Toshiba today announced that it has developed two prototypes of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) units for mobile audio players

I honestly would not be surprised if some idiots decided to try and drink the methanol.

If I remember the idea behind fuel cells and burning alchohol, the exhaust should be water vapor and carbon dioxide.

Dammit, Bobboau, you're stone cold sober! Promise me you won't get behind the wheel without some kind of alcohol in your system!
