Self tying sneakers and hoverboards - GGD - 03-17-2016
Saw these two articles next to each other in Google News just now. Seemed appropriate.

re: self tying sneakers... seems like an overly complicated solution to a simple problem. My son (and now my wife) have been using a lacing system that works really well and doesn't require motors. The laces are like small bungee cords, and there's a plastic lock and clip system to keep them in place. They're called Nathan Lock Laces. They sell for like $8/pair.

I agree, those self-writing internet posts get you nowhere.

Well that's one way to limit competition. Those balance boards are pretty much banned for anyone under 16 in CA.
I was surprised to not find "swagway" listed in the suit.
