no.

interest that is peaked: attained a new high and says nothing of its future state.
interest that is piqued: higher now than it was before (not necessarily at its highest), but, again, says nothing of the future state.

im dont even know what you are even arguing anymore & i dont think you do either.

lol, yup i should have removed the 'K'

Email is used here as tool and enabler for the actual work in the org. I dont think much productivity was lost, the staff just went back to doing their primary functions. Not to be enigmatic but it is equivalent to say they went back to making widgets. Of the 50k staff, ~40k of them do not sit in front of a PC all day.

yup same here - our organization of +50,000k users was affected. we pay for their suite and just switched over this year.

There is probably no one else in the entire world having as much fun as Putin. I, for one, am genuinely jealous of that lucky bastard

ok, i simply did not believe the article was about wireless power. if that were the case, i would not be expecting that kind of announcement to come bundled in a new product article. It belongs in a science publication. as you said, it probably doesnt exist. I dont believe it exists either.

of course we do know about wireless power via solar panels, but this is something of a different order.

Like wise dude, read more carefully. These are not just hunks of plastic - they DO have a battery - just not a bulky one (as power requirements have been reduced). They will also have capacitive screens and likely a speaker. They will charge off a base station that does not require it to be plugged in. I understand that this same base station is where the processing will be.

so are taxes?

bro, do you even git?!? http://i.qkme.me/3t9ior.jpg

I'd love to see you turn that microscope on Catholicism.

agreed, we, the populous of slashdot are indeed responsible to make these remarks and be bothered by the incorrect usage of scientific words. Why? because we f'n care: that is why. That is what makes us different than the folks that would be bored reading a site where the nitty gritty is debated to exhaustion. lets not take our charge lightly nor give up in the face of shit media outlets.

i'm being very serious here

AC is right
