As any self-respecting obsessive-compulsive will tell you, you can't touch sink knobs. Because you turn them on when your hands are dirty, then wash your hands, then go to turn them off and re-encounter the germs you deposited on them ten seconds earlier.

Problem solved with the Miscea Sensor Activated Faucet! A wave of your hands turns the water on or off, adjusts the temperature and dispenses soap or disinfectant, all with a Bang-&-Olufsen-like total lack of contact. Sounds great, right? Too bad the dirty plumber has to touch it when he installs it--his germs will live on that thing forever.

    TV is the thing this year

    In advance of their widely heralded 2009 demise, analog TVs are no longer being sold at big-box retailer Best Buy, which comes as a shock to...well, no one. And so a product we all grew up with takes its place in the graveyard. Five things we'll miss about our good...

    Swords vs. bullets

    Metal production method examination time: Samurai swords vs. bullets! Both involve one type of metal wrapped inside another, and are designed for similarly ignominious purposes. For samurai swords or katana, the swordsmith heats and folds the outer shell into a U-shape, then fits a softer metal into the groove and...

    Great creative minds can and do think alike

    How often does it happen when two creative ideas pop up on opposite sides of the world and each claims that they were individually inspired? The BBC reports on this house built in a Brazilian favela or shantytown that evokes the fantastical architectural style of Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona, Spain....

Next they need to match their technological-genius winners up with people like illustrator/designer/cartographer Ryan Wolfe, whose freelance and...
