    In reply to Energizer Brings Induction Charging to Wiimotes
    I just wanted to mention that while yes, it is branded as "Energizer", they don't in fact make these things. Essentially the companies that make it use Energizer's name to sell it, and Energizer allows it.

    @smarttart62:
    Does Energizer make the battery portion? Because this isn't _just_ the cradle you'd be buying. You'd also be getting one or two induction battery packs with it.

    I wonder why none of these companies make a self charging battery system for the Wii-mote that operates on g-forces similar to those watches that you never have to wind...

    @Tom Utley:
    The power return is probably too low, plus it doesn't help you at all if you're not playing a motion-control game. Watches don't take much juice at all, and you wear them all day long. Even minor movements over the course of a day's activity are enough to charge it up again. With a Wiimote, that rumble function especially is going to draw a lot more power, and the recharge would be pretty minor for only a couple hours use at a time.


    So, you don't get much charge during gameplay, but now you've devoted a portion of that battery pack to a motion-powered generator, which means the actual batteries will be even smaller, so they'll run dry faster. Maybe the recharge will be enough to offset the lost capacity, but I kinda doubt it unless you're really aggressive with your Wiimote motions.

    Well, anyone who buys this would have to be less smart than the stylus, I would think. Are we to assume the stylus is so smart that it vibrates to try to escape from it's plastic-encapsulating silicon prison? Someone hand me a hammer and we can help it out.

    With that length and girth and vibration, are you sure you have not misconstrued what kind of "games" it is designed for?

    If by chuck them you mean attaching fins to them and launching them with rubber bands at recess until they were taken away then...yes.

    Why did Bugatti build a car and sell it for $1.5 million when you can get a perfectly good Nissan Versa that will drive you to as many places for $9k? And has cup Holders?


    Why do people pay $100 for fillet mignon when you can go to Carls jr. and buy a Famous Star for $1.50?


    Why do millionaires date women like Adriana Lima when Helga down the street with the humpback will blow you for $2 and a jar of pigs feet?


    Why buy a Macbook when you can buy a Acer Aspire One for $350 and install Linux?


    BECAUSE YOU CAN!!

    is it really possible to be "1/3 of an inch on the dot"?


    0.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333 and the 3's keep going forever.


    You can be a quarter inch 'on the dot', but not third.

    @nutbastard: Don't blame me i voted for Ron Paul edition: nutbastard, pay attention in math class. Inches are base 12 which divides in to 3rds evenly. Your problem lies with converting a fraction to a decimal. I assure you that if you measured this to the nanometer you would find it to be .33333333332 or another decimal that actually does resolve in a non-repeating decimal but that still measures to with-in the acceptable margin-for-error for fractions of inches.


    douchebag.

    @KanSer:


    It's called being facetious. I do ASME drawings for a living. I know more about manufacturing processes than you can imagine. Also, d-bag, if you measured to a nanometer (1 Inch = 25400000 Nanometers ) you would have many more decimal places.

    WYF, why does it matter so much how thin it is...? I really don't care that my TV's viewing surface is 4" from the wall that it is mounted on. I just don't understand, make the picture better and add an inch and I would rather go for that.


    REALLY WHAY DOES IT MATTER SO MUCH????????

    @OdeliaTermite: thinner = lighter, and less obtrusive. General population would rather go for that.

    @OdeliaTermite: Actually, when Pioneer made their 9mm Kura Concept, they were able to produce deeper blacks than they ever did before. I wonder if Panasonic was able to produce the same achievement by going thinner.

    @OdeliaTermite: There is a surprisingly large market for people who want to kill off their spouse with a TV (primarily for insurance reasons). Unfortunately, the new flat screen TV's make that extremely difficult because of their light weight. However, this model is knife thin and make accidental decapitation a real possibility. This item will do well in that market segment.
