My only regret is that I was too slow to link to Amazon to point out the irony.

Nifty toy...played with one the other day. If I only had the spare cash to buy one.

How Ironic. Was it any other company that sold a product of the same company that bought them out on day one, I would worry... but not Woot! Woot is awesome!
