Truth be told, this looks like a test program to prepare the workforce.
The new standard of salary and bonus structures looks rather grim.

It's a hoax, sort of. It does fire popcorn but it's not voice activated so it cannot "aim". May just be a matter of time, though.

It turns out the Popinator, an automatic popcorn device that's taken the internet by storm, is a hoax.
"The Popinator is a fully automated voice activated popcorn launching machine that is triggered by the word pop," said an electronic engineer for Thinkmodo.
However that's not really true. It's all just a guerilla marketing campaign for a popcorn company.
The co-founders of Thinkmodo dreamed up the gadget which actually fires popcorn not by voice command, but remote control. Catching the kernels required repeated takes for the video.

There is a military version of it in development. It fires a gun in the direction of someone saying "Salaam!". It's called the Salaaminator.

#15 Actually..i was fooled a bit while reviewing too =) Thought its real..not made to be sold..just a toy made "just because we can" type. And to be honest..i would buy such a pointless thing that shoots something to me (like the beer can shooting fridge). But rather remote controlled then voice activated..would suck if you play a game and this thing starts shooting popcorn at my screen =P
