ok number 2 on your list is exactly what i am referring too. And IMO that would be the biggest challenge to effectively hide. Most likely insulation could be used, but again there would have a to be a way to vent that heat.
But this technology is still a big leap and would provide invaluable protection on a battlefield, or for police. Now if this can "cloak" IR energy then this could be used for insulation for fire fighters or any object that needs protection from heat..
If the material is 'bending the light' around the object then the IR would be bent with it, however if the object the material is covering is generating heat, then the cloak material would absorb that heat and emit it as IR radiation. From what the article says I do not see how it can cloak that.

I do think cell phones can provide valuable data about traffic conditions and such, but much beyond that... i think would be pushing a line that has already been pushed much too far.
I mean i personally would rather live with a some risk and full freedom, then limited freedom and some risk.
Sure they look fine, but they don't support the 96 kHz audio sampling rate. By sticking with DVDs, you're missing out on a vast spectrum of inaudible sound.
Yeah but i don't want my dogs to miss out on that great audio... To bad they will miss out on the that stunning video quality...

"His cloak is perfect... no tachyon emissions, no residual antiprotons." on a serious note, would this not be vulnerable to infra-red cameras?
Horray we get to pay more money for DRM content.
Every try using Crossover? Worked for me with the previous QuickBooks version...
wow i love my country, maybe i should put in my patent for the wheel and bi-pedal locomotion
See this is what happens when the writers go on strike, we have to create our own entertainment...
