I used to think that publications like Popular Science were contractually obligated to print a blimp cover once a year. However, the idea never dies. Behold the Tethered Energy Blimp.

The problem with the internet and such mags is, when you do a sanity check a few years after the: "This will change humanity" phrases, they completely lose what little credibility that they had. It is just futurist techno porn to sell more advertisements and products. Still, I want my Flying Car and unlimited free/cheap energy.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
