Don't worry. If we ever get real flying cars, people won't actually be controlling them. You'll just input your destination and the onboard computer (which is in communication with the computers of all the other cars in your vicinity) will fly you there. No one will be allowed to actually control one themselves without the equivalent of a present-day pilot's license.
When did this take place? Under Obama or Bush? If it was under Obama then Fox might be all over it. Depends on whether they love the war or hate Obama more, though.
Instead of red green and blue, could they use three different frequencies in the infrared range? Then they could also take photographs in normal visible light and wrap then around the model.
A loud clatter of gunk music flooded through the Heart of Gold cabin as Zaphod searched the sub-etha radio wavebands for news of himself. The machine was rather difficult to operate. For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive — you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure of course, but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same programme.

Another voice broke in, presumably Halfrunt. He said: "Vell, Zaphod's jist zis guy you know?" but got no further because an electric pencil flew across the cabin and through the radio's on/off sensitive airspace. Zaphod turned and glared at Trillian — she had thrown the pencil.

Like all DARPA projects Transformer TX is unlikely to succeed at all.
Unlike, you know, that whole "Internet" thing.

The same gap exists for the response to a second statement, "The universe began with a big explosion," with which only 33% of Americans agreed.
I wonder how many of the remaining 67% are people who accept that the big bang happened, but understand that it wasn't an explosion.
TV pitchman Kevin Trudeau was sentenced to 30 days in jail...
This alone made me smile
The guy is a serious asshat.

The purpose of DRM was never to stop piracy. That was just the PR line. The whole purpose of DRM is to kill the used game market.
