The best part is the quicktime video that comes along with the story,
in which it shows her Alleged Electric Field increasing the *digital*
volume setting on a stereo.  Har har.  So if she can flip bits, I guess
it's only a quick step away from being able to use a computer without
touching it.  Interesting looking stereo, wonder if it has a remote...

I think the gullibility of CNN is shameful.
