Lego Mindstorms: What Went Wrong?

latif writes "In recent years, Lego Mindstorms has generated more media buzz for Lego than all of its other product lines combined, but surprisingly, Mindstorms seem to be out of favor at Lego. The Mindstorms line has been cut down to a single set and Lego is not interested in marketing even that set. Lego has been in a lot of financial trouble in recent times and its neglect of a product line with solid sales potential might seem odd but this is not so. I have done an analysis of Lego's Mindstorms options and my analysis indicates that Lego has solid economic reasons for backing away from the Mindstorms line."

Similarly, what went wrong with Slashcode this afternoon? It seems like four or five articles have all appeared at once even though their timestamps claim they were posted hours ago. Note the time of this article, the time of my post....and yet, FP? Wtf?

Simple!

Obviously Hemos saw this post, and was so shocked by the slagging on Slashdot going on in its own forums, that he took the time to build a time machine and avert this disaster!

That we still remember the past any other way is just an artifact of the time travel device used. Hemos, we salute you!
