OMG WIRELESS EXTENSION CORDS!!! LOL!!!

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-thats-what-i'm-talking-about dept.

True ChAoS writes "Using the latest in microwave energy transmission technology, the Wireless Extension Cords (WECs) 'beam' power right where you need it. Broadcasting in the 7.2GHz range, the WECs will not interfere with wireless networks, phones, or Bluetooth components. Be sure to heed all the warnings in the instruction manual; the microwaves used are relatively safe, but you don't want to cook your computer (or coworkers) by mistake." ThinkGeek is also owned by OSTG.

  13. I was actually asked this in real life. by affliction · · Score: 3, Funny

    I know it's April Fools, but this story is no joke.

    I was on site fixing someone's DSL when the lady asked me if there was any solution to her problem.

    What problems?, I ask.

    All those cables that go into the computer box, she replies.

    I tell her that wireless routers are available and that I could purchase one for her.

    No, no, she tells me, I meant those big blacks ones that plug into the wall, they really limit my ability to move the computer around.

    My jaw drops to the floor. I tell her that they haven't made much progress in the last few years on Wireless Power Cords, it's been a tough problem to crack.

    I watch the wheels in her head turn and she tells me: Well, maybe in a few years they will have figured it out, just look at my cell phone, it doesn't have any wires.

    Of course, I tell her, the best and the brightest are studying day and night.
