Skip Lines and Meddling Salespeople With This Luxury Vending Machine
You can get just about anything out of a vending machine these days. There's iPods, selections of DVDs, and even hot dogs (ick).

Are Coin-Operated Sock Machines a Little Much?
It may look absurd at first glance, but I think a coin-operated sock machine is a fantastic idea. Instead of tempting kiddies with sugary sweets, tramp stamps, or those obnoxious bouncy balls, this machine spits out some peace of mind. Communal play areas are raging germ zones and the sooner we can turn our little peeps into paranoid germaphobes, the better.

I cannot tell you how many papers were finished with a diet coke in one hand and a bag of chips in the other.

The vending machine movement was started of course with the iPod vending machines and has clearly evolved into other electronics.
According to the Inquirer, the flash drive vending machine will give out Kingston Memory's SD cards, CompactFlash cards and DataTraveler USB drives and other bits and bobs to travelers wandering through airports.
