Wireless Energy
Scientists seem to have figured out a way that they could bring us wireless energy so that batteries would be, well, pointless. I had actually been thinking about wireless energy for a while now. In fact, I believe that Collin and I even made a joke about radiating everybody to do it a while back.
The tangle of cables and plugs needed to recharge today’s electronic gadgets could soon be a thing of the past.
US researchers have outlined a relatively simple system that could deliver power to devices such as laptop computers or MP3 players without wires.
The concept exploits century-old physics and could work over distances of many metres, the researchers said.
It would work with something called resonance. Another coincidence is that about a week or two ago my math teacher, Mr. Lemei, had a little extra time before class one day and showed us a physics model that showed what resonance was. Cool stuff.

Hello, I’m a Mac.
Well, looks like I’m almost back to being an Apple Zealot again. They’ve got the best processors again, the FreeBSD-based OS with all the good looks, and had an amazing appearance on the Colbert Report (they showed the Colbert+iPod spoof!). The final necessary ingredient for my return to Mac will be a humble one: when they stop exploding!
