Finally?! If you look at the increase in computing power, speed, screen size, etc. over the last 10 years, it's a wonder that we get any more than.5 Hours from our laptops. The fact that you get the same amount of time now as when we were using the 8" Black and White, 286 POS is astounding!
What I question aren't the strengths of these effects, but the areas over wich they act. For the most part magnetic fields are very strong but very localized. Gravitational fields however weak are spread over much larger areas. It is also important to keep in mind that all "Field measurements" can only be taken with another interacting body. Any "magnetic anti-gravity" would have no effect on a non-magnetic body...Like dark matter, can you say dead nutron star.
