Most electric devices are shielded by their shell enough that few, if any stray EM rays could penetrate it. I do not see this as a way to power a computer, just mobile devices, and I would keep it far removed from my computer, or anything else it could harm. Any device made for wireless power would be made specifically to resist the EM rays.

Does it matter? How much tax can there possibly be on a 99 cent song download. If this is passed, the feds could get the same idea. I am in favor of it because I don't know anybody who actually pays for music anymore, much less uses iTunes. Your average schmo will end up donating $5 to help schools stay afloat. Not a huge deal.

This is an field that the U.S. needs to spend money on NOW. They need to fix, regulate, and upgrade all of their systems in order to keep from being annihilated.

All of Apple's main revenue streams are drying up at once, and even Jobs will not be able to save them. If Apple ever needed a revolution, now would be the only time that can save them.

The mouse is the perfect instrument for minimal work. Besides, how can you shoot NAZIs with a touch screen. I NEEDS A MOUSE

Nothing and music group proposes can possibly be good for us. Besides, I intend to never give any money to the studio labels, because they will probably just use that money to sue me. It is a terrible idea, eventually a precedent will be set and the RIAA will go and die in a hole like it should

There is indeed a cyberwar, but it is not as threatening or pervasive as our government and the media would like us to think. I think that this is an internal problem that should be dealt with by the government behind closed doors without spreading the kind of hysteria that will allow them to regulate internet traffic
