Epson's Female Printer
zmcnulty writes "I finished translating the K-Tai Watch (Japanese) article about a new printer in the Colorio line from Epson. It's not only being marketed at women, it was completely designed by 'Team8' - an all-female project team created within Epson specifically for making a printer 'easy for women to use.'
Here is the original Japanese press release." Apparently they've been reading these studies.

Lighten up....
Man...seems you can't tell a joke about anyone these days without them getting all upset or PC about it.....with the possible exception of white males....they're open targets...
Not being racist....just an observation.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
Ask most women why they buy a car. Because it's pretty. The color matches her shoes, or whatever.
I've been fighting with my girlfriend over what car to buy next. She wants "pretty", and I want it to be mechanically sound, and affordable
She points at a Hyundai Tiburon, and I say "no".
She points at a Porsche Boxter S, and I say "affordable? no."
She points at a Mazda Miata, I remind her of the last one that died at like 60,000 miles. "no".
Actually, the Hyundai dealership thought she was nuts. She drove her '98 TransAm there, and said she'd be trading it for the Hyundai. That set the whole "she's gotta be kidding" attitude.
We're coming to some agreement on the issue, but it's going to be something both can agree on, since I'll be making the payments.
She has an iMac, because it's cute. I can agree to it because it's OS/X .
She has flowery, girlie things throughout the house, but I don't have much of a choice but to agree to those.
She'd want that printer, because it had some frilly feature that she wants. Paint it pink, that'll sell even more of 'em.
Serious? Seriousness is well above my pay grade.
