Second-gen Eee PC a CES no-show

R50A GPS

"The R50A will incorporate GPS, always part of Microsoft's UMPC vision but never implemented until now."

Actually, the R50A predecessor (the R2H) features built-in GPS too - available since way back in August 2006! Also a long time before the N810.

Just thought I'd point that out.

Only bicarbonate of soda can save mankind!

Chemical attraction

"This reaction to produce sodium hydroxide also produces hydrogen and chlorine as byproducts"

So this is sounding a lot like hydrochloric acid - the dolphins would love that too. In fact, it seems as though they are producing chemicals that absolutely love to react with each other in a nice endothermic kind of way. I can't see this ending any way other than messily.

What's wrong with the old sinking the carbon dioxide to the bottom of the sea, or ejecting it into space on a carbon nanotube escalator?
