I have had a SodaStream for about 5 years, and love it. No schlepping is the #1 advantage, and the costs are decent. A recharge canister is only $15... I like it, and use it regularly.
I am backing a new Project on KickStarter for a device called SPRiZZi, which is more like a Keurig-type experience for soda... It is closing soon, so check it out!
The reason market driven changes won't work here is that there is an "industry standard" that everyone follows. If there was someone who offered an alternative, and that company had the ability to make the product available, then as people started leaving current providers to go to this new innovative service, then change may occur.
As it is, the industry players are entrenched and made it hard for any new players to enter the space.
Violent video games are like peanut butter," said Christopher J. Ferguson, of Texas A&M International University. "They are harmless for the vast majority of kids but are harmful to a small minority with pre-existing personality or mental health problems."
Peanut butter is dangerous to people with pre-existing mental problems? :)
I have a young friend, around 23 or so, who grew up with Star Wars that has a movie concept. His stuff is amazing, I hope they look for that kind of driven fan talent.
Newer system

It does start early.
I was playing Mario with a friend's 5 year old nephew, and dropped the f-bomb, then looked at me and said: "Shit, please don't tell my mom!"
When is he running?
When is he running for something? This is a man I would vote for!

Re: Re: Big Brother
I disagree. Sounds like a textbook case of PEBKAC .
Monster
I'm surprised that Monster Cable hadn't beat them to it, considering their record for going after anyone who uses monster in anything...

The "up" side is that those countries will fix that once they read about the workaround...
Re: sodastream
I can't come close... I've had mine since 2008...
Re: Off-topic question
They calculate the 2000 bottles by family... Avg size of 4. Not unreasonable for 1.25 bottles per person per day...
Re: Re: Re: may have to buy one.
Actually, they have a line on flavors that have all natural sweeteners. They use cane sugar instead of HFCS.

This guy in a prison yard with the other inmates, when asked what he's in for: "Video taping movies" :)
It's too bad we didn't think of it first
If we had filed first, they couldn't do it without our permission....
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is dangerous to people with pre-existing mental problems? :)
Good Idea
Having his products available would be great (and some customers would actually expect to see them).
Plus I could go for some Jahb Chae!
Re: Re:
They really haven't lost money on you. Just not made any. It's not the same... If you weren't "pirating" would you have paid to see those movies?
I hope they let someone fresh do the writing

I am just scared for the animated Mickey version.

You go Mister Bean, even if you are a weird little twit.
