Verb For Shoe shows off their... shoe

Doesn't look like they've done too much for the Verb For Shoe in the design department (hey, if we wanted to pay $500 for some ugs kicks we'd hit up Miu Miu), but those crazy kids were showing their WiFi-enabled footwear at Wired's NextFest. Do they actually work yet? We're not sure, but we're looking to replace those Adidas 1s already, so we'll keep peeping.

Hey man, you cropped out my copyright from the image you took from my site. All images on quentecafe.com were personally taken by me; this piracy is not cool and needs to be fixed.

Shakir Akbari, he was kind enough to link to you, so you got your site featured in a popular blog, so what are you whining about?

While I could care less if information is leeched from another site, stealing pictures is not cool.
Give the man credit for his pic.

While it is nice to be linked to from a popular blog like this, editing proprietary information (even if stating the source) without authorization is against the law.

If I didn't learn anything in my 4-odd years of college, I learned that plagiarism is uncool.

BAD KARMA for engadget
