the Martix movie’s people battery powered robots doesn’t seem so far fetched anymore. they’ve created:

a rodent catching table that powers the TV

a clock that powers itself by catching flies.

a fly powered lamp shade

who it works

The pests are lured in and digested by an internal microbial fuel cell. This exploits the way microbes generate free electrons and hydrogen ions when oxidising chemicals for energy. Electronics can be powered by directing the electrons around an external circuit before reuniting them with the ions.

and a video

Went over to ultra 7 cinema at eastwood to watch the new Transformers movie. Was actually contemplating whether to watch it on imax, but decided to watch it in the comfort of a recliner seat instead. The movie starts out with a lot of action, and sustains it up until the end. Unfortunately for me, my ticket included unlimited popcorn and drinks. Which would mean I would have to empty my bladder at least once for the whole two and a half hours. Too bad I didn’t bring along one my baby’s diapers.
Some would say that the movie had more action than what a human mind can digest. but heck, if I wanted to watch a sci-fi flick with nothing but pure conversation, I would have rewatched the man from earth. long story short, Michael Bay made sure we’d get more bang for our buck on this sequel.

Some take away thoughts from the movie. A warning though, these would constitute as spoilers, so do not read on unless you want to be spoilt.
