There are certainly no "waves" escaping from a battery, thus there is no high frequency apparatus inside such a device. The technical staff who wrote this "story" on batmax.com should no that the internal chemical compound of a battery does not radiate anything while decaying. Entropy in a battery can or will not change by encapsulating the battery in any materials.
Somehow everything is slipping out of the + - poles Watson, please stop it with your hand!
This is fairly good news for your lawyer if you are in trouble. The letter is truly an evidence of shooting in darkness. It proves that the MPAA have no clue whatsoever.
IP evidence would be turned down in court, because of the superficial evidence on this matter. ... and they no it. It is just there kind of scare tactics.
A countersuit could bring them in a bad situation, where they would have to rethink there tactics, because the cost would be to high.
Back in the old days Americans was free and liberated; nowadays it seems we Europeans are a little freer as in beer. The government is controlled by the people for the people in the spirit of democracy. USA is on the way to become more like a totalitarian state where the people are controlled by there government - the fusion of all intelligence department services would indeed speed this up.
I however do trust that the legal systems will protect the individual citizens from being gagged all the time.
The real issue is the totally stupid "software" patents issued by ignorant offices. I.e. the "one click buy" patent, the tabbed browsing and even methods for embedding "something" in a browser are examples of ignorance and stupidity.
There are 1000 ways to code "one click buy" commerce functionality - but only ONE patent for it. That's what's wrong. It should be the code and the algorithms there where the target for patents NOT the method. As an example I could file for a method for making a car move. That would be the engine, and that would be ridiculous in the eyes of engineers. Such a patent would never make it trough the patent offices. Of course there would be prior act, but in many situations prior act is forgotten or the little man are afraid of the battle with the "mastodont" - an whole other issue. Therefore I must conclude that the people patenting software methods and functionality are somehow not fit for the job. It is then up to us citizen of the world, to raise a flag saying that the entire world will be in state of limbo if the current insane software patent wave continues.
Next time I file a patent it should be for bad endings in novels!
Mr. Cerf, It seems like a short time since everything started out at CERN - did things evolve as your expected? And how du your think the future of the digital age / internet will evolve ?

Mr. Adams is right, you can't completely avoid errors !
But a good approach to (near) failsafe software is to let non software engineers/pros test your solution, because they allways end up doing something completely foolish and crash the app.

The picture clearly shows another reincarnation of CowboyNeal.
Personal redundancy is a skill - not a coincident!
Hey the code are violation our intellectual property!
I can't tell you which line, but GOSUB 10000 and the command REM are violating our IP..!!
Watch out.
(btw. you may license the use of REM for a small fee)

Put and take in a case, no way.
I believe Holoware is the same thing as Vaporware!
Just a bit more transparent.

Well, there is about 400 programmers working on ms office - and if there are 400 easter eggs, no wonder its blow ware. /jake
Well, who needs all that advise when there are angels above us ;)
