Gummi bears are a medium to reproduce fingerprints (and a delicious snack). This is a method to capture fingerprint images. Two completely different things.

Copper interconnect? I barely even know 'er interconnect!
Stop being so cynical, this is going to revolutionize the field of water soluble nail polish.

The problem with FLAC is how does one get FLAC?
Shit, I get FLAC all the time for my music. Especially if I play it really loud.

Millions of children in China learn Chinese every year, without even really trying! And you think it's so difficult
Plausible, but I think the evidence suggests that Auric Maplefinger might be involved.
Collecting was never fun for me. I never saw the point. When I was a kid, my dad tried to get me interested in coin collecting. He saw it as good "father and son time", but I hated it. We could have gone hiking or fishing, he could have taught me something useful. He was an electrical engineer, but he never taught me anything about electronics (I learned it all on my own). But instead of any of that, we spend our time going through bags of pennies looking for a rare 1939D. Bleh.
Now that I have kids of my own, we do active outdoor stuff, we build things, we do science experiments. My daughter has a great collection of Barbie shoes, but I was not involved in that (other than as a source of funding).
30 years from, your kids will be posting on slashdot (via direct neural interface) about how their father always dragged them out for stupid fishing trips (what was the point? Anyone could have foreseen that trout would extinct by 2017) instead of doing something useful with them like collecting valuable items.
As this article illustrates, the root of kleptomania is a desire for revenge upon a world that the person feels has treated them unfairly.
The article you linked to says absolutely nothing of the sort. In fact, citing the DSM, it says the following about diagnosing kleptomania: "The theft is not due to anger, revenge, delusions, hallucinations or impaired judgment (dementia, mental retardation, alcohol intoxication, drug intoxication)."
So I'm not sure what you were reading.

Yeah, the problem with the Internet is that there aren't enough libertarians making sarcastic comments. Also, why can't I find a good cat photo anywhere?!
The hard part is making the Nietzsche jokes.
I got 99 problems, but faster than light travel ain't one
If you're going faster than 299,792,458 m / s, check your measurements, son.
... Because I know when I walk down the Champs-Elysees in Paris, what I really want to be doing is looking at the world through the screen of my smartphone! Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?
Even better: sell t-shirts that appear blank but display hipster slogans when viewed through an AR app.
