Toshiba Supercharge Battery, where are you?

Some time about the early naughties the Toshiba Supercharge Battery was advertised as the new sliced bread, and Toshiba said that in a year from that we would hear much more about it.

What happened to it?

Charging to 80 percent in 5 minutes sounds attractive.

Sharing this range with so many satellites will not go over well with those in favour of uninterrupted Satellite TV!

I admit that the beamwidth of a DTH sat dish is only 2 degrees or less, but with that many sats, some of them ARE going to go through the beam occasionally, and then only Sponge Bob will look right...

Unquote.

That is 80 particles per galaxy!

I believe even the much abused Milky Way has a few more than that.

Does that sound like an accurate simulation to you liberals?

I can't be sure he didn't mean to exemplify it, and the article is therefore a joke..(?)
