New York, NY -- What makes America great? TV, Coca-Cola and its war-like ways, which are just a few of the areas where technology is making wacky things happen.

Digital technologies maker, NHJ Limited is ready to launch its wearable TV watch. Boob-tube lovers can pick up VHF and UHF channels on the wrist-watch-sized device which has a TFT LCD display and retails at $200.

Meanwhile, on May 17, Coca-Cola will launch a new contest using GPS Coke cans. They've secretly substituted the Coke in over 100 cans with a transponder, and once the button on the can is pressed, contest honchos will hone in on the signal to deliver the prize of a 2005 Chevy Equinox, home entertainment system or cash.

Finally, the new issue of "Popular Science" reveals the new weapons that are being developed at the U.S. Pentagon -- including an Electromagnetic Railgun that can launch a kinetic missile 200 miles away.

The projectile travels at a speed of Mach 7, and comes down with such force that it doesn't require explosives. Instead it vaporizes the target with kinetic energy alone.
