Engineering, writ small

Forbes has released their list of the top ten nanotechnology products of 2005. This list incidentally illustrates the difference between science and engineering: science gives you Nobel Prizes; engineering gives you chocolate-flavored gum and stink-proof socks.

Let me first say that Nanothechnology kicks ass!

Let me also say that I would much rather have stink proof socks than a nobel prize.

And besides, shouldn't we support those Broken Arrow, OK companies? The poor school girls in that community still think that gigantic curled bangs make for a cool hair do. The least we could do is boost their tax revenue in hopes that their quality of life will imporve enought so that they cand afford some fashion sense.
