For some reason this story reminds me of the movie "Event Horizon" although I have never actually seen it before.

Liberate tutame ex inferis?

It's a trick! Soon we will witness the full power if this FULLY ARMED and OPERATIONAL airborne laser system!!!

Am I missing something? The article says the thing costs $600, but also says that this is "not realistically within everyone's budget". Wouldn't you recoup the $600 within the first two or three electric bills? Did they forget a zero? Something doesn't add up.

Retractable jetpacks. And instead of cheapo plastic, make the case out of a base polymer and powdered Fabergé eggs. Ya know, to give it that pre-Bolshevik classy Tsar touch. Finally, have an internal mechanism that makes smoothies and margaritas, for when I get thirsty.

GRoar1, if you're serious: The 1st World are the developed countries of North America, Western Europe and Australia. These countries have high GDPs and advanced economies according to the International Monetary Fund. The 2nd World was the Soviet Union and other Communist regimes, but the USSR went kaput and the 2nd World countries joined either the 1st or the 3rd Worlds. The 3rd World as you can no doubt guess are Africa and much of South America and South Asia. They're predominantly agrarian and frequently lack political stability. Nowadays the 1st World, 3rd World terminology is falling out of favor and people are instead using the terms Developed and Developing in order to make everyone feel better about themselves. Plus economists have come to the conclusion that it isn't quite so black and white as the old terms would have you believe. So now you know.

A flying unicorn in every home!

Carry this thing around if you never want to have sex ever again...

It isn't broken...I just don't like the way Apple designed it.

Ya know what would be nice? If the mouse button actually worked no matter where you pressed it. Honestly, on the current Macbook Pro, the mouse button either doesn't work or is unsatisfactorily mushy when you try to click it anywhere but in the exact center. Everytime someone borrows my computer I have to sit and coach them on where to click the mouse button. It's very annoying.

They need to give up on making humanoid robots for a while. It just looks wrong. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I'd rather interact with something that looks like Wall-E or R2-D2 than this monstrosity.
