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.
Here’ a few of the more interesting items:

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).
