Hydrogen Fuel Cell For carmakers, it's the ultimate green machine: a system that runs on hydrogen and oxygen and spouts only heat and water vapor. GM says it could start mass-producing fuel-cell cars by 2010. But makers of consumer electronics may beat them to the punch. In two years NEC plans to introduce a fuel-cell-powered laptop that runs 40 hours between charges--very handy in, say, a massive blackout. Portable fuel-cell power generators sell for a mere...

...there is this paradox about it: it's one of our most reliable sources of laughter, the subject of, just last year, some of our most interesting and weirdly entertaining movies. Punch-Drunk Love, Adaptation and About Schmidt are all bleak comedies about emotionally stunned or stunted people trying, in their herky-jerky ways, to avoid a completely comatose condition...
