You can send more than data wirelessly…

A few years ago on April 1st, Think Geek had an April Fool’s listing of a Wireless Extension Cord. For those not familiar with the idea, that may not sound like much of a joke, but until… Well… Now, it’s been (basically) impossible.
Now, however, it appears that Intel has expanded on some research done at MIT and dramatically improved the original design to allow short-distance electrical power transmission (currently at 2-3 feet).
The technology isn’t quite ready for prime time, but it’s certain to change things a lot when it is!
