I saw that too.  Really commendable.  But please, no snarky metric-nerd
comments on their use of centimeters.  To their great credit, they did not
use "inches".

Pick up the November 28th issue of Time Magazine, open at page 58 and
continue through 82.  Watch your jaw drop as you turn the pages.  

This is the invention issue, and this year, Time decided to spotlight the
hot inventions based on their size.  Every single one in metric, starting
from nanometers and finishing up with meters.  And no imperial equivalents.
Just equating the metric dimension with something a reader is familiar with.
This is the way it's done.  Bravo Time, a standing ovation!
