HUURRRRRRR

Wireless power is a cool concept, but it's pretty much old news. At this point, we're just waiting on the white coats and other Bespectacled Sorts to make it work at a useful scale. I link this article about it for one reason: to show you just how idiotic and useless Wired Magazine (you see the play there) has become. To wit:

Perhaps as early as 2013, your ultrabook and smartphone could be able to charge wirelessly. Pictured, the Acer Aspire S5 ultrabook, which does not have this technology

"Here's a photo of a laptop computer that doesn't work with the stuff we're discussing in the article! You know, just in case you've never seen a laptop computer before!!1 Radical, dudes."

I'm convinced that Wired is hiring their writers directly from the soup line -- probably before they actually get any soup.

Alright, I'm being unfair. It's not just Wired, it's journalists as a whole. The requirements for obtaining a degree in journalism have never been great in number or mentally taxing, but it seems even those few have been waived in favor of allowing the human equivalent of baked turnips to write copy for a living. Frankly, I'd rather they were drawing welfare.
