This picture of a world without wires is one long dreamed of
and came a step closer following significant progress
made by Intel.
It said it has increased the efficiency of a technique for
wirelessly powering consumer gadgets and computers.
"The notion of disappearing energy sources is a powerful
one," Justin Rattner, Intel technology boss, told the BBC.
"Wouldn't it be fantastic if we didn't think about where the
power was coming from and the power was everywhere?"
he said. "No cords, no batteries anymore."
Mr Rattner envisaged a scenario where a laptop's battery
could be recharged when the machine gets within several
feet of a transmit resonator which could be embedded in
tables, work surfaces, picture frames and even behind
walls.

Cut that cord, it's party time!
An end to spaghetti power cables

Intel's technology relies on an idea called magnetic induction. It is a principle similar to the
way a trained singer can shatter a glass using their voice; the glass absorbs acoustic energy
at its natural frequency.
At the wall socket, power is put into magnetic fields at a transmitting resonator - basically an
antenna. The receiving resonator is tuned to efficiently absorb energy from the magnetic field,
whereas nearby objects do not.

NEW YORK AP - A highly popular Scrabble clone already pulled from Facebook in the United
States and Canada continued its tumble over the weekend as the online hangout extended
its block of the game throughout most of the world.
Facebook said Monday it was forced to disable Scrabulous after one of Scrabble's rights
owners, Mattel Inc., made a formal removal request and the developers of Scrabulous took
no action themselves.
