Estimated time drivers save by using real-time GPS traffic updates
Drivers that use GPS systems with real-time traffic info spend 18% less time behind the wheel than those who do not.

That's just begging for eight big guys with guns to shoot you in the head to 'save everyone'.
I give him two days and he's a corpse.
Isn't it amazing how a thread about Heely's turns into an Apple-Microsoft fanboy suck-off?
Well I might as well add this thing looks just like the iPhone.
I bet those would go over real well at airport security.
your mom would go real well with airport security.
Don't be a tard mac boy!

@chrish
Aren't all mac boys arrogant tards?
PC For the win!

As a Mac user, I do not condone such arrogance. I hope you burn with the rest of the fanboys.
Fairly sure he's referencing information from one of the recent generations of Powerbooks before the step to Intel. Also he references the "hockey puck", which was phased out during the summer of 2000. I've been a PC guy all my life, went to school for IT, decided to change focus and study audio production, bought a macbook pro, and i'm wholly satisfied. It runs windows when I need it to, and my home theatre PC is still happily running XP Pro. The OS's can co-exist, it's just fanboys (on both sides) that give the bad wraps.
cool design
Not only is that big in the UK, but also in the US.
I have such an awful urge to trip any kid using that at the mall.
As far as i've seen they're bigger in the US than the UK. When i visited Florida these crappy things were everywhere. Whereas i have only seen one or two trippable little hooligans rolling around over here in the UK
They arent nearly as popular as they use to be. I remember in 7th grade when they first came out and kids started to crack their heads open. Nearly every school district started to ban heely's or you werent allowed to have the wheels in them and so forth. I for one never saw the point.. waste of money if you ask me
Yes, they are around here in the USA as well. I for one welcome them because nothing says, "Spoiled brat to totally avoid" like a kid who has those. Anything to make picking out the brats easier and increase their mortality rate is something to be encouraged in my eyes.
I normally push those kids over!
I HATE THOSE HEELYS!! SO OVERRATED AND KIDDISH!!! OK I KNO A FRESHMAN WITH THOSE THINGS!! I WANNA TRIP HIM SOO BAD WHEN HE SHOWS OFF WITH THOSE CRAPPY THINGS!!!
Theres nothing more kiddish than caps lock. Shaddup.
actually i used the shift key thank you very much
Just Britain? They're wildly popular here. Quite frankly, I wish I had something like that when I was a kid. They're actually pretty cool, and at least the kids learn to do something. From what I hear its sort of like skating or bike riding... otherwise you will fall over!
Nope, you can walk in them too, but why bother. The faster you get to your destination the faster you can move on to something else. Its just another form of instant gratification.
ummmm, not to be annoying but that big green block is clearly an LCD not 'LED'.. unless led lights now have tiny displays in them. that would be cool...
I, for one, welcome our Heely powered overlords.
I am really not getting this whole PC vs Mac thing. They are both intel based computers capable of running windows or OSx, or pretty much any other OS - other than packaging, what is the difference?
Uh oh.
Ugly can of worms you opened there Oban.
Let the flaming begin.
"formerly great nation"
wanker
"shopping mall"
they're called shopping centres in this great nation (note how centre is spelled correctly)
But you have the spelling, 'spelled' instead of the more British, 'spelt'.
:)
I worked in a sports shop (until when I quit that bloody hellhole yesterday!) and people go mad for those heelys, I dont even understand why, if you really wanna roll around then we also sold strap on wheels and they were about 20% of the price
Sportsworld are wankers, never shop there
O how I hate them. Been at work for a few months for the summer and then I go to town for the first time since starting work and they're everywhere!
I actually thought of Dune's stillsuits before THe Matrix.
stop saying ironic. it's not ironic.
