Half of the world's Segway sales are to this dance troupe.

It's like a totally useful Segway.

I think it's the segway of light rail public transit.

Perhaps they're inspired the commercial stunt of the Segway owners

Your video, Segway falls and crashes, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

That was cool. Lots of the backlog videos I haven't seen yet.
I remember before Dean Kamen announced the Segway there was lots of speculation he perfected the Stirling engine... and the letdown of what he actually unveiled. He is back to work on Sterling systems though, so perhaps somebody will get one to work well.

Began speaking about God then segwayed into religion. Not the same.

It's a segway, in more ways than one.

If that wasn't satisfying enough, here's more!


Seems like a good time to segue to this Justin Bieber video.

Segway 2.0: Nice idea, impressively engineered but comercial fail because no one pays 6000€ for something like this.

What I liked is that it made the case for both hands being free so that you can carry a box. I assumed the alternative was walking...where my hands are surprisingly without much to do. I suppose it could be making the case for people who carry boxes while using a Segway...I hope that's no one.

I don't universally scorn Apple, but they have been systematically tarnishing their own image for the last several years. I think the "vs" ads were the last positive thing they did in that regard.

Historically, Mac's bread and butter were the creative industries and now they're stifling the creativity of their users. They're driving off their faithful user base and now they're primarily left with the "snobby douchebag" market who only buys their stuff as a status symbol.

Then there's the lawsuits. They shut down Think Secret, went after Psystar and BluWiki, and most recently they've threatened Xiph. They're behaving like the RIAA.

Speaking of which, there's the DRM. They eventually caved and went DRM-free on their music, but not video content.

They're doing all these things as the free and open mindset is taking hold. They're fighting trends which are good for consumers and they still have the audacity to act like their shit don't stink. The iPad probably wouldn't be such a huge joke if they hadn't hyped it up like the Segway.

Just a few years ago they launched the iPod. MP3 players had been around for a while and other companies even had far superior products, but they marketed the iPod well and managed to become ubiquitous. They were the epitome of "hip"; now they look out of touch. The iPad unveiling reminds me of McCain's green screen speech.

Look, there is one very big mistake that Apple has made. They are losing the culture war. VideoSift skews a bit younger than me - I think the median age is about 29 - and the dislike and mistrust of Apple seems to be pretty universal among you all. We can blame the closed nature of the iPhone OS, those douchy "Mac vs. PC" ads, or maybe just that Apple is no longer the beleaguered, scrappy underdog. For whatever reason, hearts and minds are not with Apple at the moment.

Yes, because selling independent games was never profitable until Apple offered to play morality police and charge you 30% for the privilege.
>> ^dag:
And for all the squealing about Jobs' choke-hold on the platform - it's good to remember that Apple has empowered a whole generation of "little guy" developers to make good money from the app ecosystem - wresting power from the established game behemoths like EA. Good luck making a little game on other platforms - AND actually making dosh from it. The same kind of disruption-- upsetting the applecart of the big publishing companies-- appears to be in the works for self-published authors.

^ Haha! Nice call.

They see me roll on
my Segway
I know in my heart they think I'm white and nerdy

You want "segues". Segways are scooters.

Ha, teaches me not to use fancy words (although I did not realize that I was using one that fancy). Thanks for the correction.
