    Oh gods. I can picture the bad ads already. I can't resist spouting bad humor right about now.

    Imagine a porn star, buck naked, humping a computer.

    "The electric babe ... she POWERS your internet!"
    "Ohhh ... it's TURNING ME ON!"

    Dude, sick mind.

    All I can think of is 'previous works'. Hell, the own article states
    The whole patent process is pretty disenchanting... considering that it took 4 years and they still pateneted something that isn't novel or new.

    British Telecom was already analysing such usage.

    I read this thread yesterday and then earlier today I saw something somewhat similar to this on Fox or CNN. It was showing how the latest cellular phones are so important to people in Japan and it was showing some technology in the works. One guy was wearing a wristband to draw power from our body as mentioned here but also to show a mini-picture screen for live video talk and that's all there is to the phone.. that simple screen. To talk to someone, there is no headset but rather signals from that screen is sent through your arm so all you need to do is stick your finger in your ear to hear the other person talking on the other end, heh. Thought that was kinda neat.
