I don't think this will catch on. You have to get all the textbook publishers on board before its worth it. schools like using specific textbooks don't like change. and it would take a private school or a private college to require the purchase of a ipad for academics.

There's nothing like quite like the feeling of whale penis leather on your backside. #2

My first thought exactly.

These are all just the minimum specs, you can be sure they will be much beefier than this. its what the "bare minimum Windows 8 tablet would look like" (from the source link)

My G-shock is the perfect watch for me. All my previous watches have broken, so I got one that I couldn't break if i tried.

I still have my unlimited plan on my Droid x. I still have about 10 months till an upgrade, so im using the hell out of it.

My sighting of a GT coincided with sighting of a Lamborghini Gallardo spyder. I Heard the GT before i saw it. and oh yea, it was painted Gulf racing colors.

torque is my favorite. my Volvo S40 only had about 160 horses but makes 180 ft-lb torque. Makes it feel faster than it actually is, and I'm ok with that.

I have that MD one on my car!

top gear Toyota Hilux anyone? ?

I do have to say, being in DC during the earthquake, the shaking really was that long and hard. and being up 500+ feet in a spire will only magnify the shaking.

Why? because HORSEPOWER!

there are weights in the tires to make them go uphill like that. They were balanced so the slightest hit would send them rolling up the hill.

assuming that there are 5 pictures shown per second , for 4:53, and pictures were taken every 90 seconds, that's more than 36 solid hours of driving.

two words - Jay Leno.

the Camaro Iroc Z. What an awesome car. at the time, it was called a world beater, and it still is pretty quick. I have a friend who has one, perfect condition, with less than 10,000 miles on the clock. it still can leave rubber on the road at the slightest whim.

this is troubling. If a 5.9 earthquake can do that, think of what a 7 or more would do. Here in DC, the shaking didn't even feel that violent, but I guess it was.

the Mazda 3/ mazdaspeed 3. all the guys that i know that want to have fun with their cars, have Mazda 3s. and they are, in fact, pretty amazing little cars. its like the GTI except for with a smile!

all running off that laptop?

mazda MX5 miata. I dont exactly know if it qualifies as a slow car, but with a 0-60 time in the 8-9 second range, (at least in the 1991 model i had) it is pretty slow. great well balanced awesome handling car.
