What even makes them think that the U.S. has the right to tinker with the global climate.
I'm an american citizen, not a U.S. hater, but we don't have the jurisdiction to make changes that will affect the global climate.
Google's applications all run based on javascript. The current browsers didn't run javascript very fast, so performance lagged. Google released a browser and spat really fast javascript in the face of mozilla and microsoft. Next thing you know firefox and ie have new releases with faster javascript to compete with chrome. People switching to chrome is just a side affect for google. They're goal of making other browsers faster is completed. I have to say, evil or not, they're really smart guys, and know how to get what they want.
but unnecessary. Instead of trying to create a new standard, what's wrong with sending an http request, and receiving an rtp response. Let the device do the text-to-speech conversion, like they do already.
I just can't imagine an entirely new protocol being adopted when it is already very possible using existing technologies...
I am not an expert to answer, but I think most people's fears about wireless power causing caner are misguided. The power is not sent electrically through the air, not is it transmitted through gamma rays or any other radio waves. It is a high frequency alternating magnetic field. Magnetic fields alone have been shown to have no negative affects on living organisms. Besides, I'm pretty sure if this thing is really dangerous, someone will find out before there is one in your home, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Short range wireless power is alright, it makes charging a little easier, but the real revolution is going to be when an efficient method of mid-range wireless power is developed.
If you can get wireless power in an entire room then we can finally ditch the last cord to our laptops, which is what consumers are waiting for when they ask for wireless power. If you have to put the items on a tray, it is a little easier, but it might as well be a dock or a physical connection. If you have power to an entire room, your cell phone and mobile devices can charge in your pocket without you worrying, bringing the real convenience.

I really wish I could believe that.

I could swear I was really playing virtual skeeball!
we've gone from 24 to 32 players being fine in Quake/QW CTF down to 8 - 16 ...
then back up to 11 million.
I'd like to see this go a bit father.
I'd like to see this go 32 bits farther.

Think about what you just said.... Let it sink in.... Apology accepted.
Wait, you mean it will be like C-Span, but whenever i want? I don't know if youtube has the bandwidth.
My dear marketing chums, what ads will people with their middle fingers extended at the camera be forced to enjoy?.

A techie might cringe when the laws of physics get abused.
At least all those windmills will help keep them cool.
