    Yep!

    Right, which is why you’re using the other partition to restore. Did you miss where I said there’s a separate partition for that on Macs?

    Good info. Thanks for the link.

    How is induction, pretty much the cornerstone of electricity generation "BS"?  <img class=" src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />


     


    WiTricity may not be simple induction, but it is still induction.  The clue's in the technical name: resonant inductive coupling.


     


    In any case, it's still less efficient, so no thanks.  Plugging in is no great inconvenience compared to the cost of a major refit and higher energy bills.

    Fine, contact induction.

    Wireless power will never be as efficient as conventional wire power. While I don't care much about the 125 milliwatts wifi or 1 watts cellphone, I do have a lot of concern about irradiating 100 watts of micro-waves in my living room to power a TV or a lamp.

    The implication that we’re not constantly bathed in radiation of all frequencies all day, every day doesn’t lend much credence to your argument.

    I think you've missing key understanding on how electro magnetic energy propagation work.  Electromagnetic field that radiate into infinite space and decrease in intensity by an inverse-square law of power, so while we are constantly bathed in radiation of all frequencies, what we absorb is much lesser than 1 watts a days.   You know wifi and microwave oven utilize pretty much the same frequencies, only power output differ.  Actually the microwave oven principle has been discover when marines got cooked birds passing on front of radar antennas.  So I still got concern about wireless device with power output over 5 watts (the maximum power allow to a handheld amateur radio for safety reason) within a meters from me.

    Thank you for suggestion, but I will keep using plain old and more efficient wired power technologies instead.
