textually.org: Lightbulbs Could Replace Wi-Fi Hotpsots: "Boston University's College of Engineering is launching a program, under a National Science Foundation grant, to develop the next generation of wireless communications technology based on visible light instead of radio waves."
Maybe I just don't "get it", but why is this news? We'd used infra-red spectrum to exchange data for years with the old Palm Pilots, and you remember how much of a "line of sight" nightmare that was. Isn't this just the same concept, but in the visible spectrum? Maybe this implementation will be more robust with LEDs.
Just promise me, please, no more of those creepy, uncanny valley animatronic Teddy Ruxpin dolls that "interact" with your television.
