All these technologies are a ploy to make money. The t-shirt contest is all a gimmick, no one ever actually wins them. Prove me wrong!
Love PopSci, and I love the article selection, but tell me I'm not the only one who noticed the redundancy of "ATM machine" in the article's introduction.
I won a book once from PopSci, is that proof enough dave816am?
