    The only way to get the toy to say something not intended is to somehow capture and retransmit the IR data, or to create your own circuit that reponds to the transmitters. A group has been created to figure out the system at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/re_palmickey

    Just think. Someone manages to reverse engineer the network being used and publishes specs that enable anyone with the desire to plug in to this network with their favorite PDA. Then someone maps out the locations of various signals one will encounter. The next step would be customized content.

    Maybe it'll be a hidden Mickey guide. Or maybe a guide of more morbid fare.

  2. All Disneyland deaths in detail.. by delus10n0 · · Score: 1 · on Coasters to Face G-Force Limits?

    It doesn't have the most recent, but it's got everything else. Enjoy!

    Disney, IBM and McDonalds are just as successful as Microsoft at marketing (perhaps IBM a little less so). And just like MicroSoft, their products never kill people.

    Just because you're not bothered by a MegaCompany that uses the most underhanded tactics they can get away with to take what they want doesn't mean the rest of the world will pull the wool over their eyes and see the world through your rose coloured glasses.

    And when was the last time you heard of any problems at Disneyland?

    You one of the ignorant mass who believe Disneyland has no problem.

    Well, Disneyland and Microsoft are doing exactly the same things - covering their asses with good marketing coverup. You are a happy guy who believe in their publicity.

    And when was the last time you heard of any problems at Disneyland?

    Apart from the numerous fatalities on the monorail and rides? Maybe the gangfights broken up by plainclothed security. Let's see... first gangfight in 1976, first recorded murder in 1981. Still, the Disneyland Security guys, backed up by hidden cameras play hardball , they're into handcuffing suspects to metal railings, lengthy interrogations etc. Don't try to enter if you have the wrong hair colour

    What's amazing is that a place that caters for so many people has so few problems. But problems it has.

    Too much is, obviously, too much. :)

    Im talking about normal women, not some beach babes who cant eat or drink for the fear of getting "fat" but keep taking speed instead.

    I'm talking about the likes of Kate Winslet.
