Tricorder X Prize

As noteworthy as the whole build-a-spaceship Ansari X-Prize competition was, it was ultimately anti-climatic, as they were just retracing previously explored paths -- albeit in fancier shoes. There's a new competition, however, which I find much more interesting: the Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize. There's $10 million in prize money for the first successful production-quality medical tricorder, a la Star Trek.

Dammit Jim! I'm a doctor, not a design engineer!
