It's just an 'armless little bunny.

When you're stoned, you go with the flow. Joints are much easier to model using Blender (or similar programs) than complex structures like pipes and needles. The mockup in TFA is rather eerie - 80 foot high joints balanced over a moody desert scene. You half expect Johnnie Depp to come running on to the stage shooting randomly at non existent bats.

Maybe that will be in the trailer.

"If this is an emergency, hang up and dial 911".

Oh. Wait.

Nah, TL;DR.

It's going to be about sex.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.

Yes, they can get back on man rated Soyez. No booster required. But then the can't bring another crew up until the rescue capsule is replaced by - wait for it - another Russian booster.

Yo nerd! I heard you like passwords on your passwords.

The NSA.

Give the task over to Microsoft's marketing group. They're pretty good at obscure and arcane, not to mention downright weird.

We should name the diseases after politicians. Preferably members of the US Congress. They want the recognition.

Kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

Charge people $5 every 4 months (yes, the math is a bit different). Lots of things are paid by the quarter.

You do have a good point though, micro transactions have just never taken off and this would be a good use for it.

No, you saw a hologram. Which will show up about the same time as flying cars.

Because there are more risks than simply damage to the customer's furniture. If you are hauling stuff on a commercial basis without declaring it to the company insuring your vehicle you will likely find yourself totally naked in the event you have an accident (remember that clause in your policy that says no commercial activities?). So the nice little old lady that you ran over won't be able to get her medical bills covered by you unless she takes the time and effort to bring you to court. Unles you just happen to have that extra $100K to give to her.

So the state has a general interest in ensuring that you are safe, competent and insured. It's not just about you.

OK, here's a new idea for a start up...

A telepresence physical abuse robot.

Works with all major video conference systems. Able to get right in the face of the appointed victim and the user gets to chose from several different forms of intimidation - having the robot inflate to a larger volume, a soft plastic club, a metal bar or perhaps a tazer. The possibilities are endless.

Besides, development would be fun.

The 'small ecosystem' is likely to be his refrigerator.
