The DU Effect

1. Giving more weigh to a subject than the subject deserves.

Example: Ted Nugent's appearance at the SOTU address. Was this even mentioned anywhere in the mainstream media? I don't think CSPAN ever showed him. Did it matter? All the threads discussing it gave it more attention than it deserved.

On Edit: Answering the frantic cries of Quinnox and ScreamingMeemie, I have changed the word "thread" to the word "post". Hopefully, I have now corrected DU's most heinous crime and can only throw myself at the feet of my accusers and beg for mercy.

Korean Researchers Invent Bendable Battery

"Researchers at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology in Korea have developed an imprintable and bendable lithium-ion battery that they claim is the world's first, and could hasten the introduction of flexible smartphones that leverage flexible display technology, such as Samsung's Youm flexible OLED.

Samsung first demonstrated this display technology at CES 2013 as the next step in the evolution of mobile-device displays. The battery could also potentially be used in other flexible devices that debuted at the show, such as a wristwatch and a tablet."
