Helicopter was awesome, but I don't understand why they can give a laptop 10 hours of batter life, yet this small toy is only capable of 15min.

@nowzadick heck yah!

omg that table was awesome

@scholesville yes, looks they're using wave for their multiuser data syncing. I still can't believe Google is dumping wave just because the BETA wasn't being used by loads of people. It's the innovators like these guys who will find new uses for things like wave. It's stupid to kill something before its even been given a chance. And to think Google will happily sink 100's of millions into crappy little facebook game companies and not even put a few million aside for something that could be great
