Default Wireless Power

Intel cuts electric cords with wireless power system - Yahoo! News

Pretty badass if you ask me.

lol - this was one of my favorite pranks to pull on probie firemen. Send them to a neighboring firehouse looking for the wireless extension cord.

Either that or a bucket of steam.

They're also working on the flexible solids thing nokia and MIT teamed up on, where you could crumble up your cell phone into a ball, or stretch it into a screen, or wrap it around your wrist like a watch, basically it takes whatever shape you have enough spheres to produce, while still being an electronic device. imagine folding up a computer with a 17" screen to fit in your wallet.

MIT has been working on this for some time also, although it sounds like Intel has managed to stretch the distance possibly.

A company in Pittsburgh has created something like this and I've seen it in action, powering lights and such it recycles the power emitted from like a TV or microwave and it sends it through radio waves, it's awesome.
