Dual-use technology: a nightmare for secretive governments, but a dream come true for us.* No, we’re not
talking about hacking an Xbox to build your own missle-guidance system, but rather using an existing technology for new
and exciting (and hopefully legal) purposes. Samsung, for instance, is promoting a formerly-problematic aspect of
portable electronics (namely, their heat-dispersion) and cleverly marketing their sizzling cellies as “hand-warming
phones.” Although they claim that this is new tech developed at Russia’s Ural State Academy, we have a sneaking
suspicion that some shady OEM simply delivered a batch of defective batteries. “These batteries
overheat and explode, you say?
Rebrand and ship to Iceland! Bam!”
