  1. Re:The problem with wireless devices... on USB To Go Wireless · · Score: 1

    Heard of a wireless electric screwdriver?

  2. Re:The problem with wireless devices... on USB To Go Wireless · · Score: 1

    You kind of have a point, but anonycoward is right... the brick is wireless, but the speakers aren't.
    Wall warts are black boxes: you don't care whether it has an inefficient voltage-dropping resistor or gnomes, you just want a certain voltage at the output. Therefore, it being wireless is irrelevant.
    I agree with you a little, though. A better explanation for the toothbrush being wireless is that it can also be separated from the base at any time.

    Not natively. However, it runs [like crap] on wine. But you're a Mac user, therefore an artist, therefore you'll be better off with secondlife where you can easily create textures and objects. :D

    you must be one those "explosives planted by the government brought down the towers" types eh?
    Actually, they planted explosives in all major buildings in the US. They just hoped a terrorist would hit one.

    This isn't wireless power transmission technology; it's a variation of a simple transformer
    It's both. Although not as practical as the usual wireless, there are no wires, therefore it's wireless.

    I used to think people exagerated when they said americans always think about applications for war...
    Or better, what if we could anchor a nuclear barge 50 miles off a foreign shore to power troop deployments?
    Luckily it's the russians, who I guess are broke so they won't be invading anytime soon. If they could build many of them they could ship a few here to help with the energy crisis.

    there are lots of articles in that category. not 1 or 2.
    more on topic, this will be more necessary as bigger drives show up, people throw away their old ones just so they can "store uncompressed 50fps 10000x7500 16-bits per channel video" whatever... seriously, people, if you're going to project into a wall you're not going to be close enough to care about those resolutions..
