Solar Powered Beer Cooling … Huh?
Doesn’t make that much sense, but according to the researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, this is a possibility. The researchers are creating a thin-film solar power technology that can stick to all kinds of surfaces, including beer bottles. This technology will be capable of shrinking solar panels to micrometer-thin tiles that could potentially replace climate-control systems, or in the most practical case: keep beer colder, longer. Works for me. Hopefully it doesn’t increase the cost of beer that much, or I may be stuck drinking solar-powered Pabst Blue Ribbon. Ugh.

Beer-Filled USB Drive Raises Disturbing Questions | February 15th, 2009 |

Existential angst, the downfall of western civilization, and "customizable floaties" after the jump. Is capitalism really that great, if it leads to beer-filled USB flash drives with "optional customizable floating objects" inside? Should the Americans really be that pleased with their free speech, if it means I get emails from people who make flash drives with [....]
