Popular Science has a Spanish version from
April 21,
2008, whose editor is

In
July 2007, Popular Science launched PPX, the
Popular Science
Predictions E
Xchange. Here, people could place virtual bets as to what the next
innovations in
technology, the environment and
science would be. The system of the PPX is based on the ability of
wagers to predict the future. Bets include whether
Facebook would have an
IPO by 2008, the launch of a
touchscreen iPod and whether China's
eco-city,
Dongtan would be inhabited by
2010.
So far, the touchscreen iPod has proved the ability of the exchange to predict technology trends.
