Microsoft Grabs Fuel Cells

 

Microsoft Grabs Fuel Cells
 Fuel cell specialist Medis Technologies says it has started
production on a recharging device for Microsoft.

The device uses a proprietary alkaline fuel to recharge batteries for
an as-yet-unnamed portable device when the user is unable to find an
electrical outlet.

Medis wouldn't say which device its recharger will pair with, and
Microsoft hasn't commented yet. Likely suspects supposedly include the
Zune--Yeah, remote battery recharging! And pink! That'll turn the
product around!  But feel free to make up your own theory about a
handheld Xbox or some new kind of superphone.

The thing is, you'll have to drain and refill it several times in order
to get it charge. Oh, and you have to hold the charge button in for 5
seconds. And finally, once charged the device will only work
intermittently, but it will remember everything you do while it was
temporarily dead, and on return to life it will immediately do everything
you tried to do to it while it was dead. You know, just like the comcast
DVR does... it too uses MS OS (Enhanced by Microsoft) What you say?You dont
have a comcast DVR? oh you are in for a treat! What fun it is to press
FastForward-2 and then have it completely stop responding to the remote for
the next 45 seconds!
