Locking up the competition
The Kryptonite folks are understandably sensitive to crazy internet rumors and sensationalism. Now the company is not too happy with a British television documentary that showed its New York chain getting cut with a 42-inch bolt cutter. The problem was that iTV chose to have one of Kryptonite's competitors do the cutting--without cutting their own lock, too.
42-inches will cut anything you can get into its jaws. Thing is, when you carry that sort of bolt cutter down the street, it tends to draw a lot of attention.
One of the more interesting things Krypto is doing these days is making their keys much larger and battery-powered. Eventually, they'll introduce a remote key that can unlock your bike's doors from a block away, and taze anyone within 10 meters!
