It's sort of blah, yet somehow exciting. Think of the day when we will be able to purchase laptops with extreme battery life, and we're actually able to finish a movie on the plane without plugging in! What a wonderful dream =)

As with electric cars the battery has always been the one downfall. Research like this will make it all happen. Can't wait till I can afford one, car and laptop.......................

Take THAT Steve Jobs !!! Most Apple products don`t even have a replaceable battery...so you have to take it to Apple to have the battery changed out (while they perform a wallet biopsy on you).
People now realize that Apple products are designed to maximize Mr Whipple`s profit...while shrinking your bank acct.
Got a Mac book AIR ? A 3GiPHONE ? Buy a LONG extension cord !

Dude... what? Did you huff some paint thinner this morning or something? I see no mention of Apple anywhere in this article... its about an HP. And also, last time I checked, the Macbook and Macbook Pro had replaceable batteries. Take THAT AppleSuxLeo!!!!

Mr Whipple says he is in "good health"...that`s what they always say just before famous people die !
Their stock would have tanked even FURTHER today if we knew the truth. New iPods in lots of new colors ! Bwahahahaha !
