Well looking at the image above may make you jump with joy as you may wonder of why no one thought of that before they built roads. Think about it, if all cars were submersible then we wouldn't really need roads to get anywhere (well at least to where we really want to go) it would be much cooler to have an apartment underwater than in a tower cramped around among hundreds of other buildings in a metropolitan city....

The scarcity of power to gadget hungry people like us is overwhelming and the amount of new technology springing up everyday is remarkable. If such passion for innovation was seen before oil hit the $100 a barrel rate, our reliance on it would be nil by now. Scientists have developed a way to generate electricity by jostling fabric with unbelievably tiny wires woven inside, raising the prospect of textiles that produce power simply by being stretched, rustled or ruffled...

Many lazy people like me were very happy with the idea of planning a fitness regime around the Wii Fit. Who wants to sweat it out in a gym instead of playing around with the Wii? Too bad, the Wiimote and Balance Board will have to be replaced with dumbbells and treadmill instead. In a recent interview Shigeru Miyamoto said that the Wii Fit is not supposed to make you fit! In his own words: "I forgot to mention...
