There’s a lot of talk about Google abandonware here and that’s fair but this isn’t an example of that. This is an example of a dumb idea meeting it’s inevitable fate.

Two words should’ve stopped this from ever launching: input lag.

I get the spirit of being disruptive and trying hard things but some ideas are just stupid because they ignore physical limits.

Anyone remember UBeam? Apparently our still around as SonicEnergy. That too is a fundamentally dumb idea.
