Water Powered Cellphone By 2010 From Samsung

Today is Earth Day. So it's fitting that Samsung has announced they have a prototype fuel cell that's just water. The process is simple, the metal plate turns water into hydrogen gas . So it's technically hydrogen gas fuel cell. The current prototype can power a cellphone for about 10 hours of talk time. Samsung projects it will hit the market by 2010.

Found New Headphones

So I was doing my usual weekly bargin hunting. I was at Microcenter when P told me to come check out something.

Low and behold, they put a bunch of Audio Technica headphones on close out. I was like "No freaking way!". I bought a pair of ATH-EW9 and a pair of ATH-EM9r. Pictures below. I'll add more pictures of my own later. The cheery wood one is specially pretty and sounds lovely too. How good of a deal? I paid $51 for the $329 ATH-EW9, and $37 for the $299 ATH-EM9r.
