Self-cooling beer cans will be the "killer app" of the 21st century.

Oh hurry, please! My electric bill has gone up $100 per month in the last 18 months. Is this technology too good to be true?

I wish Willie Green was still here.

He could bemoan the 'problem' of the loss of millions of heating and airconditioning-repair jobs because of this technology.

This sounds very interesting in the way of computers as well. I wonder if they could coat processors with this stuff?

Ice is civilization.

Speaking of: I have a solution to Global Warming.

We coat the planet in this material, and set the thermostat to 76 degrees.

Viola. Problem solved.

They've got a abstract that's over my head at the website! But it sounds like you need solar energy to get it to work. So maybe you'd have to put your computer out in the sun to cool the cpu down! :-)

Yeah.

He got a layoff from Free Republic.

I guess his job here was outsourced.

It is too good to be true...not to worry--the oil companies will squelch this technology so electric companies continue to need their product, so they can continue to earn record breaking profits on the 'free market' of their monopolized goods. I predict they will kill this the same way they helped kill the electric car.

You registered here about 40 days before I did.

And speaking as a newbie: I hate you for it.

;^)
