NYU scientist Jeff Han, a great contributor to the invention of the multi-touch screen, was named one of Time Magazine top-100 most influential people in the world. WSN wrote a story about him about a year ago as his technology was getting introduced to the general public in the form of the iPhone. From Time:

Also in the top 100 are Mark Zuckerman, founder of Facebook, and Miley Cyrus. I mention Zuckerman because it’s amazing how one can gain influence from in front of his or her computer. I mention Cyrus because I think Time needs to keep her off this list until she does something, uh, influential.
