PopSci and Time just dropped their best of tech lists . We ’ll spare you the read and show you the best from both .
PopSci ’s contrivance listing is droll . But most noteworthy in the Gizmodo - ish types of gear isSamsung ’s LED - backlit slender DLP setfor its wide people of color gamut , and this far out head TV that uses 1,380 individually control LEDs to give an LCD 100 sentence the contrast , and 10 times the brightness , of other liquid crystal display . Yowzers , at $ 50k , it intimately . More on this later .

PopSci ’s home base category is really nifty for pointing out the stuff you might pass over at Home Depot . In this section , their Grand Winner is a new twist on an one-time favorite tech : The nail . Really . tap to show why its suitable .
I ’d make a joke about how unusual it is to put a splinter of metallic element in a best of tech class — I mean , rib , twist , and a bigger top ? Come on ! But in the end , who can argue with a fastening that is hurricane and earthquake resistant ? Then there ’s the Skystream DIY home Windmill outfit , the world ’s most powerful mini exercise , and the knotty tape ever made . ( Small picture above . )
Not to mention some very cool engineering projects like the Grand Canyon skywalk , a translucent U - shaped glass walk that pose 3/4 of a mi off the canyon floor .
fourth dimension ’s picks are less exciting , and more mainstream , but undeniably , they see the bounteous image : Their high-minded winner was YouTube . Yawn , but yes , we ca n’t live without it .
Most of the honor success here seemed like they were either very random , but cool , like the wovel , a combining wheel burial mound and shovel for you poor shit in the north east . force the shovel forwards on the roulette wheel and then switch the snow sky eminent as you use the tire as a fulcrum .
And the excellent , but offseasonExcalibur Lounger , which we make out . Maybe because of Time ’s photos . Call me !

And the Skystream gets another acknowledgment . The windmill itself sits on a 35 foot pole and can provide a mansion with about 80 % of its entire electricity usage . coolheaded , except they predict it ’ll spare you $ 600 a year , and the frame-up cost you $ 10,000 including install . It still ai n’t sleazy being green .
mayhap the best of all is the hug shirt from cute tour . It twin with a cellphone by bluetooth , and when a loved one broadcast you a txt message the shirt replicates the warmth , embrace , and heartbeat of your sex slave . It ’s very romantic . And not yet for sales event , probably because it does n’t play very well . Virtual hug are weak years behind the real thing .
This situation was too foresighted .
