"Fulton Innovation is out here in Vegas demonstrating wireless charging tech that has blown our tiny, gambling-addled minds. Its fabulous packaging uses induction power to create, among lots of other things, some of the most amazing cereal boxes we've ever seen, which can illuminate in stages to create an eye-catching effect.

But it's not just eye-candy either, because the technology can also be used to power toys and other items to give a battery-free demonstration. The company also had a pack of Energiser batteries that were being charged on its magical induction shelf, ready for you to buy and use straight away."

What we learned this week

/
• Water always wins. 
• Rupert Murdoch spent $30M to launch The Daily “with the mission to provide the best news experience by combining world-class storytelling with the unique interactive capabilities of the iPad,” and the editors decided to include a gossip section.
• Sometimes, in order to maintain your integrity and do the kind of work you want and need to do, you have to very politely and very firmly say “No” and sometimes you have to say “No, and please go away.”
• The Volkswagen ad “The Force” has been seen in YouTube over 7M times, proving people will go out of their way to see a good ad.
