I'm Batman. I've waited years —since the release of 1989's "Batman"—to say those words and mean them. Considering that I've spent the bulk of my professional life writing rather than building a superhero's physique, it seemed unlikely, save for Halloween,that such a day would come. It has. Virtual reality, long the stuffof science-fiction filmsand, more recently, cute but largely forgettable cellphone accessories, has arrived. Earlier this year we saw the release of the Oculus Rift and HTC's Vive, which makesit possible to put on a pair of goggles and disappear into a digital landscape—as long as you have a high-priced, top-of-the-line computer. Now with Sony's PlayStation VR, an add-onto the ware PlayStation 4 so many of usalready have hooked up to our TVs,virtual reality is comingto the masses. And it's bringing Batman along with it. The timing couldn't be better. Whether it's the outcome of the political season or simply the result...

By JANE E. BRODYAPRIL 13, 2009Throughout my early childhood I was tucked into bed with a gentle admonition: "Good night, sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite." Not that my parents or I had ever seen a bed bug or known anyone bitten by one.But these days this old saying has resonance for many more people than in industrial years past, including those who sleep in expensive homes and four-star hotels. Last month, a family living in a $3 million private house in Brooklyn discarded rooms' worth of furniture, the cushions carefully slashed and notes attached saying the pieces had bed bugs and were not safe to take.Had this been the case 40-odd years ago when I became a New York homeowner, I might have had a hard time furnishing my rooms; most were decorated with foundlings, including cushioned chairs. In those days, street scavengers like me had little reason to worry about bed bugs. But the bed bug problem has become so widespread in 21st- century America tha...

Western Australia is continuing to see a surge towards home solar energy, with the Tesla Powerwall attracting a cult-like following and new data showing Mandurah residents installed more solar panels and capacity than any other postcode in the nation last year. Tesla's much-hyped Powerwall home battery went on sale in December , with Australians among the first to be able to order the wall-mounted unit. Infinite Energy residential sales manager Rohan McGlew said hundreds of people had approached the company since it began selling the solar power battery system last week. "I have been in solar for over 10 years and this is the first product people have taken photos with," Mr McGlew said. Mr McGlew likened the Powerwall's popularity to an iPad, where slick design and marketing had captured consumer attention, even though similar products had been available for some time. Tesla, which has long sold solar battery storage systems made by other companies, is offering a b...
