deadwood writes "Ever wanted to know what Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos really thought about the Segway the first time he saw it? At the Harvard Business School site, there's an excerpt from the new book 'Code Name Ginger', giving a recounting of the Apple and Amazon bosses' first impressions of the device. Steve Jobs' gut reaction, quoted in the article: 'I think it sucks!'"

    If you rode that thing in the neighborhood where I grew up you'd get your ass kicked every day!

    For heaven's sake, how lame can you get? Or those that modded your millionth commercial up?

    On the other hand, this is pretty funny (in addition to pathetic): you get free publicity AND karma.

    What percent of the US market share does BMW have? And would you call BMW a shitty company for selling so few cars?

    No, but I would certainly call them a shitty car company if all their cars were slower then everyone else's.

    And I would call their owners obnoxious prices for thinking they were superior for owning over-priced slow-assed piece of junk just because it 'looks pretty'.
