http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/10ec6019534fd91a91e624ac3955853f.jpg How many years has the umbrella existed at this point? According to Wikipedia, the oldest reference to a collapsible umbrella dates all the way back to the year 21 AD. Plenty of progress has obviously been made since then, but things slowed down again a few decades ago when someone came up with an umbrella that opens and closes with the push of a button. That's certainly a useful feature, but the design of the umbrella itself has gone largely unchanged for far too long... until now.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/da6d7836d7d5aa53c845b0c4a055350a.jpgWhat if tank crews could see through the heavily armored walls of their vehicle? BAE System’s cutting-edge tech, called BattleView 360, lets warfighters do just that. A crew member wearing the helmet-mounted tech can "see through” the tank out to the battlefield around them.

In a sense, the helmet lets fighter pilots see through the floor of the aircraft, down to the g…
