xMax sparks low power wireless revolution

I’m still in awe after reading the latest news about xMax, the technology that I predict will be even more famous than Wi-Fi is today.

Technical aspects aside, the consequences of this little innovation goes way beyond the mere wireless transmission of data. The possibilities are really endless. I can easily imagine loads of xMax “dots” scattered around the world powered by nothing more than a tiny battery (or even solar power), forming the world’s largest ISP.

It can also be used to unleash the true power of personal networking. Everyone, every home, every dog, connected through a mesh of wireless access points, possible only due to the super-low power consumption (it is predicted that at 2Mbits a wireless xMax can run for years on a watches battery!).
Your watch will have one, so will your computer mouse, your TV, fridge, headphones, iPod, PDA, wallet, heck even your gramma!

A true revolution is on its way, and with commercial products ready as soon as next year, there’s nothing to stop it! (expect the FCC and other regulators)

Somebody should patent the patent process. Quite possibly the only way to screw it up more.

I have seen this comment posted in every article related to patent abuse. In fact, I am thinking of patenting the idea of patenting the patent process, just so it never comes up on slashdot again.

This was actually about some stupid idiot who’s trying to get royalties from whoever uses XML based on two patents filled in the US in 1999 (No. 5,842,213 and No. 6,393,426)

Now, what about patenting a gas composed of

Nitrogen - 78%
Oxygen - 21%
Argon - 1%
Carbon Dioxide - .03%
Neon - .002%
Methane - .0002%
Helium - .0005%
Krypton - .0001%
Hydrogen - .00005%
Xenon - .000009%

Now *that* would be an idea!
