i think a lot of the hate has to do with the Segway being so expensive, for doing so "little"..

it's more about a perceived elitist attitude of having enough money and not having to walk like all the peons..

if it was priced at less than 1000/each, and had Segway Dealers in WalMart, i think it would have a better chance than to be redesigned into appearing that the rider is producing more effort in its use..

if it was more affordable, i'd get one..

i'm not going to drive to a local blockbuster to have more lameware installed on anything that i own..

i got sick of blockbuster along time ago..

the shitty selections, edited for content movies, ignorant employees, the late fees scams..

now, you want me to actually drive to the store to do something that could easily be done at home without blockbuster's involvement..

i feel it's just another way of installing DRM/spyware onto your computer.. i do not trust content from large corporations..

so.. fuck blockbuster.. they are dying.. it's an 80's business model, and they have had their ass handed to them by Netflix..

Apple so far has been the *only* company to be able to do so and make it profitable..

it's not going to happen.. unless, Apple does it first.. now, i can see Apple kiosks in public places serving up content for iPods.. serving up "branded" content from other businesses..

fuck blockbuster..
