A British poll on usable design breakthroughs has been topped by the armed corkscrew. I don’t know whether I necessarily agree; I tried an armed corkscrew on a new wine bottle, and it broke. Much easier to just unscrew it, I reckon.

Prince William is the latest – some would say cutest – royal to be immortalised at Madame Tussaud’s Wax Works.
Ohhhh, he looks just like his wax mum…

The waxwork is so popular that they’ve [...]

A new survey shows that, while a majority of Australians support stem cell research and gene therapy, they are opposed to human cloning and social engineering. We prefer anti-social engineering – which explains a lot about the behaviour of engineering students.
