Biggest product killer for these is the need for IT management.
Prove to retailers that your product is install-and-forget or they'll shy away from the unpredictable maintenance costs.

Could you elaborate on that? Why does the narrow frequency drain power?

TFA talks about a neutral zone. I assume there is a flow of equal number of (+) and (-) particles there.
If that is utilized, heat savings might prove to be true.

There is something about there being 4 electrons in the outermost shell of an element.
What is it?

Terrible design.
The high-end customers you desire will never abandon their shiny Swiss watches for this.
The low-end customers will (once again) be claimed by Samsung.
I didn't really like him, but Jobs was indeed a visionary. Apple is losing ground (alarmingly rapidly, I might add) after him. May he rest in peace.
n0rm | 11 years ago | on: Economics education can shift people in a selfish direction?
Not quite.
Economics teaches you that there is no logic or system to this chaos, and after a threshold, it's no man's land.
Then, natural instinct takes over.
Welcome to the jungle.

Anyway, reading TFA is a waste of time.

In BBC's Museum Mysteries docus, in the Topkapı Palace episode, they offer their theory for this.
They think that Piri Reis (commander of the navy at that time) obtained maps from ships that passed through the Bosphorus. He was then able to draw a current map of the world from all the diverse information.
They basically explored the world without ever leaving home.
