A micro nuclear reactor in your garden?
Roland Piquepaille's Emerging Technology Trends blog features technology that'll make you wish you were living in the next decade. But there will also be some "advances" that you'll wish never happened. Here are some of his best posts over the past few weeks.

So if you want such a micro nuclear reactor, don’t expect to receive it by 2014.
