I'd say my first experience gaming was banana toss or nibbles that shipped with Windows 3.1 on my dads 386. My first truly enjoyable gaming experience had to be Commander Keen on that very same computer 3 or 4 years later. I still remember the day i finished it, buried in the basement hiding from thanksgiving day relatives.

UNIMurph writes: Stanford University researchers have discovered a way to increase battery life tenfold by using silicon nanowires.

From the article:
"It's not a small improvement," Cui said. "It's a revolutionary development."
Citing a research paper they wrote, published in Nature Nanotechnology, Cui said the increased battery capacity was made possible though a new type of anode that utilizes silicon nanowires. Traditional lithium ion batteries use graphite as the anode. This limits the amount of lithium — which holds the charge — that can be held in the anode, and it therefore limits battery life.

The only problem i can see with this is forgetting to charge the devices that contain them. I already forget to charge my phone due to the battery lasting so long.
