Loremo


If I thought that the Loremo was coming to the US any time in the next decade, I'd be planning on this for my next car. There are two doors, the front and the back, and you step into the car (video). Sadly, it doesn't look like this car or any of the alternative plug-in vehicles are going to be readily available to the consumer for years and years yet. At least not in the U.S.

Adjust Your Set

Why isn't there a basic cable channel that shows an endless loop of HDTV calibration instructions? It could air pluge patterns to properly adjust your brightness and so forth. While this wouldn't be quite as awesome as a 24 hour channel that did nothing but fact-check the previous day's excreta of politico lies, it would be at least slightly awesome and is much more easily achievable.
