In order to "fix" the issue it would have had to be a problem, but since it was just a "phenomenon" Canon only had to "address" it.

Jorvay: Exactly, if people want less pressure, then they should open the faucet less.

paragraph: If your lamp it too bright, then you should get a dimmer bulb or turn on less lights, not put solar cells (which are only 20-30% efficient) inside the shade.

Converting from one form of energy to another (mechanical to electrical, electrical to mechanical, solar to electrical, electrical to solar, etc) is not 100% efficient. You lose energy every time.

The best thing we can do is to use only what you need: Turn on only the lights you need, used only the water you need, etc.

wwhat: Except it puts additional load on the water pumps, which increases the electricity used by the pumps, which increases the cost per gallon of water coming out of your faucet, thus your water bill will go up.

It is NOT free.

This is not free energy, it's a waste. Water pressure comes from pumps that use electricity which you are then turning back into electricity.

This is like using the power provided by the phone company to light your house.

free, thanks

Was this just the first office action? If so, then its not that big of a deal, almost every patent application is rejected after filing. Microsoft can still file a response and all sorts of other stuff including continuations and requests for continued examination. This could go on for years.
