Every brand of pen has its own in house designed mechanism for the clicker. I'm sure they are all very glad that they spent thousands of dollars on patents so other companies would reinvent the clicker instead of paying a cent in royalties.
Why would they need to run generators at all is the city's power grid that crap that they would need to run them all the time?
Yes I know they should be started and run for a while at least once a week as or so as part of standard maintenance practice but diesels are for emergency power. The once weekly test should not be an issue.
Yes on smart phone's only. plans for hotspots/aircards/tablets appear to max out at 11gb (rather odd imho as verizon will let you select up to a 100gb online) unlimited LTE is not offered.
You remember before verizon bought alltel there was the big five? Alltel had unlimited data both for phones and aircards. After verizon bought them? None of those plans are offered anymore. And the fcc said it wouldn't hurt competition yeah I still don't see that.
No tmobile does not count that's unlimited 2g only. Although I'm sure verizon would be happy to let me pay for unlimited QNC again If I could find a phone that was still compatible.
Is there a reason why they can't use the same autofocus algorithms on ultrasound? Other than the fact that the autofocus in cameras has the bad habit of picking everything but what you want to take a picture of to focus on. What's worse is most cameras today don't even have a manual focus option.
Meh 20x20 is big enough that if I need it in every room I can buy a couple more and never have to worry about it.
As for laziness just having to have my phone in a 20x20 room a few hours every day would completely eliminate ever having to remember or think about charging my phone. That would easily be worth the loss in efficiency and extra cost of the setup.
Think about how much time wifi saves you sure it's insecure slow and unreliable. But having wireless web access on your devices is so awesome people use it anyway. At least I think so but then again I had wifi when I was still using dialup. sharing a 56k connection among 3 computers and a nintendo ds with 802.11b now that's some fun!
So we have agreed to clean it up where are we going to put it?
The US agreed to store nuclear waste from all of our reactors back in the 1960's they still haven't been able to decide where to put it over 50 years later.
If they do clean it up and ship it back to the US by boat it will stay on that boat at the dock until the boat rusts out and sinks.
Either way would it kill them to have the low battery chirp start in the day time? instead of at 3-5am every time?
I had a CO gas detector go to chirping (one of three) at 3am earlier this year the battery cover was screwed on so outside it went. It's still outside I think. Now I use the 10 year battery models exclusively.
If I am the one that is paying for it why should you even care? There are hundreds of thousands of outdated computers still in use today that have much worse power efficiency ratings compared to today's equipment. Their was a/. article about that a short while ago. http://hardware.slashdot.org/s...
Energy demand problems in this country tend to be related to NIMBY. We need a new power plant but no one wants it in their backyard.
I like energy efficient appliances up to the point that they no longer function as they should. Incandescents bulbs are lights, led bulbs are lights but CFL bulbs are an abomination of energy policy and optimistic manufacturing that never should have happened.
For the small amount of power required I feel 10% efficiency is acceptable. I doubt any wireless charging tech will ever be energy star certified. Wireless charging tech will always be less efficient than wired. But I think you will find most people are willing to pay for convenience.

I Would love to know what you use for batch downloads.
$7.99 gets you one netflix SD stream
In April 2008, the number of videos on Youtube was 83.4 million.
Compare that to number amazon/netflix or hulu may quote. Not one of them has even 1 million....Not even combined.

Nets to catch base balls? Why? I have never seen such at that height. Normally just damages cars in the parking lot anyhow.

I think they have a lot in common with patent trolls but I can't think of a good analogy.
Wow that would be nice!

After you get so close the wires touch and then its not wireless power anymore. :P

Which Is slightly more convenient but it's not worth the extra cost and loss of efficiency imho. Maybe if it was standard but not as an extra.
That would be a unacceptable sacrifice in safety.
If that were acceptable we would have microwave based.. http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff... wireless charging today.
Wifi is only safe because it is so low power even though it operates at the same frequency as your microwave.

100W of power to get 10W to charge my phone is acceptable if my phone will charge when placed anywhere in a 20x20ft room.
As long as I still have to place my phone in a 0.5x0.5ft area to use a wireless charger i'll just stick with a cable.
So its co2 boosted?

verizons 3g service tops out at 3mbps under ideal conditions here
verizons 4g lte service runs somewhere between 10 and 40mbps
on verizon's 3g it would take me over an hour to download 1.42GB even with the best case scenario.
Sounds like a walkie talkie. IIRC you used to be able to buy phones with this feature they had a separate radio that operated on frs/gmrs.
Ikr I downloaded ios 9.0.2 this morning 1.42GB in under 10 minutes. Would have taken at least 15 minutes on dsl.
