Wireless power for your laptop

Wireless power has been on the news ever since Tesla, but recently Intel hit a breakthrough. Intel claims advances in lighting wireless power in their developer forum - wirelessly powered 60-watt bulb

NYTimes gives background on Intel's improvement to the 'wireless resonant energy link' technology pioneered at MIT, where researchers achieved 50% efficiency of power transmitted several meters via magnetic fields. Intel reached 75% efficiency. Now they just have to make those coils a lot smaller.
