, that skeptic ended up becoming a believer

He wasn't a skeptic, he was always a believer. I've gone back and read his sayings, they were things like, "we need to make sure our data is solid, otherwise people won't believe there is global warming." That's a reasonable scientific thing to say, but because of that, other people labeled him a skeptic and even a denier. He didn't label himself that way until it was useful, to show he had 'reformed'.

Also, his study failed to adequately account for the heat-island effect, and had trouble getting published for that reason.

Phones are getting a bit more memory, somewhat faster CPUs, a bit better screens, and improved cameras but you would expect all of these things. In terms of new and interesting features, it seems like we're in a mature market where we've all decided upon what it means for a device to be a smartphone.

That's a problem phone makers are facing. Amazon's new fire phone, supposed to be revolutionary, is just some parallax graphics (and a bit of rotation magic).

When new ideas fail, you do what Apple did: re-skin it.

Secondly almost the first thing said in the video is that they had to install a driver on the target to force it to emit signals they could pull out of the noise.

At that point it's no longer 'bridging the air-gap' (which typically means exploiting across the air gap), it's communicating between two friendly entities through the air.
Which we've been doing for literally hundreds of millions of years.

And you are dishonest.

You're a jerk, and I hate you. Woohoo, insults, I can do them too.

If you had Windows in 1993, and you pushed ctrl-alt-delete and it brought up your login screen, then you were not normal, and the OS was not an OS many people had. THAT is the truth.

As an aside, in 1993, more people were running Unix than Windows NT.
