Something for the Future

Am currently reading the Economist Technology Update and here are some cool stuff that had caught my eye:

• Vertical Axis wind turbines (think merry-go-round)
• Hybrid airplane
• Slingbox (allows you to watch tele on your comp anywhere)
• Standby power and how companies are reducing the power consumption for their products on standby

Quite keen to get the Slingbox to catch up on some good old British tele!
