Make it cooler

Get rid of the stupid handle, and instead use it's gyros to sense you leaning right or left (or use pressure plates like the Wii Fit board). At that point, it would be much more skateboard like. Maybe even shrink the giant wheels.

Of course, the real problem is most Americans don't live in dense cities, I feel fortunate that I'm 5mi from work and 1mi from the grocery store, but for neither of those cases is it faster or more convenient. Even for my very convenient life, there are zero things where the segway beats the car for transporting me (nevermind if I want to bring a friend). Maybe if I lived in a city where parking was scarce and I had things close by (
So does this mean that if you rip a robot's power supply from it's cold chassis you suddenly are some sort of crazed killer?

"Inhumane" will always be an emotionally charged gray area, and there's no point using logic when you're discussing emotions.

C'mon how many of you have had to explain to your girlfriend about why you had to kill the Big Boss in some video game, and she got sad/upset when you did?
Laser hair removal isn't what you all think it is. Speaking as someone who's going through the "professional" route, it's a 1-3y process and each time you come in it decreases your hair count slightly. It is more painful for denser hair but the techs who do the work should be able to adjust the intensity of the laser to suit your pain threshold.

Of course, given the cost of a single year of treatment is in the thousands, this device will probably also be in that range. And being the first of it's kind, it's going to be fraught with all sorts of problems: burns, slow results, and of course the infinitely stupid users who will try to laser off their eyebrows and end up blinding themselves.
Nick:

This is a Spanish manufacturer. They have closed course road tracks in Europe (and they're trying to bring them to the US) where it is perfectly legal to run as fast as you can. Your implication is as bad as saying every mp3 is pirated.

And cops sometimes are smart enough to sieze video equipment any of those non-law abiding racers use, and it helps them to prosecute. So why is that a bad thing?
Dear Ford Motor Co,

I recently purchased one of your vehicles, and when I got home, I ran it into my house because I stepped on the gas too hard. You owe me a new car and a new house, because your cars have too much power.
Thanks,

Suddenly the name "go" doesn't seem so bad....

But seriously, this is as big a gaffe as marketing a car called "nova" in Spanish speaking countries (in which it means "doesn't go").

Ya know, you could spin it to be "w2", but if that were the case I'd just (somewhat acurately) call it the Cube^2
What exactly does this have to do with Windows?

And to everyone who says "it's photoshopped because it's smudged" - real photos (such as from cheap digital cameras as are found in cell phones) have smudges... RTFA and there are a dozen more that make it very obvious it wasn't PS'd.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
