But how does it work?

Think of it as an ink-jet but with water that you can program patterns into. It's a bit less impressive than the Bellagio water fountain—this has 3000 valves as opposed to Las Vegas's twenty bajillion—but it's still pretty neat. We'd like one of these in our showers to get to the dirty spots we can't quite reach. You know, everywhere.

<![CDATA[Giz Hearts Jalopnik: Hands All Over the Jeep Compass]]>

Our auto-erotic brother site Jalopnik just posted a review of the 2007 Jeep Compass, and they've gone ahead and taken a second look of the Jeep's electronic guts, just for Giz. Look for more of these tech-heavy video collaborative reviews in the future.

The Jeep Compass blends inexpensive with all-wheel drive to create something...different. While it may have the Jeep nameplate, it certainly isn't a Jeep in the more traditional sense of the brand. But what it lacks in 4WD performance, it makes up for with the number of gadgets and toys it's crammed into the space between the front and rear fenders. Although the model we reviewed didn't include one of the cooler tech features, the flip-down liftgate speakers, I think you'll see that what it does have is pretty sweet. If only the center console had an mp3 holder big enough for—well—you'll see for yourself.
