put a bit of water into a coke can and heat it over a stove until most of the water is steaming off.
grab it quickly (not with your hands, I guess) and put it face down into a basin of cold water.
it compresses the can pretty well:D
while on the topic of compression, get a 2l coke bottle (yes, you can do lots of things with pop!) and half fill it with water and pump a few bars or air into it (check what the maximum capacity is - i think below 10 bars should be safe). Makes a good rocket when you let go.
I think this whole thing is getting a bit out of hand - I mean:
gadgets nowadays do everything - you have watches that have built in address books, calenders, altimeters, weather forecasters, TV/Video/MD remote controls; cellphones that have games, icq, internet (p0rn...), cameras and who knows what else that will come out.
It seems that lots of things are merging into do-it-all devices... I think it won't be long till things start merging on a wider scale. Maybe one day we'll have a single gadget that does everything... I mean everything... scary.
this idea is simply not true.
think about a lighthouse in the middle of a cynlinder - the bigger the cynlinder, the faster the light moves around it provided the lighthouse is spinning at a constand speed. if you make the cynlinder indefinately large, does the light travel at infinite speed along the walls? no - eventually the light will curve, and even spirall - just like a water from a hosepipe.

What about the sound recording of this thing? Because if it's good enough I regret getting my NetMD, which does not allow you to upload recorded stuff back to the PC.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but music CD's, in the end, contain music - and they can never stop people from copying it unless it cannot be heard completely - which then defies the whole purpose in the first place. Sure, it's harder to rig up a recording system compared to sticking it into the computer and ripping it, but it can be done, relatively easily - without huge compromises in the quality.

Hard to make you say? Just ask our Iraqi friends - it is well known that they have weapons of mass distruction /end lame punchline
...insert the spellcheck poem here...
I think it totally depends on how you use it. Computers are a mere tool that can be used to increase efficiency: of what? that depends...
Instead of blaming technology, we should rather question the way it's being used
the TLD for Canada is .ca.us !!!
Just a feeling - many of these predictions, as well as peoples comments posted here, seem to have some sort of connection with 1984. Kinda scary.

Problem with storage?? It is well known that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction stored away...

actually, there *used* to be a vcr module planned... but i think the good old copyright issue killed it.
