Re:For what it costs, it shouldn't break.
What about a flexible 'phone that you wrap around your wrist and wear as a watch, but it can fold out into a keypad and a flexible screen or just a large touchscreen. Sort of like this idea: http://www.gizmowatch.com/entry/nokia-4g-designer-phone/ maybe you could find a way to charge the 'phone using the swinging motion of walking around to charge the mobile phone.

Re:But its ok for Google?
Lol, yeah who's gonna build an EMP Generator?
Probably not for beginners anyway.
http://www.wikihow.com/Build-an-Emp-GeneratorSome people know about the mechanics and pitfalls of an EMP generator.

Some skip the trial and error and obtain plans.

Much, much more out there on the subject in varying sizes and effective ranges including directional applications.http://servv89pn0aj.sn.sourcedns.com/~gbpprorg/mil/emp/index.htmlFunny, yes!
Hell Yeah!
A netfull of geeks discussing and trading EMP tips and someones worried about homeland security.
Might as well take down the net. You can build many many controversial items with help from the internet. I suppose though that once theres actually a need for these items, it won't matter much if anyone cares about the legalities of such. -

Re:Uh Huh
Actually, a friend of mine who used to work for Nortel and now for Alcaltel-Lucent (the division he works in was bought) told me that the only limit on bandwidth along fibre is our ability to separate the individual signals traveling along the fibre. After that, the next limitation is the speed of light.
For example, the record for data transfer is 26.5 TB/s. -
Re:Wow
I DARE you to take steel wool to a BD-ROM and play it flawlessly in a Blu-Ray player. Throw it across the room a few times like a frisbee, run it along your carpet, data-side down. Scratchless? No, clearly not. Scratch resistant? Yes, yes indeed. It needs it, because Blu-Ray's data surface is so close to the outer coating.
This has been done.

A quick Google search will find lots of examples. Actually the Blu-ray disk did exceptionally well although from my personal experience I had a BD disk with a lot of finger marks on it and it would not play properly. Solution clean the disk with liquid soap and water and pat dry, worked fine after that. I even inspected it for scratches and could not find any. Of course if you want to abuse a BD disk like you suggested it will eventually fail but then again so will any disk be it CD, DVD or even HD-DVD. -
Macs with transparent displays
There is a bunch of concepts for how to use the transparent displays. Most of all I like this: http://www.gizmowatch.com/entry/eye-freezing-futu
