One step closer to eliminating all those wires clogging up my desk. A laptop-PSU, a cell-charger, a charger for my Jornada 720, a charger for my wireless mouse. All could be replaced by a mat.
Uhm, STDMA is not an alternative to GPS. In fact, each ship uses GPS to find its position, but then broadcasts it (along with some other information, like a ID-code, destination, ETA and cargo) with STDMA to nearby ships.
NokiaGame, an annual game run by Nokia has proven wildly successful in entertaining people across europe. They've combined printed media, phonecalls, email and SMS to give out clues and assignments. Hint-sites have popped up all over, and people are in fact doing as their slogan says, connecting. The previous game sported 1 million players in total.

This may look completely useless to you, but read the article and the MIT website again. This system will be a playground for research releated to propulsion in water, and the long term results could give more efficient boats and submarines, that move more like fish.

Do I get some pictures I can put in my wallet, and a certificate telling me where he lives, where he goes to school etc. Then I could flash his picture whenever people tell me how they have adopted some poor kid in the 3rd world.
CutCats are cool, I got a friend in the USA to send me one. Thought about hooking it up to a computer near my refridgerator to keep track of groceries and expiration dates.
Hmm, imagine using it for access entry. "Sorry, you have to carry a bottle of jolt to gain access here", or "what, a pepsi!? No access for you!"

I imagine this would be useful in a car as well.
