USB Wine: download wine via the net...

(Man, I was so tempted to put this in the vintage channel...)

It's in French, but I'm sure you get the idea...

Either this is a somewhat clever gag or the French have untapped the secrets of quantum space distortion, but the USB Wine dispenser plugs into your USB port and dispenses wine. It's available in three colors, inner-city tap, wine, and orange. We're not sure exactly how it works, but it seems like the thing actually holds a little bit of wine that will come out when you turn the tap. It's only 10 euros, but 10 euros can get you a lot of stuff, most of which don't wear out its welcome within a day. Oh, and apparently there's no Linux support! Their website is http://www.mensup.fr/usbwine/, and I speak French, and I've been there, and they seem, puzzlingly, serious.

Oh wait, I clicked on the page, where they say the product will be available in 2239, but you can buy wine now. So I guess this makes this viral, though I'm a bit unclear on the concept. Viral? But wait, how can it be viral if it is an explicit commercial? I'm so confused.

Translation of the first part:

Incredible, no?

This apparatus is the USB Wine, and it's very pleasant. Now, you too can can get this extraordinary technology. Hurry! Watch how this revolutionary technology works:

You put the USB Wine into your computer, you access the wine store specifically for the USB Wine, you visit the best vineyards in the world with one click of the mouse, and choose your wine, and begin the telecharge. Your wine is sent directly to your USB Wine, into your bottle.

And you can also get the label! Wow! What a revolutionary product! And now, there is a special deal: the USB Wine doesn't cost but 9.95 Euros.
