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.

    Nikola Tesla tested this out even longer ago. I believe he has prior art.

    I remember back in the day when April Fools news stories were discreet and you had to spend a couple of seconds/minutes looking at them to see whether they were fake or not.

    Bring back the old days!

    Not to say April Fools day sucks, because everyone thinks they're a comedian.

    Is it just me, or has slashdot completely missed the point? Didn't April fools used to be about SUBTLEY making up BELIEVEABLE stories to try and trick people?

    This pink color scheme isn't even funny and adding "aprilfools" to the articles is just defeating the point.

    April fools used to be about clever wit, not just being as stupid as possible.

    At least think geek have the vaguely right idea, tho have perhaps got a bit overexcited and again missed the subtlety part.

    Mod this up! Informative. Tesla actually invented radio and thought himself a failure because his intent was to broadcast power. This idea is nearly 100 years old.mi
