The write-up mentions how this will improve current battery using applications, but I'm wondering what completely new applications this might make possible, potential products which were completely infeasible with slow charge times.

You are now in Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada. Why don't you swing by my place and we'll have a discussion about the adjective "near".
You obviously haven't worked at a university recently, 'cuz things have changed:
It is becoming more and more common for university libraries to avoid paying for the increasingly expensive and increasingly numerous journals by opting for electronic only access to the journals.
These electronic licenses usually come with strict requirements by the journal companies that only university members can access the journal content.
ie, if you don't have a student/employee ID and a computer account, you can't read the journals!
Flipping a window around to put a note on the back seems like the kind of dumbass thing I'd do with my homework, and then I'd forget I wrote the note and totally ignore it anyways.
Thats why you have a note on the front of the window to remind you of the one on the back!
These websites are supported by add revenue. Some users are more likely to click on an add than others. Therefore, it might make economic sense to block some classes of users since they aren't likely to click on an add enough to recoup the cost of serving them the page.
I only state this hypothetically. I doubt that information week has collected such statistics. I even doubt that sufficient statistics could be collected to accurately identify a group of users so unlikely to click on an ad to make the almost free cost of serving a page too high.
For other types of services, like ones which are more bandwidth heavy, I can see this being a more legitimate response.
From what I've read in some other comments, vanderpool could let you run two operating systems at once.
If this could be done efficiently, and in a way which allowed users to easily switch between the two OSes, one could run linux and windows simultaneously. Then, instead of having to use a second rate application for those apps which haven't been replicated in the linux world, one could easily switch back to windows for those few necessary apps which were holding one back from trying out linux.
Linux adoption would go up as people find it easier to try it out without abandoning their familiar windows apps, which leads to more linux development, which results in more replacement of those windows apps(since there is still the cost benefit to switching to linux).
Sometimes the trouble isn't that the software (or whatever item your searching for) doesn't exist, but that search engines don't favour them, but rather rank up the search-engine tailored commercial sites instead.
This is why it is often better to go to a site which serves as a portal to links to your subject of interest, rather than a general search engine.
Ebay never does anything about auctions with inflated shipping charges. Try it and find out. "Reasonable" can mean a lot of things to people.
It covers shipping AND handling, so your stamp means nothing really. You don't know if they pay someone else $x to pack their items (handling!)
Amazon.com has fixed shipping and handling fees for their 2nd hand items, you may want to try that out, but no one can match the quantity of items that Ebay has.
Here's how I think the rating system could be fixed:
STOP weighing all feedbacks the same!!! A negative feedback from someone who just joined who has only 3 negative feedbacks and no positives should be worth next to nothing.
A negative feedback from someone whose done 1000 transactions over 3 years and is leaving their first negative ever should count a lot.
Here's another tip: Always bid in the last seconds of an auction. IT shouldn't make a difference, but it does, and its evident when you see bidders who bid $1 at a time until they become the high bidder. If you bid at the last second, you won't encounter these people who drive prices up.
Based upon their quarterly reports, it would seem that people are leaving brick and mortar retailers in droves to go to Ebay, not the other way around. In fact, whenever I hear about brick and mortar retailers and their falling sales, I think of Ebay and such venues as the cause.
Personally, I'd much rather have retailing turn into a cottage industry of experts in their own area like Ebay is, than walk into a retail shop where the employees know a little about everything, rather than everything about something.
The high shipping costs are really to save the seller money, since Ebay takes a % cut from the final bid price of an item. By increasing shipping costs, they pay less to Ebay.
If an account holder accepts credit cards through Paypal, they pay a fee on ANY payment received, whether it be from a credit card, eCheque or Paypal balance.
That's where Paypal makes the real money.
By signing up with Paypal, you allow them to go into your bank account to cover certain debts. That's why you should open a 2nd account with nothing in it. Why walk in a legal gray area when you can prevent the situation from happening entirely.
I'd say Paypal favours the buyer and not the seller anyway, if you don't have a confirmed address and the seller ships, even with tracking, you can dispute it and win and get your money back if they still have funds in their account.
You can even dispute the transaction 5 seconds after you paid if you want.
Paypal's rule is that you MUST file with them prior to doing a CC chargeback.
You can still file with them after the 30 day deadline to meet this requirement, and of course your claim with Paypal will quickly get rejected, but then you'll be in the clear with them.
A VERY good idea is to open up a second chequing account with no funds in it, so if they try to dip in (which they have been known to), they'll get nowhere. I have a 2nd account at my bank and I can easily transfer funds between the two accounts as needed in seconds.
Funny thing is that they once locked my Paypal debit Mastercard for "suspicious activity" when I was just purchasing items locally. But then when I legitimately purchased some items from Thailand (fraud hotspot!), nothing skipped a beat. Heh.
1.)Turn your font size up really high so that you don't have to have your face a couple of inches from the screen.
2.) make sure your screen (or screens) are each directly facing your eyes.
At my job I'm blessed with a double monitor setup, but at first I found that I was getting major eye strain after a day of work, even though at home or school I would often spend a whole day in front of my (single) screen. After about a month I realized the problem: the two monitors had their screens parallel to each other, but I generally only looked at one of them at a time, which meant I was usually looking at them at a sideways angle, which meant that I had to constantly change my focus as I scrolled my eyes across the screen reading text. The solution was simple, to angle the monitors so that whichever one I'm looking at I'm looking straight at it.
In case the author of the article hasn't heard it is an employer's market right now for programmers.
Not all programming positions, nor programmers, are alike. Likewise, it is only an employer's market for certain types of positions(as it is with any field), and an employee's market for others. Some programmers can still make demands, cuz they're just so f'ing good/they have a very unique skillset.

Before that, maybe the U.S. should first tackle the phoneless problem, seeing that there are 5 million households(5%) without a phone(pdf.
The fact that this would be a good time to TRY to touch the code does not mean that they had any success.

Your confusing brainpower (whatever that is) with motivation.
Preposterous. A 286 and a 686 processor are just as unintelligent. Intelligence is more about having the right algorithms to tackle problems.
Um, how the fuck would you know if you met a genius who wasn't obviously one?
