Fly-eating robot powers itself
"Scientists have come up with a robot that powers itself by eating houseflies.
The EcoBot II uses human sewage as bait to catch the insects. It then digests the flies, before their exoskeletons are turned into electricity, which enables the robot to function."

Based on that I wonder if someone can make a computer/laptop that can be powered by 'eating' the bugs in the software? It might starve on a Mac, and could run for a long time on some MS products? <bg>
