Sugar Sugar

Filed Under:
Sure, this post could be about an open source CRM product, or about the operating system that powers the One Laptop Per Child efforts. Heck, it could  be about a place to ski. Or even a cheap tactic to throw in a cheesy pop video:



But it's not. It's about sugar.

(CH2O)n.

Sucrose.

The stuff that makes tea a bearable beverage, and makes a fabulous addition to pizza dough.

Seems that sugar might just end up in our laptops, cell phones and other electronic toys before too long. Unfortunately, as demoed by Sony it only creates enough power for you to listen to bad movie soundtrack music from 1983.



I thought that Judge Reinhold and Chevy Chase were going to show up and tell us that they'd solved the crime.

Anyway, from the video it appears that there are still size issues to deal with. Still, a battery that runs on a renewable resource housed in a biodegradable case sounds like a pretty decent idea. Of course, it would be even more ideal if the battery could use the excess carbs that you eat. It would put an end to low carb diets. Imagine if laptops ran on human carbs. "I'll have a milkshake and some key-lime pie. I've got a long flight and a lot of work to get done on the way."
