Exciting news for inventors - off subject!

[kaz]

There was a piece on GoodMorining America this morning about it. I think it
rates pretty high on the coolness factor. Would be great if they could
replace all those damn mopeds with this.
Might be interesting to find out what OS it uses too.

Here is the biggest news story since the invention of the wheel!

A device for carrying a user with a desired unassisted motion over a
surface, the user being a standing person, the device comprising: a. a
platform which supports a payload including the user; b. a ground-contacting
module coupled to the platform, the ground-contacting module including only
two laterally disposed and separately rotatable primary ground-contacting
members, the platform and the ground-contacting module being components of
an assembly; and c. a motorized drive arrangement, mounted to the assembly,
the motorized drive arrangement causing, when powered, motion of the
assembly.
