The technology has exhisted since 1920's. It's cheaper. It's cleaner. It's available. One used to be able to convert their car inexpensively. Not so now. So why has propane/gasoline hybrid not been available in United states commercially all these years? Why is it not popular here?

The Print Brush is a totally portable scanner/printer about the size of a PDA that can scan or download a file, and then transfer the image to a variety of surfaces. This is not a new idea.

Perhaps you'd like a 160,000 page library on developing your impoverished country, for only $2. You could learn much from a "memeware" attempt to synopsise all human knowledge. If your audience is illiterate, you might try cheap video CDs to spread the information wealth. Fortunately, there is technology to do so that is inexpensive, secure, reliable, and widely available. Yep, people sure are smart. No doubt about it: Today is a better day.

OBD-II, which stands for On-Board Diagnostics, is a series of serial protocols and bussing systems for automobile control systems. Per EPA regulations, all cars manufactured since 1996 have OBD-II. Using a commonly available aftermarket sensor and a sensor guide, one can perform self-diagnostics or even tweak their car's performance. However, all is not rosy; the proposed OBD-III standards will allow automobiles to be remotely located and tracked at all times, or even remotely disabled by law enforcement authorities.

Underwriter's Laboratories appear to be a pretty boring place, filled with rules and safety guidelines. That is, until they start setting turkey fryers on fire or you pay a visit to the kids page.

Wireless network enthusiasts have created a pictographic language for indicating network locations in a city of town. Curiously, it looks like a similar pictographic language used by hobos and tramps for indicating where to sleep, eat and work in a particular town. What if the two got confused?

What is Mlife? It's neither that spiritual nor that complicated. Possibly the biggest guerilla marketing campaign on the internet since AI, Mlife is Ogilvy & Mather's latest creation for AT&T Wireless. It's close at hand, so pay attention to the commercials during this Sunday's Super Bowl. That is, unless MetLife's lawyers (or these guys) have their way first.

Moving? Scared your favorite radio station will go away? (Maybe you should be) Perhaps you should fingerprint all the music they play so you can recreate it later. Clango will do it for you, if you run Windows. SongPrint is available for Windows and Linux and appears to be similar. There's also TunePrint, but they appear to not be ready just yet.

It's time to mow your lawn again. Why not try a hot-rod weed whacker? For those of the Amish persuasion (or who just want to intimidate the neighbors), there's always a good old-fashioned scythe. And if that's too much work, you can just buy a lawn-mowing robot to do the job as you relax in your hammock.
