Check this "dragon chopper" motorcycle. I'm sure that there'll be a number of buyers for these that will end up disappointed when it comes time to actually register and plate them. (For one thing: no place to hang the plate!) Little details like no break or turn lights, an EPA certification that's probably virtual, might make it hard to get on the road. Which is good.. because if you do get it up to the claimed 128 MPH (from a 200cc aircooled 1 cyl engine, narf!), slowing with the cable front breaks could be problematical even if the frame holds up. From a seller that got a shipping container from China, and once they're sold, he's gone. All these warning signs, and people still buy them online, sight unseen.
I think I'll keep an eye on what PDAs with 802.11 are going for at the cheepy discount places. Being able to plant one just about anywhere (with a power source of some kind), and have it be able to connect back home is a nifty solution looking for problems to solve. Car alarms?

I don't think I noticed any mention of that in their recruitment ads. Hmm, nope.

Don't worry, just install the new patched version of McAfee. I believe the internal name for this release is called Skynet.
Cool, another Grand Theft: Monopoly fan!
Which is why I always buy property on the Moon on the side facing the Earth, never on the farside!
I swear the break / brake typos were not deliberate on a conscious level. Not enough coffee for conscious levels yet.
Still .. beautiful plumage!
Argh! There is no such thing as "more evolved".
Virtual nuns with rulers. The pope probably holds the patent on that.
I'd like a combination laptop-chainsaw!

It sounds like they're going to thumb a ride.

That's what you get for having different bus routes for every day of the week and phase of the moon.
But does it run Linux?
At least we know why Maggie isn't walking yet--she's just waiting for her tentacles to grow out.
They look like some kind of weird graphics rendered into the third dimension using frinkahedrons.
