Maybe I'm still bitter from living the first several years of my professional life in the internet bubble where every other day some super-funded startup claimed they had a product that would change my life. When all the Ginger/Segway hype started, I wasn't moved. I'd heard it all before and the only life-changing thing I'd encountered was puberty.
Well, it looks like I wasn't the only one. Not only are they not selling here in the US, but they're actually illegal in most of Europe. Gory details at Wired.
