iPlug

It was called the iPlug. 100 Gigs and only half an inch long. All you had to do was unclip the two plugs and put them in your ears like headphones, but with out the wires, did I mention it was bluetooth too. The device also ran off the heat from your ears and was operated by voice command. It was a hit and sold millions during the 2010 Christmas season. The only problem with it was that people would pull pranks with the voice commands. Say there were 8 people listening to the iPlug on a bus then some kid getting off the bus would yell, "Power off!" and all the iPlugs would shutdown. It was unfortunate, but the second generation would have owner voice recognition and solve that problem.
The three inventors were all alumni from Cal Tech and stayed very close through their success. Katy, second from the left, married a man named Jezariah Canyon Shutz Munyer. He owned and operated a go-kart track called "Thunder Kart" in Santa Clara, just opposite Katy's office. The others weren't sure of Jez's true intentions for marrying Katy, but his sense of humor out weighed their fears. Bill is at the center of the picture and the oldest of trio. He bought a log cabin just outside of Vancouver and married his child hood friend, Gabriel, second from the right. They soon started a baking company together called "Sweetness." The last of three inventors was Andrew, he's on the far right and holding the second generation of the iPlug. Andrew was unable to find true love. Most of his money instead went up his nose and on call girls in the San Jose area. He figured that since most of the girls were going to college, he was actually supporting local education. His addiction got out of hand one day when he was arrested for trying to trade an iPlug for a handjob from a fifteen year-old girl. He bought a great lawyer and got off with only 100 hours of community service. This photo was taken after the hearing.
