The flying guy died. My guess the flying platform is a bit dangerous too. As is the baby sling.; 10/7/09, 1:52 PM

Those mounds of oriental joy,
Drove Perry to make the decision
To drop anchor and shout, "Oh buoy!"; 10/7/09, 4:03 PM

Whereas Barbra’s older generation fans (including those that are NOT diehard fans) are going to buy it. A huge part of Barbara’s sales were from QVC. "

Cedarford said...: The Japs used to be accused of being copycats. They agreed, and changed their educational system to open up innovation. Now Japs are crazy-innovative.

Now we are the ones afraid to innovate for fear some NYC lawyer will find a way to sue over any new product or idea. Change is legally dangerous.

So the Japs are free to do any crazy or nutty thing. And for every 19 useless or bizarre innovations they put on the market, they have a brilliant new idea that creates more income, more jobs for them.

Fred4Pres is right on the Japanese bar codes. Great idea. But imagine the lawsuits that could make in the USA over copywrite infringement, businesses suing other businesses over bar code readers that may have difficulty with aesthetically pleasing bar codes.; 10/7/09, 7:50 PM
