Vote for the Top 50 Inventions of 2009

And it's not just Sham-wow's and Snuggies people (although both are totally dope)! On the Time website you can read through 50 inventions created this year and rate them 1-50 on what you think is most important. Just reading through the list is fun, I didn't even know some of this stuff existed, especially what I think will be the most AWESOME invention, Teleportation!!

From Time Online:
Inching our reality ever closer to Star Trek's, scientists at the University of Maryland's Joint Quantum Institute successfully teleported data from one atom to another in a container a meter away. A landmark in the brain-bending field known as quantum information processing, the experiment doesn't quite have the cool factor of body transportation; one atom merely transforms the other so it acts just like the original. Still, atom-to-atom teleportation has major implications for creating super-secure, ultra-fast computers.
