Coolest speakers ever

I've also been meaning to link to this USA Today article about a Japanese gadget called Ka-on that turns plants into audio speakers. I totally love this because it seems so natural and also so futuristic. I can't believe this quote is from a real news article:

Lower your ear to the foliage and hear the music emanate from the petals. Touch a leaf, and feel it shake as though in a quiet dance.



Later this month, you'll be able to carry on a telephone conversation with a flower with a planned speaker phone model.
