This (http://www.ted.com/talks/eric_giler_demos_wireless_electricity.html?CNN=YES ) is some incredible stuff, and I wonder why there aren't practical applications already. I would happily pay someone to rig this up so I don't have any more cables anymore!

That site in general is very interesting. A lot of smart people talking about whatever comes to mind.

100 years later, the rest of the world is finally catching up to Nikola Tesla.

I saw this a few years ago, at TED as well, I think. Glad to see it's progressing!

Eric Giler has a plan to beam electric power through the air to wirelessly power your laptop or recharge your car.

Rut roh. Big oil might not like that...

It's magnets, internet person. People use them for healing purposes as well.

Uhh...the principle they're describing is the exact same process that makes an MRI produce images of a person's body.

Things only "heal" if the general medical community doesn't support it.

If we say they are safe, they cause cancer.

That's why I stay away from antibiotics, and down a radon shake every day. Cancer can't kill you if it's all you've got!
