A waste of nanotime

Some bunch of scientists have invented nanowires, a fibrous material that if stitched into your clothes can generate power to charge devices like an iPod, a mobile phone or an electric screwdriver - if that was your want.

What I find incredible is that in an age of fuel shortages and energy crises, there are people working on this bullshit. Honestly, is a plug in charger that cumbersome that it needs to be circumnavigated in the race for technological nirvana? "Sorry world but the bad news is that we've no fossil fuels left. The good news however, is that we've figured out a way to let you charge your mp3 player while walking. Onward and upward!"

In related news, there is still no cure for the common cold.
