Thus stain-resistant trousers. The idea of pants as a bib is one whose time has come. Levi's Dockers brand has unveiled its Go Khaki with Stain Defender line. Treated with DuPont Teflon, these trousers allow the wearer to spill any "oil or water-based liquid" (e.g., beer, salad dressing) and have it bead up and roll off. Earlier this year, Lee introduced its Performance Khaki, which uses Nano-Care, microscopic whiskers that repel spills...
...authentic hustle and bustle need look no further than the crushingly congested Chandni Chowk area. Even though the metro will open here first, it's unlikely to provide much relief to the maze of hawkers and shopkeepers, donkeys and camels, trucks and bicycle rickshaws, selling everything from myrrh to liquid mercury to Mickey Mouse dolls.

"Funny how people have been slagging off conglomerates for some time," says Nick Ingelbrecht, a technology analyst at Gartner, "but now the idea looks rather good, doesn...
...more reason to be cautious. After a friend was attacked by a man who may have spiked her drink, Francisco Guerra developed a cardboard drink coaster that can identify two of the most popular date-rape drugs: gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and ketamine. Just place a drop of liquid on the coaster, and rub it in with your finger. If the spot turns blue, toss that cocktail. Fifteen million of these coasters have already been distributed; look for them at 7-Elevens around Christmastime.
