Kindling for the e-reader flame war
The oil of the eucalyptus tree is so flammable that hazy clouds of the stuff can ignite under the hot Australian summer sun. Swathes of oil-fuelled fires take out entire forests, leaving the tenacious eucalypts to rise again.
From the charred remains of the Kindle fire, Eucalyptus also weathers the [...]
Friends don’t let friends drink and multi-touch
