[QUOTE=ijyt;19627366][url=http://www.nokia.com/about-nokia/research/demos/the-morph-concept]And yet they came up with this.[/url][/QUOTE] I wasn't totally sure if Nokia did the morph concept, good to know. That makes it even more ironic. They spend shit tons of R&D and marketing design to come up with the Morph concept... a concept that doesn't actually exist in the real world yet but is highly futuristic. And yet they deny a WORKING concept phone that runs on sugars because it's too futuristic? :v:
I bet the bluetooth signal decays really quickly though.
THIS PHONE RuNS ON GOOD OL' FASHIONED COLA
Too futuristic? Psh they're just jealous they didn't make it first. I hope she gets a patent.
Surely they could just extract the necessary ingredients from cola and just use that to make it more efficient?
Why not just use sugar water?

But electricity isn't that dirty. And replacing a phone with cola one won't reduce the waste that is made when producing electricity anyway.
[QUOTE=Re-Con;19627170]why coca cola though?[/QUOTE] Because nobody wants to waste there Pepsi.
That son of a bitch will have to pry my coke from my cold dead hands.
[QUOTE=Hunterbrute;19628292]Its not more powerful. Not always. Hybrid cars are proof of this really. Society is largely based on Oil products, if a company were to start manufacturing full 100% electric cars that lasted 16 hours straight driving and only needed to be recharged for 4 hours then you would have conflicting technologies. People would move towards buying the more efficient product and many people would lose their jobs. This is why many companies scratch these futuristic ideas and go for a transitional technology, much like a hybrid car that utilizes both the new and old. This gives companies time to adjust to new technologies, but hey I guess most of Facepunch is to young and stupid to understand simple economic business plans.[/QUOTE] I respectfully disagree. A car is a lot different from a phone. Something like a car that has to charge like that requires specially made charging stations, a way to regulate who owes what and how to make sure they pay for it, while this requires something we already have: Coke! And I REALLY don't see how it would be different for a phone with quantum computing, or why you would compare that to a car. That would make a difference on performance and the capabilities, but it wouldn't be a whole different procedure to charge the phone. Cars would be and are a whole different procedure to charge on the other hand.
As long as it doesn't take my zero away from me, i'll be happy
[QUOTE=Hunterbrute;19627417]Think of it this way, would it be a smart idea to go from 1Mhz processors to Quantum Computing? The implications on Society would cause drastic changes and a period between the changes wouldnt be pretty. You have to slowly ease into new technologies.[/QUOTE] no you don't
I may actually consider owning a cell phone now.
