and there it is

OK, so now that the site has finally loaded, I can see that this is a [not very funny] joke site. Seriously, I see that Timothy put on the headline that it is from the lighten-up joke dept, but if you are going to post a fake site on a supposed news site, at least make sure you bandwidth test it before posting. You could've had 200 of your closest friends load the site and see how fast it loads... scale that up by 3 orders of magnitude and you can determine that a joke that takes 20 minutes to load isn't all that funny.

Also, as a long-time reader of /., I'd prefer to keep the joke stories confined to Apr 1st.

READ THE THING

Some of your replies:

So what's the point? To make people look even more stupid that they do on a segway?

to the tremendous hype that was built around it. There was one good fallout from all the hype though. People started to think of alternatives. That I believe is the true value of the Segway and now the "MegWay"

If Lindows lost to MS, then Megway is certainly going to be sued by (and lose to) the Segway guys.

It's very similar to the Segway, certainly in the same market, and it's name only differs by one letter. Surely Segway's lawyers won't be happy.

Did anyone even read the article? Newsflash (with annoying scolling subtitle): Its a spoof.

another tired dupe

News? Hardly. Google shows this foolishness was on the web in December 2001. It wasn't very funny then, and it is even less funny today.

Can we have a subject category for irrelevant, boring dupes?
