Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, was recently quoted as saying, "The problem with Bluetooth headphones is that it's not just recharging your iPod, you have to recharge your headphones too. People hate it. There are quality issues - the bandwidth isn't high enough, and even if it does get there some day, people don't want to recharge their headphones."
I wonder if that means their gonna look into wireless power i.e. the experiments of Tesla. I wonder how sending power a few feet in all directions would go over with the general public.

Pick Up
I picked up this site from Userfriendly. It has a science fiction story for each element of the periodic table. I haven't gotten through much of it, but of the few that I've read (Californium, Berkelium, Lawrencium, and Seaborgium), Berkelium is the best. If only I could memorize it, maybe I could get me some "philosopher chicks."

Shady View
To notify you all of the results of the last post.
I got one response from the last post. And after getting my Pi/2% discount back, I looked today.
It came down to UrbanSpecs Wave and UrbanSpecs Seagull.
My polling was inconclusive, but for me, the Wave won out, as it looks, as one person put it, more stylish.
As for whether it was worth waiting for the Amazon's Pi/2% discount; it saved me $.44. And now I still have $2.50 at Amazon.com.

Online Shopping Challenge
I have come into possession of $30 good at Amazon.com, and would like to buy a pair of grey sunglasses (i.e. no yellow or blue, etc.). However, I do not want to shop for them. Thus the challenge I pose to anyone willing to accept.
Criteria:
1. UVA and UVB protection! i.e. 99%-100% UVA and UVB, also known as UV400 (or 400 nm).
2. Comfortable. This is as determined by comments or educated supposition.
3. Durability. Hard to determine also, but don't for something obviously easy to break.
4. Broad fashion appeal. i.e. not glasses that will go out of fashion in a month or a year.
5. Polarized would be nice. This is not a requirement, and I'm not sure how beneficial is reduced glare, but it seems nice.
The glasses can be slightly above $30, but not by much, i.e. maximum $35 not including shipping and tax. Preferrable Free Shipping, but we'll see.
IM suggestions to me or post them as a comment.
