"If you're in a warm room, for instance, you'll have much lower performance, since it requires the differential to work. Of course, maybe the information available isn't wholly accurate, but that's my understanding based on the description."

If the chip operates at a relatively high temperature a differential shouldn't be hard to reach. For example, with the cell operating at 600 degrees there is not much of a differential change between room temperature and plus/minus 10 degrees.

The article hinted at efficiency between twenty to thirty percent. Wow. This would be a huge leap above thermocouple efficiency, such as in radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTG's), which supposedly are only three to seven percent efficient.

The applications for this are huge and heat sources are readily available. I, for one, would prefer an alcohol powered cell over a RTG in my computer any day. That whole radiation poisoning thing could ruin my bowling average.

I understand what most of you are saying, and for the most part agree. I'm still using my D70s, and getting pics that still get compliments from people. On the other hand, I've been wanting a 70-200 for a while now. Not sure if this falls under the superfluous 'let's-buy-more-gear' mentality, or the 'i-want-to-try-new-type-of-vision' mentality.

What do you think?

I've been doing most of my hobby with an 11-16 and 35mm.

You deserve another, longer lens for sure.

inevitably your right to do "whatever" starts to be limited when your actions infringe on somebody else's rights or cause harm to others.

In any event, federal/state/local governments all have the right to regulate commerce so your "rights" when it comes to operating a business are already limited and regulated

Fair enough...

So how would me exercising my right to refuse to sell X to Y infringe upon Y's "rights"?

Did I take something from them? Did I commit violence upon them?

Something I am seeing more and more which is downright terrifying/befuddling to me is the notion that not giving someone something is the same as taking something from them. Example: Tax cuts. I hear time and time again that tax cuts "cost" the government money. Excuse me?

If I decide to take a day of work off unpaid, is it the same as my employer "taking" money from me? No! They simply did not give it to me!

I think most people that show hatred to sandy bridge CPU are owners of late 2010 MBA. Bias imo.

You're already dead. You only appear on forums. Go run naked in the streets. No one will able to see you. ;)

a big LOL

None of the stores around me (10+ stores) have the 16gb in stock. Any of you considering the 32GB for $399?

I'm sorry you didn't understand me. I really am and didn't mean to insult you.

But I didn't put a smiley because it wasn't really all that sarcastic. It was a pretty straighforward comment about how Macrumors posters are temperamental and sometimes hypocritical.

Including yourself?
:D
