Default Best Inventions of 2012

A fun Sunday tour through the year in inventions.

From the cool but impractical Indoor Clouds, to the eminently practical LiquiGlide cure to Ketchup bottle syndrome, and from the waves of the future (good): Google Glass, to the waves of the future (bad): Civilization Starter Kit (sure to be at the top of the shopping list for future Vault Dwellers).

I hope next year someone invents a photo gallery that you can scroll through instead of viewing one item per page.

Actually it is horribly annoying, usually they are slow to load, some sites use the opportunity to pop up ads during these clicks, I mean its done simply out of need to cram more ad impressions on the person viewing the site.

Sometimes some or all of those are true, particularly when it's only pictures, but I didn't find any of them to be the case with this article, or Time.com in general.

I just found the idea of finding an article notionally interesting enough to open a thread but then refusing to even look at it because of its formatting worthy of traditional Chinese mocking dance.
