"it would take 250,000 to 1 million solar-powered wrist watches to generate the energy needed to power one iPhone (and keep the watches ticking). In other words, “the rate of energy consumption of the iPhone is about 250,000 to 1 million times larger than a standard sports wrist watch.”""And keep the watches ticking"...anyone else see how horrible their 250,000 to 1,000,000 higher energy consumption reasoning is? They mean it's 250,000 to 1,000,000 greater than the excess energy produced by the watches, a completely different matter. Especially since most watches, if properly designed, don't wast money on solar materials creating excess energy. Seems like a rather large error for a Forbes article.
Actually, I DID read the article, you f**kING MORON. Where do you think I got the idea from? It certainly wasn't in the article synopsis! (...idiot! Think before you open your mouth!)

And how would you recharge the deficit of electrons?

"...an iPhone equipped with Apple’s potential new technology could generate around 1 watt of energy..."Since when is a watt a unit of energy?

Wow even Forbes is drinking the zealot kool-aid. Is nowhere safe from the Apple c**k-sucking?
