I hope they actually do make a hoverboard. So many people will buy it, I know I would in a heartbeat. I think the price of it is way too high. Not that many people have that kind of money. I'm also surprised that Steve Jobs had to pay The Beatles for a name.

I hope that the hoverboard. But the price for it is ridiculous 10,000 dollars for just 1 hover board. I didn't think the new mac start up sound would be from the Beatles.

That's ten grand for only one inch of hoverage. Is that really worth it?

Google Maps is incredible enough, taking me to all the places in the world that I'd really love to go. But now to the Gombe National Park in Tanzania--way cool!

Yes, I believe the Apple start up sound is from the Beatles song THE END on Abbey Road. Surprised that the Beatles didn't sue Apple for the rights like they did with the name APPLE!
