...early action been key for California as far as paving the way to a clean tech economy? First, we have to recognize, how do you measure all of this? We have [the University of California at] Berkeley and different labs working with us. You can talk all you want about losing weight, but if you don't step on that scale and figure out, ok this is my body weight, if you don't go to someone that has a way of measuring your body fat, if through water tanks or other measures, then you know ok my body...
...there are clearly costs upfront to making the transition to this clean tech economy. Are there benefits to doing so early? There are huge benefits because it creates jobs. Now people have to invent new things because we know the most important thing in all this is technology. You can still fly the big plane, you can still drive the big car, but imagine if the plane has no greenhouse gas emissions. It's not the size of the plane, it's just that we need to change the technology of what the engine should be and what should...

Compared to the sleek Bohêmes, the Skate Banana (around $600; www.lib-tech.com) seems rough around the edges - but that's the point. Lib-Tech, a U.S.-based design company, last year introduced what it calls "magnetraction technology" - edges that are serrated like a bread knife - and has combined it with a body curved to slide over powder and crud. The result is a snowboard that grips when you need it to and otherwise slips over everything like, yes, a banana peel. A stiffened tip and tail increase stability off big landings in the terrain park, which is where...
...shocked to read in "The Best Inventions of the Year" that you gave credit to a foreign university for a wireless captioning-subtitling glasses prototype without acknowledging innovators here in the U.S. who have been working on this technology for almost a decade [Nov. 19]. The Georgia Tech Research Institute is already in the final stages of commercial development of a wireless captioning-subtitling system in collaboration with a licensee and leaders in the movie industry. TIME's failure to recognize long-standing innovators in this area and inability to perform due diligence are very disheartening. Leanne West, Senior Research...
