A new way to charge

If your phone supports the Qi wireless charging standard, or buy a separate charging sleeve for iPhones, the $89 Energizer Dual Inductive Charger offers convenient, cordless, power.

Evolved power for your DNA

One of the new handsets to support the Qi wireless charging standard right out of the box is the HTC Droid DNA. Other compatible devices include the Nokia Lumia 920, Lumia 820, and LG Nexus 4.

Easy, effortless charging

To begin the flow of power, just drop your phone onto one of the two inductive charging areas.

The wired option

For devices that don't support wireless power, the Dual Inductive Charger can send power the old fashioned way, through a standard USB port.

Sleek pad, thick AC brick

The Energizer Dual Inductive Charger may be convenient but with a bulky AC adapter like this, it's clear it was meant for desk duty.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
