What's interesting is that this is being discussed in many fora, with, 
as you can imagine, the yea-sayers and nay-sayers having at each other.

You know, on a physical level, bumble bees shouldn't be able to fly, either.

But they do.

I'd like to see the experiemental/instrumented data.  Calling it 'snake 
oil', as one commenter on that page said, isn't necessarily the most 
cogent way of stating your position.  If you really think about it, our 
hobby was dismissed early on, too.  I mean, sending invisible waves 
through the air to send a picture or voice to another magic box?

If this works even half as well as is claimed...could be an interesting 
game-changing development.  Imagine, in a deed-restricted environment, 
turning that big tree in your backyard into a skyhook...and no one would 
know the difference.  :)
