It isn't ready as commercial product when they've got something working and tested and ready for production, it's ready when they've got all their patents and investors lined up and locked in.. and their competitors locked out.
If you've got solid money behind you, you can usually buy the innovators when they run out of cash or their business plan fails.
Does life begin when the printer stops, when the job hits the printer buffer, when it's queued, or when the user clicks the Print button? Should canceling a print job be a crime?
I'm sure that there is an undiscovered cave painting somewhere that when the iconography is deciphered, it will turn out to say "You want it when...?!" or "You don't have to be evolved to work here, but it helps!!"
Orson Wells and Mercury Theater had very few radio listeners in England. If the idea is scare the piss out of your audience, re-locating it in their backyard makes sense.
They should try bees. They're great at exploring, and when they return, they can do a little dance to tell all the other bees about the great pr0n site they found.
It's not always hidden pranks. Sometimes map makers put fake details in to catch copyright violations when someone uses their data for their own maps.
It must be loads of fun for people actually looking for one of the fake details. ("No--look, onna map! She show China just a leetle bit further!" "Sure Christopher, whatever.")
They might be headed for trouble with "pirated" binaries, which Google avoids by not carrying binary groups. As well, when I post my own material to binary groups, I'd be cheesed to know that they're turning around and selling my stuff as their content. I hope that they're going to honour x-no-archive flags.
The pixies in my garden say that there are no IPUs. On the other hand, I'm having a hard time believing that crackers are disciplined enough to find bugs and then sit on them for any length of time without trying to exploit them for fun and profit.
And make sure you remember it. Don't keep it on your hard drive or in your PDA! Otherwise the robots will read it* and add that one to the next version of Norton Anti-Paradox.

The government is going to watermark our butts!
Be careful with the no-name brand organ cartridge refill kits, 'cause they're like a box of chocolates...
I'm sure the spam for ch34p refills is queuing up already. They'll probably offer to sell you jumbo-sized printed organs too!
Email them with Occultlook Express or some afterlife contact management package?
Qantas has had John Travolta flying his 707 with their paint job for years now.

In our minds? What else did you expect from LIGO MindStorms?
A rule-of-thumb in software development: If a place has too many Dilbert cartoons on cubicle sides, have an exit strategy. If it has none, RUN!!!

They were just trying to bait Google...

Don't forget the music (Yes, it's evil, but it could be much much worse.)
