Re:Batteriser: a gadget that extends alkaline battery life on Tuesday June 02, 2015 @12:36PM (#9647036)
We need this out as soon as possible. I personally think so because then we will manufacture less alkaline based batteries and save the environment. Also then things will be more efficient. We as people should protect this invention against the big company giants. Who will definitely try to kill it.

I request you all to get it out there and make the best of it.

Give them a situation where they have to deal with the problem and compare how well they handle it. Like if you are a product company, ask them to act as marketing and to sell the product to a potential buyer but the customer is orthodox but wealthy. See if they can crack the deal!!!

You can email me, I am good at such scenarios. I would love to help!

I prefer Google Voice, from one place you can dial out to many countries. Also rates change accordingly. And the rates are very competitive against other service.

Best headphones for work

Hi, I am looking for a pair of headphones that would be great to be used by a Quality assurance analyst when doing testing. I get distracted with the sound of keyboard tapping around me. So I need something that is not too bulky but also not very expensive.
