Airnergy:Harvest electricity from Wifi Signals
2Harvesting water for the air is normal, but harvesting electricity from the air. That is epic. Yes this charger is like a dream come true for me. Harvesting electricity from Wifi signal is just amazing, imagine, your mobile phone will no longer need to be charge when you are surrounded with wifi signals. Ha2. cool.
Airnergy as shown in CES 2010, it was built so it can harvest electricity from wifi signals. It has a battery inside it and it will charges itself as long as Wifi signals are detected. No more cable hustle, you can leave your phone lying around your home and it harvest electricity from your Wifi signals.

Review: Indosat IM2 coverage in Pontianak, Indonesia
0Just want to share this review with my fellow netters in Indonesia, especially in Pontianak. I just subscribed to IM2 prime account. The offerings seems so good but I am not sure with Indosat 3G coverage in Pontianak town. I believed they have better 3G coverage in Jakarta, but in Pontianak I am not really sure. This some details over the “Eco” account (taken from indosatm2.com).

Hasil test dari speedtest.net:

On the 1st days connection seems quite good, but once I left IM2 office the 3G coverage is up and down and internet kind of slow. On 2nd day, that is bad, i am totally not able to connect to internet, quite frustrated after spending few hours to try to connect even at night. and now 3rd day is quite ok, I can get 3G and Edge network in town and I can connect to Internet. Today experience is quite good.
