    Thought this might be of interest and I'm sorry if this is old news to many of you. This seems like a cheap and painless way to increase battery life.

    here is the article

    and product homepage.

    Thoughts?

    yeah, even though it is verified it sounds a heckuva lot like voodo magic to place a sticker on a battery and have it magically last 10% longer. this news was posted on slashdot and roundly lambasted and it's likely any tests that say it does extend battery life have not been done properly with the use of a placebo and all that.

    One has to wonder just how a foil sticker would do the trick. I'd like to see some tests to see if this technology does was it says.
