A new electric car named The 'iChange' - developed by the Swiss company Rinspeed - is a car which can be controlled using an Apple iPhone. It is an extremely light-weight car that weighs in at only 1,050 kilograms.
The car's shape can be adjusted depending on the amount of passengers.
There is one front seat and two rear seats.
If the rear seats are being used the roof expands to compensate.
This is useful is reducing energy usage, as it improves the car's aerodynamics.
Misty Wilson, mother of a high school freshman, is shocked at an article she read in her daughter's school newspaper; talking about how students have sex on campus.
She says the journalist should have thought about who would be reading it, and says it's not tasteful.
Naturally we'd have to be able to read the full article to make a good judgement, but do you think she's over-reacting?
Trait-selected babies are expected to be a reality as soon as 2010, says a Los Angeles fertility clinic.
Advanced reproductive technologies allow parents and doctors to screen embryos for genetic disorders and select healthy embryos.
But now, not only will this technology be used to just select healthy embryos, it will also be used for cosmetic reasons such as selecting the baby's hair colour, eye colour, and other traits.
Some say that this is going too far, but those are the same people that attempt to stunt the development of projects like this, only to find out it is inevitable that it will happen either way, they're just going to slow it down for people who want it - Although I doubt they'll even manage to do that much.
A lot of people seem to be jealous, because these embryos will develop into better-looking humans than they are!
But not me, because I got my brilliant looks through complete luck, so there's more skill in that, than getting them in a lab!

15-year-old McKay Hatch from Los Angelas, has inspired the first 'No Cussing Week'.
He was sick of hearing his friends throw around 'bad' language, so he decided to take action!
He has received a lot of media coverage because of this; but also, a lot of death threats!!!
Seriously. Who would even take the time to threaten someone for something like this!?
According to his website, the week commences on the 3rd of March, and finishes on the 7th of March.
'No Cussing Week' merch is available from his website, including T-shirts ($15), wristbands, his own BOOK ($14.95), and "The Power of Positive Hugging Card" (shown below) ($10).
HA!
Seems more like a creative entrepreneur than the language police!
