Remember those self-heating cans of coffee? They were great if you like your coffee served at room temperature and tasting like shit.

Did they not have similar with baked beans, soup etc, you activated a chemical reaction by pulling a strip something like that?

Aye, given the news from the US and Oz and China it looks like we will see a breakthrough in price parity, the installation of PV seems to be increasing even though subsidies are being whittled down.
And China seems to be the place where EVs will overtake The ICE.

Bread that you don't have to cut yourself. You know it would already be in slices. No idea what such a thing would be called, or indeed, if it would be possible.

We could call it 'safety bread'.

sales of wristwatches will exceed sales of portable telephones for the first time since 1994

I am not sure*, but it seems to be a persistent idea. Here's a BBC article from 1999 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/276870.stm

This has got to be the coolest gadget yet for the kitchen: a fridge freezer that is hooked up to the Internet.
Screenfridge, as it is called, allows you to send and receive e-mail, watch television, pay bills and handle personal banking. You can also keep food in it.

. Me, too.

I think its persistence is to do with the way things you wouldn't normally put together get bundled together in technology. And the n people get used to and expect the pairings.

I'm actually like Count Arthur Strong on this one. Why would you put a hifi on your phone?

 

[danny la rouge]

Its.

Fucking smartphone.

Wind and solar reaching parity with FF within the year? Hoped for but didn't really expect it, OK just in some developed areas. But exciting in its own way.
