The Dymaxion car was designed by American inventor Bucky Fuller during the Great Depression and featured prominently at Chicago's 1933/1934 World's Fair.[1] Fuller built three experimental prototypes with naval architect Starling Burgess – using donated money as well as a family inheritance[2][3] – to explore not an automobile per se, but the 'ground-taxiing phase' of a vehicle that might one day be designed to fly, land and drive – an "Omni-Medium Transport". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_car

Baldur Bjarnason thinks Browser Based Ebook Reader-s are doomed, for similar reasons as Google Wave. If the product’s tentpole feature doesn’t directly help the user at the task they’re using the product for, then the product is likely to fail. In Google Wave’s case the tentpole feature was real-time synchronisation and messaging but the products pitched were chat apps and document collaboration. Neither of the major use cases of Google Wave directly benefited from its tentpole feature. (more)
