IT Is Overblown
from the calm-down-everyone dept
The inventor of IT finally spoke up on Friday telling people not to get too excited over IT. He says that there was a leak to the press, but people heard a lot out of context, and it was blown way out of proportion. A number of people keep emailing me to tell me that "IT" is just a motor scooter, but I'm still not convinced of that. Kamen has plenty of patents, and the motor scooter idea is just one of many possibilities. Of course, all this hype about IT won't matter once THAT comes out.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
