What is that curious beeping noise? Perhaps something in your morning reboot:
- A phenomenon called “evanescent coupling” could allow for wireless power sources. The technology uses resonant frequencies to transfer energy without wires over a distance of several meters. So far the idea is just on paper, but the MIT scientists involved say they are working on a prototype, which frankly, would be the coolest thing since the wireless remote.
- Apparently Zune is incompatible with Windows Vista. Yes, as other have said that's ridiculous, but to be fair, Vista hasn't been released yet. If Vista is released and it still isn't compatible, then you can start jeering.
- AOL announces version 6 of its popular AIM messaging service. Among some of the cool new features is the ability to forward IMs to your phone when you're offline so you can see what you missed.
- iTWire reports that cellphone company BoostMobile has launched “a cellphone-based social networking service that enables users to plot the location of their friends on a map.” No word on the accuracy of the service.
- And finally, news of the strange kind: YouTube sent a cease-and-desist letter to the popular tech blog, TechCrunch.
