Finally you're no longer an alcoholic, you're a social drinker!<br><br>If only it wasn't named "Lover's Cups" and instead something that I could get for my good friend. Maybe "Long Distance Alcohol" or something. This way the you could market it as LDA, which is also "Legal Drinking Age". Practical and educational, with alcohol.<br><br>Do you know when will it be available?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Guy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 10th 2006 1:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on &quot;Lover&#039;s Cups&quot; let distant friends share a beer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/lovers-cups-let-distant-friends-share-a-beer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/lovers-cups-let-distant-friends-share-a-beer/</guid><description><![CDATA[... No, not a waste of brain matter. These things *need* to be invented; to demonstrate that human creativity should know no bounds, and to demonstrate that such creativity still exists so there's hope for a better world.<br>#5, what would be your suggestion? That all that Man produces, is to the better of Big Corp's CEOs only ..?<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jurgen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 10th 2006 3:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on &quot;Lover&#039;s Cups&quot; let distant friends share a beer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/lovers-cups-let-distant-friends-share-a-beer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/lovers-cups-let-distant-friends-share-a-beer/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm not going to suggest anything either, but seriously, this sounds like a truly pointless "invention".<br><br>Actually, I will suggest a new invention. How about a cellphone that vibrates when your significant other makes or receives calls so that you can be in tune with her calling habits?

Remember almost every product that you use everyday is a culmination of the works of others.  Thats why human beings have advanced so quickly and monkey's still live in trees.  Besides if you were an engineer at MIT wouldn't you want to do something fun every once in a while?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Josh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2006 12:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on &quot;Lover&#039;s Cups&quot; let distant friends share a beer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/lovers-cups-let-distant-friends-share-a-beer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/lovers-cups-let-distant-friends-share-a-beer/</guid><description><![CDATA[GREAT IDEA.....Why didn't I think of this at the last Mensa meeting?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2006 1:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on &quot;Lover&#039;s Cups&quot; let distant friends share a beer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/lovers-cups-let-distant-friends-share-a-beer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/lovers-cups-let-distant-friends-share-a-beer/</guid><description><![CDATA[i guess if one has the means then one can do anything one wishes to, not everyone is expected to own one of those cups, and if u find the idea a waste of brain matter, just go grab yourself the everyday can u've always been using...i personally find them exciting. anyway not everything invented should be towards making the world a better place, we can try put some humour into it while we're at it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Maples]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 16th 2006 9:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on &quot;Lover&#039;s Cups&quot; let distant friends share a beer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/lovers-cups-let-distant-friends-share-a-beer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/lovers-cups-let-distant-friends-share-a-beer/</guid><description><![CDATA[Although mechanical examples of computers have existed throughout history, the first resembling a modern computer were developed in the mid-20th century]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anjali]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 19th 2009 7:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on &quot;Lover&#039;s Cups&quot; let distant friends share a beer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/lovers-cups-let-distant-friends-share-a-beer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/lovers-cups-let-distant-friends-share-a-beer/</guid><description><![CDATA[hey,<br><br>i think it's a great idea. my boyfriend is in the peace corps in china and with the 12 hour time difference and lack of regular internet or phone, it's just hard to get in touch. it'd be nice to have something like this for when he does get into an internet-capable area...i think it's a nice quiet way of saying "i'm thinking about you".<br><br>people are so cynical outside of the movies. :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sigma]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2006 8:39AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
