Teleportation Breakthrough
 Wow Dept: Just saw this on BBC News and had to share, "Scientists have performed successful teleportation on atoms for the first time, the journal Nature reports. The feat was achieved by two teams of researchers working independently on the problem in the US and Austria.
"The ability to transfer key properties of one particle to another without using any physical link has until now only been achieved with laser light. Experts say being able to do the same with massive particles like atoms could lead to new superfast computers."

Coin Operated Breathalyzer
 Not sure if this is progress, but you can buy a coin operated breathalyzer and huff your way out of a DUI violation for just pennies a day. Some highlights:
Easy Operation - Users blow through a straw and their exact alcohol level is displayed in seconds.
Low Maintenance - Just collect your cash; no inventory to replace.
Accepts 1-8 U.S. Quarters; can be set to accept international coins.
The commercial unit is nearly $1,400, but I guess this would be more fun in a bar than playing that same old brick video game or sex trivia.
