Alt.CES: Cereal boxes with wirelessly-powered glowing ink
via MAKE Magazine
Chris Walker, of Secret Labs/Netduino fame, was kind enough to agree to do some snooping around at CES for MAKE, too. Here's more info on the printed-circuit ink product boxes on display at the show. -- Gareth
As Damien Stolarz previously reported, Fulton Innovation demonstrated cereal boxes with wirelessly-powered glowing ink.
These boxes were printed with special metallic ink at a cost of pennies per box. But it wasn't just the flashing lights that were printed with metallic ink: entire circuits printed on the inside surface controlled the animation and turned these everyday boxes into intelligent electronics. The cereal boxes even communicated with a nearby computer which queried its expiration date.
These circuits can be printed using standard printing processes (including silkscreen and printing presses) and the work that WMU CAPE is doing will hopefully enable home inkjet- or laser-printed options. The possibilities for maker-printed wireless circuits are really fascinating.

Got this as an email, though I would pass it along, looking at the line which a GOP SITE The blog is backing the information up.
Will You Ever Sell Your House?
DID you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home etc. What's a $100,000 home, you ask? When did this happen? It's in the healthcare bill. Just thought you should know.
SALES TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT 2013 (Part of HC Bill)
REAL ESTATE SALES TAX
So, this is "change you can believe in"?
Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax? The bulk of these new taxes don't kick in until 2013 If you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to screw the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. Does this stuff make your November and 2012 vote more important?
Oh, you weren't aware this was in the obama-care bill? Guess what, you aren't alone. There are more than a few members of Congress that aren't aware of it either
