So we've moved from repatenting everything and adding "on a computer" to "on a mobile device" and now to "wirelessly powered."

Does Slashdot really need to carry this story? It has nothing to do with science, tech, gaming, or anything relevant.
It has everything to do with homophobic, misogynistic, pedophilic, and racist organization which puts on airs of setting out to do good but in reality protects child diddlers and extorting money from gullible followers while ignoring the bible which it purports to follow, nothing to do with science or tech. Why again is this on slashdot?
Know thine enemy.
My backyard has a 16 foot privacy fence; it cannot be seen from "any" place.
I suppose you think I should have to go pay for and install a privacy roof for my yard as well?
I believe we call those "garages."
I take it you didn't look at the whole page. There's a video in the link.
Let me know when you can aircondition a farm or construction site.
What is more worrying is that there are numerous ways that the serial nr's activation status can be used / abused. For example, one game might decide to disable online without a refresh code which is semi reasonable (the person buying the game didn't pay for the servers that run the online portion).
How do you figure they didn't pay for the servers? If little Jimmy buys the game new, he has paid for the servers that run the online portion. (PS3 games don't require an online monthly charge like on XBOX.) The cost of the servers is lumped in with the price of the game. Jimmy gets tired of the game and sells it to Bobby. Jimmy is no longer using the servers, Bobby is now using them in his place. The net server usage change is 0. The game maker still has the money they were paid. Bobby, by buying the game from Jimmy, has been transferred the server access.
The majority of voters over 45 voted for Romney. The populous has spoken. Older workers want to be fired and replaced with more efficient and cheaper workers.
They're self deporting?
Or they could just use, oh I don't know... let's say some other sort of dedicated communication device. We could call it a "telephone."
"...as yet untested."
Remind me when you've actually tested it before I get excited.
So any fantasies about pouring genetic material into a box and then finding a corresponding picture of a face on a monitor... that will probably be a fantasy forever.
Actually we can do that now. It just has a rendering time of about nine months.
Which distro might that be?
I'm running Mint 13 64 bit and steam runs fine for me as well. Didn't need to use apt-get at all. Installed right from the valve website. Amnesia works perfectly. The open beta had a few bugs so far that I've noticed. A few are already fixed. Launching the game shut off my smaller primary monitor and made my larger one the primary instead. (log out then log back in and everything is back to normal) Also disabled alt+tab while in game. After one steam update it appears to work properly now.
How well does iOS 6 run on your first or second gen iphone?
An Apple gaming device would be an elegant, pure white box with only a light, it would never crash, but only Apple-approved games would run on it
So basically like every other game console.
Clearly you haven't played a console in a while. And now that I think about it more, probably ever. (bold for emphasis)
And replace the coal plants with what? Nuclear? Oy. Brain Hurts.
You do know that nuclear plants don't burn the fuel right? The only thing that goes into the air from a nuclear plant is steam (H2O, water).
Sounds good! Plenty of other countries to vacation to
I hear Guantanamo Bay is lovely this time of year.
