...Lucky Voice, the British capital's most authentically Japanese karaoke bar featuring nine private rooms that hold up to 12 people. Once you and your fellow croonies have settled onto the semicircular benches in your snug, dimly lit lair, press a glowing button labeled "Thirsty," which summons a smiling server, and you'll be downing cocktails and nibbling on dim sum in minutes. Our test troupe of warblers featured dead ringers for Alanis Morissette alongside nervous off-key newbies who quickly lost their inhibitions and refused to give up the microphone. But beware of karaoke's addictive quality: after such...
...first coin-operated vending machine to sell holy water. The modern precursor of today's machines surfaced in 1880s London, dispensing postcards. Since then, machines have been used to sell everything from, well, soup to nuts. But they've remained fully rooted in the analog world. Enter Crowley's server-based company. It transforms video-game machines to offer 30 different games instead of one, and gives jukeboxes the capacity to deliver 2.2 million songs.

Look around the café and you might notice something odd: almost every patron is male and almost every server is female. Go outside and the story is similar. While men wile away the days idling over iced coffee, women toil in the paddies, planting rice, gathering it, and then manning stalls to sell it at market. Holding all top political and business jobs, men run the show—women...
...When your run is done, you dock the nano, automatically uploading the distance, time and caloric data to a server, where you can track your performance over days, weeks or months. You can even set distance, calorie or speed goals for yourself, and challenge others to races or tests of endurance...
