Toyota Targets Segway with Winglet Personal Transportation (Switched)

Aug 6th 2008 8:05PM As I forgot to add, these would however be useful for the handicapped for getting around. Those with limited mobility could use these to better their balance, and get around easier than with a wheelchair. I'm all for these for a good use-such as I just stated. But for people who CAN walk and without handicapped, you need to walk.

Toyota Targets Segway with Winglet Personal Transportation (Switched)

Aug 6th 2008 7:59PM At first glance at the segways, I thought that maybe they'd be a good invention to possibly go to and from work in [given that work is close to home.] However, upon looking up the speed of these things, they really only go about 6mph. Can we say scooter with a motor? Remember the razor scooters every kid wanted?? I'd say this is a version of that-with a motor. Perhaps if they were faster, they'd be useful at some things, but with their low speed, what use are they? We are a fat nation, and using one of these things to 'take a stroll' next door isn't helping! We need to WALK and EXERCISE more! Bicycles can go faster than these things, and get you to where you need to be faster and you burn more calories! What a toy for the rich who need to use one of these things to go from room-to-room in their million dollar mansions! Absolutely ridiculous.

New York Gym Offering Nintendo Wii Workouts for $110 Per Hour (Switched)

Aug 6th 2008 7:46PM Wow. Never would I have thought that video games could 'supply a workout' until the Wii came out. Has anyone ever played these games? Unless you spend HOURS playing it, it's hardly a workout at all! And at $110 AN HOUR?!? that's ridiculous! Just go out and buy the stupid game yourself if you want a workout! I go to the gym to get an actual WORKOUT, not a lesson in gaming and controlling your Wii character better. We complain about how unfit we are, and how we need to get off the computer/gaming systems and start /real/ exercise, and yet here we are, going to gyms to make it seem like we're working out, but in reality, we're simply playing more games.
And a note to the trainer, it'd be helpful if you yourself were in better condition. The girl she's training is in better condition!
This is definetly a ridiculous way of getting a workout.

Orlando Bloom: 'Even the Writers Can't Explain 'Pirates 3' (Cinematical)

May 12th 2007 10:00PM It's not supposed to be based on true fact, they took simple (for lack of better word) fairy tale characters and added more depth to them.

Orlando Bloom: 'Even the Writers Can't Explain 'Pirates 3' (Cinematical)

May 12th 2007 9:20AM POTC2 was not confusing to a lot of people I know. It just depends on if you get it or not. Personally, I think POTC3 will be a fantastic movie, as all the others were. Its peoples personal opinions on whether they liked something or not.

If you can understand the Matrix, POTC should be like, kindergarden stuff.
