I’ll pop my head up from working on the paper to share this with you:
For the record, I have a mac like that with the 30″ display at work, and yes, it’s everything it looks like and more.
Thanks to bluekitsune for the link.

Paper Overdue
The paper’s overdue, which we knew would happen, by a few days. Don’t expect to see/hear much of me tomorrow or Thursday.
Recharging ICDs Wirelessly
As far as I know this is not an April Fool’s joke. The article is two days old, and the patent does apparently exist.
A company called powercast has developed a way to capture energy from radio waves at a variety of frequencies, and to thereby wirelessly power devices. There is huge potential here for the implantable pacemaker/defibrillator business, as the devices currently have to be (surgically) replaced when the batteries run out. I think the current lifetimes are around 10 years.
