Ok, they're not really perpetual motion machines, but their continued improvement certainly looks like one. Take a look at this graph from the group that rates the top 500 supercomputers:

 

It's almost a perfect exponential growth! At this rate, when I'm 50 and super rich I might buy the 500th fastest supercomputer running at 1 ZETAFLOP! At the same time, SI will be scrambling to make up more Star Trek like names because the #1 supercomputer will already be at a Yottaflop, and Wikipedia doesn't have any more names.
Yes, I had to look those up - which makes this even more ridiculous.

The classic looks, the leather handlebars and seat, the black w/ brown trim frame, the white tires... The engine.

 Now to save $2000 to buy one.

Some researchers in New Zealand have unveiled some special modified wool that is stab resistant. I don't know about you, but I hope that this means that in the future I'll be able to wear socks forever without getting holes in them.

This time it's a wedding ring set with an rj-45 (ethernet plug) in male on one and female on the other (not to be sexist, that's just what those ends of the plug are called).

I have to admit, when I first saw this I yelled, "Wondertwin Powers activate!"

You heard right, the Iphone is in its first music video; Unfortunately the song is "Smell Yo Dick", by rapper Riskay. Apple must be so proud.
