i think wireless electricity will be the best invention of this decade
Rocketboom is really letting on its left-wing lean. Hopefully it doesn’t degenerate into the “making fun of Bush while making Joanne cuss (because pretty ladies cussing is funny?)” thing or it’ll be every other show out there.
I hope that the Olypmics leaves behind a good legacy! And that the Olympic spirit manages to carry on for longer than normal until the next Olympics in 2012. Seriously it doesn’t seem that long ago since it was Athens or even Sydney or EVEN Atlanta! The trail of smoke comment was awfully pessimistic. I’m missing the Games already!! This happens every 4 years. Probably didn’t miss them as much since Sydney 2000. What an inspiring 16 days.
Re a legacy in China… If only they could be just like us Americans.

Your own personal flying wing is one alternative to this?
game makers should embrace virtual commodities
I never thought about the “wireless” thing before. The way things are going will run out of air bandwidth before to long as well. ;-D
awesome start
Need a good laugh?

Jet man is da bomb!
Poor old Habib looks like he passed several years ago?
Your “d,d,d,duh, da, doo” love that!
Speaking of celeb look-a-likes:
So I’m having dinner in Waikiki last week & a guy walks over to my table & asks me if he & his wife could take a picture with me. Apparently he recognized me from RB:
Did he call you DUDE?
Did he ask you to “Join His Church”?
He looks like him but you don’t like like you! Can’t say I recognize you without the signature cap and shades!
ha ha, total Photoshop! but it was sent to me by my friend who dropped 10K just to have his pic taken with the Obamanator at some benefit dinner in Honolulu. The meal was $3,500 so the pic cost more than the food.

Hey guys,
While I completely understand the uproar regarding the protestors who were arrested and detained in Beijing, there is a whole other side of this story that is not being covered. What these people did was illegal and they went into knowing it was illegal. There were appropriate areas in Beijing for Protests where if they went they would not have been detained. Now yes, I know these places were not allowed to have any media coverage but in today’s age with cameras (and groups such as these passion for the subjects) could have accomplished the same task without getting arrested.
Even more, it was Beijing’s (very paranoid) anticipation of such of these protests that made it incredibly hard for foreigners to get visas to come to China to watch the games or work. Now after these protests and subsequent outrage, China will only keep these walls high. As the walls are kept high the place where change needs to come from (inside China from informed expats who speak Chinese and understand what the average CHinese person thinks about Tibet) will be even slower. All these protests have accomplished is to slow down the process instead of showing that the international community is willing to work with beijing from the inside.
I come down on neither side since I have friends on both ends of the spectrum, the shame is that it will only take longer because we didn’t follow the appropriate steps during the first time Beijing allowed demonstrations of this kind. We as Americans/Westerners (in Chinese eyes) have shown we do not respect them any more than we perceive the Chinese as respecting the Tibetans.
(pardon me, but I smell pro-China Kool-Aid flavored Astroturfing)
-Erm, I thought the whole “Official Protesting Areas” was a modern example of the “Bait and Switch” tactic that Mao actually used to attract, round up, detain, and then Execute dissenters (’Hundred Flowers’?).
As far as I’ve read, the “Official Protesting Areas” encouraged people to go for Permits to protest. Once they did so: The Tibetans were jailed indefinitely, probably to be executed later, the Chinese were Judge-Dredded to “Re-Education” forced labor, and the Americans were Jailed for 10 days.
-And Nobody got their protesting permits. Couldn’t find the exact link, but here’s one: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26305623/
+++ what they did is not illegal in civilized countries.
(I mean honestly, China has almost double our population and the gov is worried abt. someone’s GRANNY???!!!???!!,!!??!!! -How idiotic would OUR President look (F***, -wait, don’t answer that!) -A High Government Official in our country look, if he wanted to jail someone’s GRANNY for saying ~”Baltimore Sucks!”, or something. -A Few people amongst more than a Billion!!! -talk about little weeenie syndrome! … and I repeat with anything China-related: YEEEESH!!!)
I didnt catch where america finished in the olympics.
Us brits got 4th….

There are lots of companies working on this and none of them are able to transmit more than a couple of watts of power a few feet. There are big losses in transmission, so it will waste power, there a potential health issues (real and imagined).
Basically, it seems like a good idea but it will ultimately fail due to increased battery life, lower power use electronics, mobile charging units (clothes for instance, solar sensitive surfaces).
Go to engadet for a complete run down of the companies that already have bit-the-dust.
Just to name a few, not profitable companies in the wireless power industry.

Notice how they all use the phrase Cutting the Cord? Somebody should copyright that and make some money!
rocket boom, smashing good
gotta make sure that the wireless electricity isn’t dangerous, people overlook these things and then suddenly reported cases of a bunch of diseases go on the rise, but yeah it could be pretty cool
boooooooooooooo!
Actually they had wireless electricity back when Tesla invented it. Westinghouse couldn’t figure out how 2 meter it, so they scrapped it =(
Tesla! WOOO!
It’s hillarious ppl wank about that hideous rat ‘Einstein’ when he invented nothing (it’s all a big, sick joke - like how they push that quad in a chair as some godbrain now - rehashing the same stuff).
I think its time to install lead walls. :)
this is great! thanks for your post!
