...vacation, you're probably tired of using your head. Why not think with your feet for a change? Head's new i.C 300 skis are made from a special material that reacts to physical stress by generating electricity. Each i.C 300 ski has a computer chip in it that monitors its electrical output, thus allowing the ski to make an educated guess about the condition of the snow you're skiing on and how hard you're turning. The chip then feeds that signal back into the ski, which reacts instantly by either relaxing or stiffening. Result: you get more...
