@Lizard_King: Maybe it straps to your feet, still BS though, but yeah.

@farcedude: It would push against the bottom of your feet to propel (if it were anything other than a placebo that is), that would be the operation principle i would guess, although you'd need to input counter-strength but I guess you could use gravity for that.

Placebo effect has been shown to work, it's just a pity it needs recharging now.

@djdurrani: When you have something manufactured in china you have to go there, see how they do, spot any flaws, tell them how to do it correct and from then on all will run smoothly, so this indicates that for some reason US management is avoiding the factory, doesn't seem to want to see it.

Designed to break easily, sounds more like a philips device.

@STiX: That works for people buying a TV anyway, not to convince people to switch to a new one really I think, not much at least.

His solution is like having a puppy lick up a state-wide flood.

The basic concept was known to the guys at the manhattan project, and yet it took them a long time and lots of figuring by some of the greatest minds in physics to make one.

Wow they manage to get an exclusive contract to sell sello tape? That's clever but a hellish thing to manage with a billion shipments a day.

@ddarcade: You make me realize that it's not clear if they just swapped the + and - physical buttons so that it only looks like it's reversed, which is just placing the set upside down in the case, or if they actually have reverse function, which is theoretically possible but would require quite a weird set of…

@SkipErnst: Did you ever see any of the many TV ads where they show how 'brand X' TV sets have such wonderful clarity and color and is HD? Shown on people's old NTSC (or PAL) SD sets? Seemed to work because there were plenty of those kinds of ads, it's all in the power of suggestion.

I'd rather have 'professional' soccer die out than 3D TV I must say.

So did any apple user manage to figure out how to adapt to this themselves?

Nice one

@achalddave: What we know: the kinect recognizes users, it logs them in and tells MS that way when they are in view.. but yeah it's all paranoia

How come nobody has to sign for receiving that alleged iphone selling for hundreds of dollars?

@DamiusX: Problem seems that they keep adding tags, first apple and iphone then ipad and iphone4 and there's imovie and itunes and at some point the authors just stop adding 50 tags and think up yet another new one so the user is left with making a custom URL that exceeds the maximum length.
