PopSci's Best of What's New 2006 Frankly, some of us used to think Popular Science was strictly for propeller heads—one of those dreaded subscriptions from Grandma. But browsing through the mag's "Best of What's New" feature, we just discovered that PopSci is more new James Bond than goofy old one. How cool is a car that goes zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds? Too cool. How slick is a personal batwing? Beyond slick. And that $100 laptop everyone keeps talking about is better than cool—it could help change the world. For these and all the other innovative products and designs that Popular Science hipped us to, and for all the things we thought about you before, we humbly bow our heads. Got a spare propeller hat?
