Mega rich but aparantly has never seen a map, globe, or satellite imagery, and thus does not know that his monument is upside down relative to the conventional depiction of the earth.
Gah, I don't find MST3K anything other than ANNOYING. I just want those stupid people to SHUT THE HELL UP so we can watch the movie. Blah blah blah! You wouldn't go the the cinema and talk talk talk through the entire damn movie.
Sigh. Type 1 or Type 2? Type 2 for sure, but the public won't know that.
I wish they would just rename Type 1, "broken pancreas disease" or something, anything, to differentiate it from type 2 so that when I say "I have type 1 diabetes" I don't have to then explain why I'm not obese.
Making an advert that makes you feel sick and which even I couldn't stand to watch for more than a few seconds, can not be a good way to sell your product.
Now that said, the price I think is right, but that's 150k NZ, not US (closer to 100 US), and that's for the FIRST, economy of scale would indicate that price will come down rapidly.
However, rapid isn't something I'd call this. It is SLOW with a capital S-L-O-W. When you look at something like Asimo, which can actually RUN, why on earth is it taking this thing, which is human controlled, literally seconds to take each step.
The iBot was, is, an incredible feat of engineering, it can balance itself on 2 wheels, with exceptional stability, it can transition between 2 and 4 wheels, it can even climb stairs, on wheels!
Take these legs, stick iBot wheels and technology on them, and you have a probably mechanically simpler device with superior utility.
They are like modern day Ninja!

Or even better, an underground house with an entrance staircase which is simply a Tardis. I could say "come around for tea, I live in the TARDIS".
One day, when I'm rich.
Recitation without comprehension is a parlour trick and nothing more.
