Scientist is experimenting with magnetic resonance coupling to power a 60-watt light bulb. When the frequency is tuned to the same frequency, two 60-centimeter copper coils can transmit electricity over a distance of two meters, through the air and around an obstacle.

Founded in 2002, Friendster is one of the web’s older social networking services. Adults, 18 and up can join and connect with friends, family, school, groups, activities and interests. The site currently has over 50 million users.
It’s rumored that Google offered $30M to buy Friendster in 2003 (when the company looked very promising), but was turned down. Things have somewhat changed since then though. Friendster failed to become what MySpace and Facebook are today largely because of its inability to scale with the growing demand. Since 2004, Friendster has gone through five different CEOs.
Friendster was the 2007 recipient of the Webware 100 Award for best community site. The company has also been granted a number of social networking focused patents.

They may say they wants lots of features, that' a trick. The trick is that what people tell you is not necessarily what they need. So, you need to be able to distinguish between obeying and acting on user behalf. I think people write great software acting on user behalf instead of just obeying their commands.
The experience of using it is quite fun, I almost forgot that I am using a web application, I feel like I am using a desktop application. The down side of this is it doesn't support right click and keyboard shortcut, but what can you ask more. This can be very useful, especially when I'm on travel and need to upload and edit some photo.
Sometimes, you might found that some company is hiring peoples to work with the technology, and sometimes you get free ebook recommended in some blogs. Yeah, it's a lot of fun and rewards!!
