if someone was claiming that iphone could do 1000mbit/s over edge. that would be about on the same level.

I think someone needs to brush up on their laws of physics.

The reason we're all so skeptical is because "free energy" is impossible. If it were possible, the universe as we know it would literally cease to exist. The reason the universe can exist in stable form is that energy remains constant; nothing is ever created or destroyed.

Nobody ever looked at the iPhone and said it was impossible because its existence defied the laws of physics and would eventually destroy the universe. It's not the same thing.

I am not one to knock anything before I have at least listened to someone. I believe people thought the world was flat for quite some time and that the sun revolved around earth. (I know, I know that was religious leadership and but they were the scientist of their time.)]]>Jul 5th 2007 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/05/bad-news-regarding-steorns-orbo-boondoggle/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/05/bad-news-regarding-steorns-orbo-boondoggle/Jul 5th 2007 6:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/05/bad-news-regarding-steorns-orbo-boondoggle/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/05/bad-news-regarding-steorns-orbo-boondoggle/

But it's OK, because I've myself invented awesome technology that can't be seen! You see, I've invented special invisible werewolf repelling forcefields and put them all over the world. Why do you think there hasn't been a werewolf attack in years? Oh, my machines also work as cloaking devices for Bigfoot, which is why you can't actually find Bigfoot but you can see his footprints. Sorry, but Bigfoot contributed a lot of the physical law-breaking technology behind my invisible werewolf fields so it was the least I could do to keep him from being disturbed.]]>Jul 5th 2007 7:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/05/bad-news-regarding-steorns-orbo-boondoggle/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/05/bad-news-regarding-steorns-orbo-boondoggle/
This is obviously some kind of scam. They trick idiot investors into handing over huge wads of cash, and then skip the country while the demo is 'warming up'.

This kind of thing comes along every few years, and every time these morons become a laughing stock when their piece of crap inventions are revealed.

Scientific revolutions just don't happen like this. The truth is far slower, more considered, and more boring!! Just look at fusion power.]]>Jul 5th 2007 7:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/05/bad-news-regarding-steorns-orbo-boondoggle/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/05/bad-news-regarding-steorns-orbo-boondoggle/
