CES may be over, but in our post-technalia hangover we’re still discovering a few small wonders that flew under the radar last week, not least of which is this RCA Airnergy, a small USB device that harvests electrical power from Wi-Fi signals. Anytime the device is in the vicinity of one or more Wi-Fi sources, the Airnergy is charging, converting the wireless antenna signal into DC current that can power myriad small electronics. The idea isn’t novel, but this is the first time anyone has created a commercial product efficient enough to be useful.

How can you say I am greedy. So by your logic then I guess its morally ok to hook up to your neighbors power box just so you can get free electricity.

Guess what.. The power doesn't belong to you anyway. No more than the wind does. It belongs to the Earth and we just borrow it. Greedy thought process you've got there.

You know what, I don't like all these invisible sources of energy and information flying through the air, in my air, in my space, without my permission. We sooo need to back up instead of go forward with all this senseless useless crap on the phones these days. Technology is ruining the quality of life, why continue to make it easier to do that?
