Free whitepaper – Optimizing the data center for cost and efficiency
Vulture-eyed reader Georg Klein has trawled the Internet and found not only a description of Project Ginger but also where you can buy it from.
While everyone has been insisting that Dean Kamen's invention is some form of personal transport and a picture of this invention shows some 1950s style woman steering a carpet sweeper, the truth is far sexier and more interesting.
Project: Ginger is in fact an inanimate doll who looks suspiciously like porn star Ginger Lynn. But of course, as Dean is sure to demonstrate, she isn't inanimate if you drink a special potion (for some reason called an aphrodisiac in the accompanying notes). A secret video of the scientists working on Ginger has actually been released under main film label TriStar, so all the breathless hype wasn't necessary.
It was the happiest mistake they ever made, you see. As Kamen, Bezos and Jobs are only too aware "it started in science and ended in biology". Don't believe us? Click here. ®
