I read that paper before. And in countries where AC supply oscillates at 50Hz, how are you gonna get 1Mhz for resonance to work? You'll lose lotsa power generating the high frequency magnetic field (if i'm not wrong).
but unlike electromagnetic waves, magnetic waves does not affect humans because they don't easily interact with the environment.
furthermore, they actually demonstrated the technology with a lappy.. i guess the magnetic field ain't strong enough to affect HDD. I mean, your laptop itself has a magnetic source (i.e your speakers). Thus, if that ain't bothering the HDD and the product is tested and does not show any signs of HDD issues, I guess it should be ok?
Not too sure abt credit card though. Anyone wanna try? CES 2008 is still on!! LOL!!

Those KM transmission used huge antennas and high frequencies which i doubt is feasible for daily application.
prob looking into ways to search through their damn OS much faster LOL
