Guys,
You often talk about ordering gear from Hong Kong. Can you tell us a reliable and honest vendor that you have used and that we can trust? Would you purchase a high value item from an overseas vendor..i.e. a Nikon D700?
Hi guys, good show again. Just listening a few days after you went to ‘air’ and was interested to hear you mention wireless power. This idea is not new. The concept is over 100 years old, though the technology is about to show its head. Pete the technology man on channel 7 just did a story earlier this week about this subject, with intel working on recharging laptops and the like utilising magnetism. He mentioned a timeline of 5 years or so for a reasonable number of smaller devices being powered in this method.
