Read the fine print on bottom of the "rock n' run page".. it says:
The sensor's battery is not replaceable. Battery life will vary
considerably based on use and other factors.
So the $64M question is, how long does the sensor's battery last? This could explain the low price.. $29 may be cheap, but if you're buying a new sensor every year, suddenly it's getting expensive.
Almost half the cars on the list were cars running
on alternate fuel sources/hybrids.. that's nice
and all, but not what I would consider "Techno-cool".
Well, the truly funny thing is I hear that fat
guy in the MSN commercials actually runs Linux
at home..
And I'm pretty sure I read some posts of his
here on/. under the name ButterflyBoi4u..
Let's also not forget that in the Japanese
version of the A-Team, they had a big
sumo wrestler replace B.A. Barrackas.. and they
had to drug his miso soup in order to get him
on an airplane..
Actually, I know exactly how this meeting would go..
"Hey boys, I have a great idea for a game.. you play a penguin and you jump up and down on a 3D triangle, changing colors of the blocks as you jump. We'll call it, Tux-bert!!"
"Nah, that's not original enough.. I was thinking something along the lines of an RPG.. you play a penguin that has to collect 3 pieces of a Vax machine in order to save his town of Slashrule. We'll call it, the Legend of Tuxelda!!"
"Read the book, Body For Life ASAP, and eat
tons of protein.. In 6 years you'll be the
star quarterback of the football team, instead
of spending study hall crying in the bathroom."

Guess Business Week's next story will be about the dramatic increase in the stock price of companies that manufacture Suspenders..
