Chicago (AFP) Oct 21, 2007A century after the first electric washing machines promised to take the work out of laundry, it doesn't seem like today's multi-cycle magicians are saving us much time. Sure we don't have to boil the water and lug it by hand over to big metal tubs. Nor do we have to strain our arms running sopping wet clothes through a wringer thanks the advent of the spin cycle. But, somehow, the pile ... more China rejects Japanese blame over East China Sea talks

When Toyota wheeled out a futuristic Prius prototype in 1995 powered by a combination of petrol and electricity, many believed it would go the same way. Twelve years later, its rivals are still trying to catc ... more Germans win international competition to design solar house
