  1. Re:Ummm by dwibby · · Score: 1 · on Wireless Power Companies Merge, But No Real-Life Devices Yet

    Well, considering it uses something along the lines of magnetic induction--"inductively coupled power circuit that dynamically seeks resonance," as they put it--neither Mr. Barnum nor Mr. Goldberg are very much involved here. They have a few cool prototype they demoed at CES2008. It seems that they're aiming at battery chargers more than the power grid. You could probably also read a few of their patent if you'd like a more in depth explanation. It also sounds like it automagically handles charging multiple types of devices simultaneously.

    For what it's worth, I wouldn't mind getting rid of a bunch of mutually incompatible AC adapters for a single charging surface.

    The GPL issues have apparently been resolved and Gamepark mentions so on their site:
    Please stop posting to this board about GPL. Dignsys will post up the sources to the new firmware version 1.3.0 next week on http://source.gp2x.de./ They intend to release it once the binaries to said firmware have been released.

  4. Alternative CMS to Drupal: Xaraya by kjh1 · · Score: 0, Offtopic · on Dan Gillmor Launches Grassroots Journalism

    For those of you looking for an Open Source CMS system, you may also want to consider Xaraya (which sprang out of the PostNuke project). Xaraya is currently closing in on its 1.0 release, and we've been running a site successfully since the 0.9.9 version. Extensibility in the form of modules and hooks feature prominently in Xaraya as well. And if you're still confused about which CMS system to pick (or want to be confused!), take a look at cmsmatrix.org.
