This is pretty cool, an ancient Greek calculator was a thousand years ahead of its time. Microsoft is certainly wishing for a lot with Windows Vista. Are electric cars ready for prime time?

Phoenix this spring will come out with an all-electric sport-utility truck that eliminates many of the irritations associated with electric cars. At around $45,000 it's arguably affordable. The car--introduced just as major manufacturers are showing increasing interest in electric technology--can go 110 miles per hour (or faster) and accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under 10 seconds, so it can drive on the highway.
