More of that cool technology stuff that we'll probably never get to use but it's neeto to read about and wish we had it. Here's the headline: "Dallas-based start-up Media Fusion has won a U.S. patent on a process it says can send data, video and voice over electric wires at speeds thousands of times faster than current high-speed Internet access technologies." Thanks VE. I cant wait to use my gigamodem on my 90ghz IBM and Glaze3D.

  • I can just imagine some of the crazy shit thats going to happen. Someone is going to stick their damn GigaModem into a portable generator, and complain when they can\'t access the net :)

    Thing is though, this could be cool for people who carry notebooks around. Just imagine, a Plane with a Satelite \'net connection. You plug your notebook into the socket on the arm rest, switch it on and hey presto, it works. (Using the normal connector)

    I see more possibilities at the level of generic connection style. You can plug into a multitude of different place and different connections, without any fancy specialised hardware (eg, go to france, and you don\'t need a different modem).
