After a month of teasers and speculation, Lexus has finally shown off its real, live, working hoverboard. It may not be Back to the Future, but it’s still a mighty satisfying ride.

Here's how it actually works.

Looks very cool, I'd be surprised if it doesn't cause cancer in lab rats.

On a related note, one of my neighbors commutes on something like this (http://www.electricunicycleonline.com/airwheel-q5-14-inch-twin-wheel-self-balancing-electric-unicycle-170wh-led-light-blue.html). I saw people in Shenzhen using them about a year ago, now they seem to be getting pretty popular for short trips, I see a few every day. As far as I know, this is the first new method of commuting this century.

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
