OT: Hai, they have a 3-D copier (polymer media-based) up here at Embry-Riddle; just load up the 3-D dwg file and your part slowly emerges from a vat of resin. Very neat process to watch. They use it here to fab scaled-down models for wind tunnel testing, etc.
hai- i believe MIT is working with one of the auto makers and have developed what i will call a "cone of music". Imagine a 4 passenger auto where each person can independently listen to different music,etc. w/o headphones and not bother the other passengers. i have an article somewhere i'll dig up.
