"That would violate TI's policy" Wow what a wonderful company to work for, where that goes in the promotional video. "You didn't actually smile did you?.. Noooo that would violate TI's policy."

But then... What will we eat?

@muhyin depends on what peripherals are being used. LPM4 can be < 1 microamps

i would be impressed if it could be powered by one of my turds

[papalevies]

Big deal, GLaDOS could be powered from a potato

Doesn't the fruit just act as a salt bridge, to cause the reaction between the two different metals which actually form the cell?

those French fags would get the grapes

I thought it is some kind of joke when I saw the fruits there :)

Now seriously, when we will buy laptops battery lifetime will be written like this:

"4 hours with 200g lemon"

"6 hours with 300g lemon"

@smrtt92 there will be another 20-30 years and they will make batteries that we can eat :)
