Many adults are very impressionable when it comes to clothing too.

Very true, most of our society is heavily influenced by the media, I will admit that I am influenced, I mean almost everybody is. I think that I am less influenced than others but I think it's just human nature to copy and mimick each other...too bad.

The media has always altered people's way of thing. Propaganda is a personal intrest of mine, always fun to see how you can control people's minds.

If media didn't work..it wouldn't be around.

Propaganda is great, it's help the US take down many a small government.

would i be cool if i were to blow USD$5 000 on one? i may as well buy a ricer

that article was the dumbest one i read yet. better yet, it is amazing that these dorks try to make a classist eliteist system out of these stupid-fucking looking scooters. why would anyone want to spend 2 days with the inventor of this?

yes, the segway is pretty kooky, but it is nothing revolutionary, like EVERYONE makes it seem.

Actually, it is pretty revolutionary

How about a drawing for it, maybe tickets for $2 each, or make Defcon $80 with 5 free Segways going out....

yeah, i think this is the first product from this technology. as i understand it this technology is being developed with the aim of creating a new wheelchair system to enable handicapped people to be much more mobile. they're talking about a wheelchair that can go up stairs and such.

some funny stuff on bad design...

recalling 6,000 of these 5,000$USD machines...

http://www.wired.com/news/print/0,1294,60606,00.html

one would think they would have a nice usb 2.0 interface or lan interface to download the latest patches and updates... sigh.

I had heard stories of this, and I find it odd there isnt a monitor or something for these things, hell even one of my remote control cars has one of those.
As for the patchs, I know cars can be tuned thru a car computer deal, but it would be cool if they could just patch it and let the usr acually patch it, would be cool if they hacked it to.

I think once they have the problems sorted out the goons should get one for con. Any man on a segway would be ubersexy.....
