Inventions of the Year
Time magazine's annual list of innovation, gadgets, and doodads is out.
The winner, to hardly anyone's surprise, is Apple's iPhone.
However, I find these annual reports fascinating. There's lots of other really cool inventions, and plenty of other cool things in Time's annual issue.

Re: Biodegradable-dye Tattoo
Did Time really post a picture of a tattoo on the (left) cheek of a woman's butt? What body part is that?

Time's list is OK, but I prefer the Popular Science list, which has some great pratical stuff (like the hurricane nail, or the sanitizing drink straw for instance).

and how is an iPhone an invention? Didn't have cell phones before? I give them a good design and nice implementation but invention?
