Was Cheney Darth Vader, and Bush the Emperor, or the other way around?  Well, since both Cheney and Vader are cyborgs, I guess that’s the way it goes.  What a waste of metaphor…  Anyway, the Left Ventricle Assistive Device (LVAD), an already amazing piece of medical technology used by Dick Cheney, is going to adopt a wireless power system in a few years.  More props for Tesla.
