Segway Isn't Ginger
from the it's-all-smoke-and-mirrors dept
Remember all the hype surrounding Dean Kamen's "IT" or Ginger product when it was first (secretly) announced? Then, when the Segway was finally launched people wondered if that was all there was to IT. Now, the latest fun rumor is that the Segway is really a red herring to keep people away from the truth about IT. People are speculating that it really is a hovercraft, or some other device that's a lot more interesting than a random big, overpriced, scooter.
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
