dks writes "Yahoo! News is running a story about a personal flying machine originally developed for the military that straps on an individual's back and allows her to fly around for over two hours at a time. The prototype is now up for auction on eBay. The only catch--you have to agree not to operate the vehicle if you purchase it. Uh...yeah...I'm just buying it for display. Yeah, that's it."

    Considering the facts that

    • the name SoloTrek looks alot like StarTrek
    • the font of their logo is remarkably similar to the font used for TNG
    • they obviously are into science fiction
    How long until they get sued by a certain company protecting their trademark?

    I started writing this post trying to make a joke, but now I have thought some more about it; dunno...
