NO!! This is absurd! We can't use human blood as a new energy source. Ridiculous! We still have solar energy and hydro-electric to replace fossil fuel.

I can't accept the new discovery.

:(

Seriously cool!

Imagine, watches embedded into the skin or little video screens in the eyes, camera's in the back of your head :D

just so long as I don't have to stop by a blood repository to grab a liter to run my computer when I get home from work. Thats just a little to creepy, and instead of blood drives are we going to have power drives?:confused:

But I really like the possibilities for medical and "embedded" systems, just imagine all those poor people who have to strap a battery to themselves for their pacemakers now. The possibilities are truly endless.

Wow. That's really fascinating. I was thinking what DocEvil said as soon as I finished reading. Imagine the potential to harvest your own body "energy" to operate nanomachines, etc.

I would love to see what the battery life checkers would look like. Maybe just larger versions of those cheesey things Energizer uses on their packages. :)

Stick it in your ear! No really, stick the universal translator in your ear and it just works! And lose weight! :D

Dangerous thing to be doing ;)

As for plugging something in to lose weight, what a bloody good idea. If you could create the device so that it pretended to be using up the energy created, essentially fooling the body into thinking it's doing exercise... Marry that to the new research that says Drinking Coffee burns fat instead of Carbohydrates :D You get to sit and drink Coke & lose weight :D

Great idea, now anorexics don't have to be sick :( (I always feel sorry for people that bad :()

--Jakk:t Ah yes, with 'Don't Panic' in large friendly letters on the cover!

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Dont worry, im sure this technological advance is 'mostly harmless' :p

and what is the question?

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Why, The Ultimate Meaning Of Life, The Universe And Everyhing, of course :D

[BJUK]

OOOH no, brain the size of a planet and I am in this forum.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

What a bunch of hoopy froods :D

Very interesting, should definately be engineered to helping obese people gain some self worth rather than powering light blubs though.

[genesound]

Funny the article didn't mention any health ramifications this research may have from the consumption effect, but it seems like the obvious to me.

Resistance is futile. :eek:
