@noiob As much as people are joking about Juicero, it seems like a great product idea for disabled people; most things that are mild successes in the "as seen on TV" market are things designed for disabled people, rebranded to be mass market / profitable. Juicero would never have gotten VC making a product for arthritis, or poor vision, or shaky hands, who don't live in cities where you can get fresh cold press delivery.

@noiob At the end of the day the sad joke is the state of capitalism where an inventor has the pressure to raise VC and make a huge splash when they could've been a mild success selling a cheaper version on late night TV or making deals with nursing homes.

@noiob Take for example the "snuggie" which gets made fun of as being something for lazy people who just sit around watching TV – it was designed for people in wheelchairs.

@noiob Do you really have to wait until 2117? I believe the DMCA in the US prohibits circumventing DRM already. I don't believe it's anywhere required that said DRM actually be effective.
