Diamond knee replacements!

Well, yes...that is one possiblity now that we have learned how to make 'real' diamonds.
They're already up to two carats, and are planning on ten.
Another possibility is a car paint that would never scratch. Lots and lots of possibilities...
The 10,000 *movie* iPod sounds kind of interesting too.

Carbon nanotube memory chips - ten times faster than today's flash memory.
Basically, what they're talking about is "instant on" computers - no start-up time.

www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch.com
- that's one seriously long domain name
World's Tallest Buildings
This could make things interesting - an anti-sniper robot.

It can't fire back (yet), but it locates the source of the shot pretty darn quick, or, as they claim "before the smoke disappears."

I would say I think I've seen everything now, but I'm sure I haven't...but for the record, there is now such a thing as an elephant treadmill.

This would be fun to play with - PowerQuick - Powered Personal Ascender.
Developed under DARPA, but now available to you. Come on - let out your Spiderman fantasies...

(It moves you at up to a yard a second - that's pretty darn fast)

Just when you think you've heard about all the people who know nothing about computers - more crawl out of the woodwork...

It's a sad day when you can be outranked by a penguin.

This is so messed up - Real Life Zombie Game

Basically, this guy must have had mad money to do this - he developed a video game that with flashes puts the unsuspecting user into some kind of catatonic trance. Then he transports him to a nearby warehouse kind of place with actor zombies that look like the ones in the game he was just playing. Then he wakes him him - and the poor guy thinks his game is real life.

Might be fake, but looks pretty well done - my question is just "WHY?"
