  • Tired of peeling off the stickers of the fruit you just bought? The FDA is in the final stages of approving technology that uses a low-energy carbon dioxide laser beam to label fruit. The laser, which is currently being used in New Zealand and Australia, is being advertised as a non-intrusive, tamper-proof method of labeling fruit, and will also reduce waste (and save you from accidentally biting into the annoying stickers).

  • Delta Airlines is offering free Wi-Fi to passengers for a week beginning November 24. The catch? The free internet is sponsored by eBay, which means that when passengers log on, they will immediately be taken to the eBay homepage. A tad annoying? Perhaps not, if you intend to get some holiday shopping done while in the air anyway. Worth the free mile-high Wi-Fi? Definitely. [Jaunted]
