Resonant wireless energy transfer was published in Science in 2007 http://www.sciencemag.org/content/317/5834/83.abstract?sid=135a98e9-4946-4b04-ab80-9dab0d9b5bd3

I just hope that they will build a suitable safesearch filter before the entire .xxx domain will be full of science websites and bug reports.

I always thought it was angry birds.

It may be a deterrent for YOUR house, but the burglars will go to your neighbors, forcing them to install alarms (fake or not), etc. Very profitable indeed!

Nevertheless, there is nothing wrong with using disks that happen to be in a RAID configuration as backup disks. In fact, it is probably a pretty good idea for large files and large amounts of data.

Yes. And if we call computers animals that will confuse the hell out of everybody too. What a nonsense.

1. pick a daily activity
2. put the word "electronic" in front of it
3. file for patent
4. profit

If he had believed his own "theory" he would have moved to the Arctic. He hasn't.

I always suspected that lawyers and managers are often unneccessary. Zuckerburg has shown great leadership in taking this decision without going through the usual (often, but not always useless) trouble. He is taking a risk, and I hope (and think) that it will turn out to be a good decision.

If you are passionate about science like me (I am in my 4th post-doc year in biophysics), do it! But not for the money. You will spend more time at work than anywhere else, and probably work at home too (because you enjoy it!), so pick a field you love and enjoy it! You will not be as well payed as your friends, but will have enough to live comfortably. Money does not make you happy. But a fun job to go to every day will! If you are good, you will have no trouble finding jobs. And you can always start working for a company if you chance your mind, even after 6 years or so as a postdoc.

Because if we can stop them from sending around doc or docx documents (or orther stuff that you need Windows only software for), maybe I can work quietly without my boss and collegues telling me to start using Windows because it is "better" (which they prove by the fact that I can't read/edit their documents normally)

It depends on the definition of centre. If by centre you mean centre of mass, that is the same as saying: "we define the centre to be the place where gravity is zero".

Just looking at it won't hurt anyone. It's what you do after it that counts, and that depends on the data. Of course, notifying a company of their mistake is nice so they can make improvements in the future. Where I come from, people help each other instead of even thinking about "putting them at legal risk". Unfortunately though, it is also my experience that most companies don't care.

First, have a look at the data. Then decide.
