The E-Cat has been replicated?

"E-Cat" is short for "Energy Catalyzation" which is more or less cold-fusion.

Thanks. I was wondering what this was about; my best guess was the CueCat from one of Joel Spolsky's old columns...

hahaha, I was thinking the exact same thing, literally cue cat and all too. Even funnier is my undergrad degree was, originally, applied physics before switching to EE. I follow science when I can but boy do I feel out of the loop sometimes. Reading your post gave me a nice chuckle.

Glad you liked it!

I just checked, and CueCats are as low as $7 on eBay. Barcode readers convert barcodes to plaintext (and barcode printers go the other way), so CueCats are good for more than just scanning ads...

I wonder if there's room for a CueCat Users' Group. :)
