Like several others on SI, Maurice is an attention-seeker. He makes grandiose, extreme and provocative statements for effect. Not to be taken seriously, but sometimes entertaining.

Hi GPS. My plan in 1989 was to develop CDMA - I did that. Now for Qi. Just because a goal is large, doesn't mean it isn't doable. Normally, if goals make sense, they are simple to do because they are a law of nature, unfulfilled. People normally think new ideas are ipso facto bad ideas. Most of them are, so it's a bit like Gorby's economists - he had 10 economic advisors and one of them was right. Which one? He said Reagan had an advantage because he also had 10 economic advisors, but one of them was wrong. Okay, I admit my Qi prototype "performing well" is not a well-defined statement and some could misconstrue that to mean it is nearly ready to release. That would be an exaggeration, depending on your meaning of "nearly". But only a few years ago, any talk of ditching US$ as the world's main currency would have been laughed out of town. Now people are not laughing and are running for cover, clutching their little bags of gold, hiding up mountains and in survivalist camps in Montana. Mqurice
