Alcohol-powered laptops sound great. Is it just me, or would anyone else be tempted to … never mind. I’ll get my coat.

Seriously, I could use something like this. The battery in my Sony VAIO lasts long enough to get to the Windows login prompt … and then dies. In fact the battery is the only thing I have to complain about with the VAIO, but it really stinks that after only a couple of years it has been reduce to near useless.

How long does your battery last?
