I love Dyson products.

Their Airblade hand dryer system that's all the rage in public toilets these days is awesome. It is undeniably faster and more cost effective than those piss poor fan systems. Plus they make me feel like I'm drying my hands in the future!

If its cool to the touch and not noisy then that's fair enough , but 90% of what dyson market is bullshit over hype its the apple of housing goods.


I disagree; unlike Apple, Dyson are genuinely innovative in what they produce. They certainly share marketing methods and pricing strategies though.

I bet you in terms of heating a whole room this heats the volume of the room at near to or exactly the same speed it takes a heater of the same wattage to fill the room with heat.

In the end the hot air will rise and its only until the room is full of heat from top down.

if you just want a jet of air in your face or to feel warm then sitting right next to a classic heater or a lighting / halogen heater will do better and cost less.

If its cool to the touch and not noisy then that's fair enough , but 90% of what dyson market is bullshit over hype its the apple of housing goods.

Thank you for your good will here, I genuinely appreciate it. It's one of the few acts of sincerity I've received on this board. Because of that, you've inspired me to present my defense. I will attempt to show that evolution is every bit as metaphysical as a belief in God. I will also attempt to answer the question you posed about compartmentalization. I should get to it later today. Thank you again.

I had a little rant here..ive erased it for civilities sake..if you want to address me in civilized manner instead of attacking my intellect, which I will assure you is doing just fine, let me know..
You mistake me, sir, for a common internet thug. My comment takes no such attitude. There exist very learned scientists who are among the most pious Christians ever. People like William Jennings Bryan, Freeman Dyson, and the head of the genome sequencing project, Francis Collins.
The younger Behe's answer about compartmentalization would probably, in my estimation, apply to all of them. That's not an attack on their intellect, sir. At least, I don't see it as one and I certainly don't mean it as one. In fact, a very decent argument could be made that such a sophisticated partitioning would require a degree of sophistication beyond that of normal needs.
For instance, I have very achievable compartmentalization requirements when I carry two opposing thoughts in my head. Typically, they are thoughts like "I hate 80s hair metal but I love that one song by Warrant" or the like. That kind of partitioning doesn't require a lot of mental horsepower but then, my needs are modest. You see what I mean?
As far as the second quote by Behe the Younger goes...well, I believe that sums up the entire ID stance and is similarly in no way an attack on your (or anyone else's) intellect. Hey, I get it: creationists feels strongly about this stuff and I'm not surprised they're trying to get around the rules.
Just understand that we also feel strongly.

They run on marketing hype. It's like magic where the magician gives a pile of crap the illusion of being desirable and then makes your money disappear.

In reply to this comment by spoco2:
Yeah, this is purely a really pretty lame attempt to get some *viral marketing going for their stupidly expensive fans.

And they ARE fans, because while they don't have a fan in the large bit, the base has a fan in it... so they are just Stupidly expensive fans which work no better than normal ones.

Unless you want to channel balloons around thousands of dollars of stupid engineering wankiness.

Sorry, but I find them to be just the most ludicrous lie of marketing... they DO have fans, and yet they're marketed as 'fanless air multipliers'... what tripe.

Give me a $15 pedestal fan over these any day.

Slap an Apple logo on there and you'd have people camping overnight in front of the store.

It's CERN on a macro scale. Put the balloon through one loop and a pin through another loop, and have them crash into each other. FOR MY AMUSEMENT!


Duh, how do you think nerf was discovered?
