Wonder if this is for real. Costs $60 for an occasional use version of $300 for everyday use version.Neat.

The system allows moving heavy and bulky objects safely over adverse terrain, yet gives the sensitive control necessary to navigate over fragile hard-wood and custom tile floors and around interior walls.

Interesting "theft" of radio station information. I don't think one passes the smell test, but I hope it does. Information wants to be free.

Armed with the playlist data, Microsoft's computers try to replicate the various station playlists by dipping into the company's vault of 500,000 licensed songs. (Unlicensed songs -- like those by The Beatles -- don't get played.) Microsoft hopes the online clones, available only to PC users for now, will sound a lot like original stations, just without contests, jingles, chit-chat or local commercials.

Is all this legal? Microsoft, after all, isn't just using station call letters. It promotes its clones by using station nicknames (i.e., Star 100.7 or K-Earth 101) and, in some cases, their slogans ("today's best rock hits," "lite rock, less talk"). If you go to the Radio Plus website and click on Salt Lake City, for example, a list of 11 choices will pop up, including "Like 92.1 FM/KUUU U92 Blazin Hip-Hop Beat" and "Like 100.3 FM KSFI FM 100 Continuous Soft Hits."

It's time for you to tell lists how to behave, instead of letting them run wild on your web page.
