Putting this on a spy plane would be worse than painting it with fluorescent paint.
Converting the radiation to heat means that to a sidewinder or other IR based system, this plane will be illuminating itself, thus making it an easy target.
So, you complain about misrepresentative headlines, and then subtitle yours with "Vampire-lust tales will rot your brain"... mild hypocrisy or underplayed irony?
I have an imported Zune (I'm form the UK), and have used both the Zune and iPod side by side. Honestly I can't see why so many uninformed people are slagging it off?!
Compared to the iPod it has better sound quality, clearer screen, more intuitive controls (why go clock-wise for down!?!?!?!?!), the software is easier to use than iTunes, It doesnt bug you with DRM crazed sync issues, It supports more formats (excluding own-brand formats).
Sure, the first gen (30GB) version had issues. But then who hasnt heard of iPods breaking down. My ex-girlfriends iPod locked up and had to be sent off for a solid month to be fixed. Most my 80GB Zune had was a firmware glitch, fixed by reset and automatic update. 5min vs. 4weeks.... you do the maths!
The reason iPod outsell all other brands is because of the branding! People dont go out to buy an MP3 player, they want an iPod! Why? Because they fixate on the brand that shouts the loudest, not the most appropriate player for their needs.
What about iRiver? Very good player died due to ignorant public.
People need to look at what technology is available and pick sensibly, not just wander zombie-like towards the bright lights of Apples minimalist shops

Great, so to compensate for short battery life they have included an inefficient recharge system! The genius of Crapple

Mining?
No-one else thinks the reason for re-visiting the moon is part of Deuterium mining plans?
Only downside is America won't get to attack anyone over fuel rights ;)
Zune: why do you hate it?
