...settlement talks will do to Microsoft's stock. But none of this alters a fundamental transformation as we move from a computer-based economy to a communications-based economy--one in which you don't need PC power at your fingertips anymore because you can reach it instantly via the Web. "Many years ago people had trouble understanding what drove political issues," says Cisco CEO John Chambers. "It was the economy, stupid. Today people are asking what's driving the economy.

More recently, New Jersey inventor Randell Mills has been pushing power from "hydrinos." Still others claim they're tapping the "zero-point energy" that fills all space. The first two are considered nonsensical, and while zero-point energy has a basis in science, using it to run a machine does...
