    Concept Gadget Could be the Best Gift for Women

    Swinging ball for kinetic energy? All these concepts have **** like that. It's a perfectly good idea - but the fact is if it ever made it to market, they'd just stick in some batteries. *Post edited by moderator* Cool it on the language.

    Sony Patents Game Demos That Rot Over Time

    Why do people keep saying it will be cracked? Of course it will. But how is that ANY different from what the current state is. People are going to crack the full games anyway...how is this any more accessible? It's not. I think it's a great idea for the honest consumer. This dishonest one...
