Time magazine's top inventions of 2008 (that I feel like commenting on):
01. The Retail DNA Test - Not sure its yours? buy this.
02. The Tesla Roadster - Now, I'm not a car kinda person. This however is one hell of a sleek car, its stylish, its 'affordable' (if you have $100, 000), and its powerful. Thats a pun! HA! It's an electric sports car :).
04. Hulu.com - Its like TV... but on the Internet... and unlike downloading and streaming... its legal.
05. LHC- Its the biggest thing in science... and number 5? NUTS!
08. Bullets that shoot bullets - defending our soldiers, since 2008.
09. The Orbital Internet - just incase the astronauts need to google a star entity.
14. The Bionic Hand - It starts with hands, then its arms, then its torsos, then its the destruction of the human race.
17. The MDS - see? terminators AHOY.
20. The Everything Game - Spore. Not that great, winning lots of renown.
22. The Shadowless Skyscraper - as cool as it is, did we really need to waste the money?
26. The Speedo LZR racer - yeah... it shouldn't be on the list. Oh well... it looks... nifty and futuristic.
28. Invisibility Cloak - *Fwoosh* there go our soldiers, and it wasn't even my fault.
32. Facebook for spies - Likes: hiding bodies in closets, stealing Russian schematics, long walks on the beach, headshots. Dislikes: Commies, pudding.
36. The New Ping-Pong Serve - Ok, this is not an invention. However it did happen. And it was funny.
39. Enhanced fingerprints - No more wiping guns clean. Sweat + metal = erosion (however little) throw in electricity and bam! you have a fingerprint.
40. The Seven NEW Deadly Sins - Yeah... the pope decided there should be more: bioethical sins, morally dubious experiments that harm human embryos, drug abuse, polluting, social injustice, accumulating excessive wealth and creating poverty.
41. The Peraves Motercycle - Its futuristic, and pretty.
42. Disemvoweling - a fun word to say, and a fun Internet sensor. It takes out all the vowels, so you can't really understand a disemvoweled sentence.
50. The Camera for the Blind - it projects a brail picture-image on the screen. AWESOME!

So, they issued seven MORE sins, eh? Have as many as you want, Vatican, because there's definitely not a sin for that...
