Look at the copy of the page and go all the way to the bottom to the last product, and what do you find? It's a RUBIK'S UFO!
If this retailer already sells one Rubik's product, why be cheap and sell a knock-off alternative to another?
From a marketing perspective, now is the perfect time to bring this out. It's something new to attract more people to high-speed internet. By now, most people who don't have high-speed in areas where high-speed is readily available will probably not ever have high-speed unless there is more available through it.
I never found one either, until I started leaving it open overnight. It started taking up all my memory and not releasing it... I'd close as many tabs as possible, but the memory usage wouldn't budge. If I closed it and re-opened it, it would just suck up every bit of memory it was using before I closed it. Eventually, it started crashing Windows XP. Switched back to FireFox (originally used it in the first place, but found tab-surfing easier in Opera) and have not had a problem since.
Believe me, some American somewhere will file a lawsuit because the rain-sensor-controlled wipers came on when there was no rain, but rather because the sensors were dirty, and the driver had an accident blaming the distraction from the wipers unexpectedly turning on. Then when one gets away with it, a few thousand more will follow in a class-action lawsuit. This country sucks when it comes to stuff like this, and I don't blame carmarkers at all because they are exactly right.
You gotta find the network before the channel, and it's not that hard to run your own network, especially when the only users are zombies. If you knew the network, you'd simply need to get it shutdown.
Since the check engine light is also used to trick you into thinking something is wrong (thus you take your car to the dealer, they replace this and that for no reason whatsoever, reset the light, and bill you), I doubt you'll ever see that.

The fact that they outsource doesn't matter. Tell that to the 12 American technicians that just lost their jobs.

Check out compaqsucks.com. You can pretty much replace "Compaq" with any major brand name or service provider, and all the stories will be the same.

Lexmark doing crap like this has caused them to lose some sales.
As if their shitty printers didn't have some part in that?
According to an article at engadget.com, Delphi filed for the trademark on "MyFi". http://www.engadget.com/entry/5213323776608634/

I can see it now; my brake lights flickering because I've got 15 torrents downloading.
