There’s a principle in human psychology that promising something and then taking it away is a bigger disappointment than not knowing about it in the first place. Vapourware is the epitome of this for us.
The apparently incombustible Meizu CEO, Jack Wong, has just announced that they are going to add Live Messenger to their M8 mobile phone, the rather pathetic and sad motherboard that wants to be an iPhone clone when it grows up (if it ever gets released). In other words: new vapourware announced for vapourware. The usual cynics are probably asking themselves “why should I care about this crap?” Which is exactly what we are asking ourselves right now.

For this week’s retromodo installation, we’re looking at the Death Ray Machine, (awesome name). Apparently, the device was put together by a Cleveland scientist, and its abilities were only showcased in a one time display to members of the National Inventors’ Congress at Omaha, Nebraska. The Death Ray Machine was witnessed to instantly kill dogs, cats and rabbits once its beam shone on them.
