Clearly, you have never developed anything, ever. Go look at a driver version number, then ask Nvidia why they bother updating it over 200 times a year, since it clearly works!
Martin Cooper said on the show "How William Shatner Changed the World", well, right from Wiki:
"The show then examines the life of Martin Cooper, the chief engineer at Motorola, who invented the cell phone. Cooper states that Star Trek was his inspiration for the cell phone, and discusses the similarities between the modern day cell phone and a Star Trek communicator. He also discusses how Star Trek introduced the concept of computer voice recognition dialing."
While i was reading that, my Galaxy S3 interrupted me with a Star Trek reference from a friend via text. Scifi is only Fiction until someone watches your show and says: "Wow, that communicator thing is cool. I want one. My name is Martin Cooper."
90% of laptops run on 3 cell series, 2 cell parallel packs. They only reason they don't fit is so they can force you to buy new packs. that is a fact. That is why Think pads run on ~16 volts, while the rest of the world uses 19v.
