Someone Oughta Be Shot

#1 Unread post by Wrider »

Found this on a tech blog I frequent. Some guys strapped a whole crap-load of technology to a Vino 125 and think it's the best thing since sliced bread! :laughing:
It's interesting for sure, I'm just not sure how
1. it's operable while you're running down the road, and
2. the charging system keeps up, from what I can tell they didn't do any charging system upgrades!

Dear god, geeks have learned how to work on things with motors. Imagine what will happen if they gain people skills! Oh, wait, right.

Since it's a "Geek Scooter", I'm surprised they didn't put a Mac in it. :laughing: Now, playing a guitar while riding down the road and watching TV... What is wrong with this picture? :shock:

The last time I checked Apple bought Caldera Linux, so I believe OS X is Linux.
