Glimpses into both the past and the future passed before our tech-spying eyes this week. As if a real-life Star Trek tricorder and growing robot army in Israel weren't cutting-edge enough, feast your eyes on the VAD.HO car, so advanced it doesn't even have a steering wheel. In a welcome twist, this translating device showed that advancing technology can sometimes mean preserving the past. And the week culminated in our feature on the Top Seven War Machines of All Time. The present day tech news of the week:

Saturday: A jacket for people who like to get high
Sunday: U-boatWorx personal subs: Diving toys for the rich
Monday: Home Theater Wristwatch: Do we even have to say it's a misnomer?
Tuesday: Far Out from the Far East: Rice Omelet Mouse
Wednesday: Enano: A PC that doesn't kill the planet
Thursday: Alarm Watch keeps the deaf safe
Friday: Star Wars mailboxes coming, and, yes, stealing mailboxes is a federal offense
