Mouse Uses RFID Instead of Batteries

Posted by Zonk on from the bluetooth-concept-replacement dept.

ValourX writes "NewsForge (part of OSTG, like Slashdot) has a review of a mouse that is powered by RFID (and yes, it works with Linux). It's cordless and uses no batteries -- you just have to keep the mouse within 2 inches of the mousepad for it to work. What else could be powered by RFID?"

    Gee, if they bump the power up to the mouse it could kill disease organisms in the bloodstream... going through yer hand. hahaha FINALLY. Someone has figured a way to make computers do something besides kill us. The genius who made this probably doesn't know he has brought the Solution to Mankind's problems. Altho, of course, I thought I was the One. But hey, there's room for many on the podium. http://free.seekon.com/Strongheart10 . All kidding aside tho, disease germs floating in the bloodstream are vulnerable to magnetic radiation; their cell walls aren't like Superman's cape.
