Thanks!

from EMIL `S recent post - Also just google the LED WIFI ALTERNATIVE on
Scientific American, new Scientist or similar, bassically they can modulate the
LEDS to flicker on and off so fast that the human eye/brain will not notice
(there is always an exception as we know) so they can generate binary signals
0s&1s thingy, so wherever you are under the lights you will be able to hook up
to the net and similar.

Here's another one from the "World Has Gone Mad" department:

"Our sense of smell has a strong hold on our emotions, so it is unsurprising
that the movie industry has long sought to make it part of the silver screen
experience.

Japanese firm Sony may have the answer. A recent patent application
described the idea of using ultrasound signals to directly stimulate selective parts
of the brain to induce scents in a viewer or game player's mind.
Unfortunately, to date, there has been no whiff of Sony producing the hardware required. "
