Re: The last time we heard something like this...
while I scorn that (...) idea as much as you, neither of us are venture capitalists. Segway was a business gamble and so is investment in ANY, even the vaguest idea (or even "I have no idea" idea). You invest a couple of millions here, a couple of billions there, and generally, one of those crazy ideas or non-ideas take off and Homo "Sapiens" becomes hooked (facebook, etc.) and you reap your profit. Would you mind investing a couple of pennies here and there, hoping to get a few grand in return? Wouldn't you play the lottery for 1 p. when you can reap a million?
