@Rusty Van Horn: perfect

@EdgarJPublius: That is kind of an inevitability for any person or business in a #1 position. Staying #1 indefinitely is an impossibility. Things change.
@Tyrunn: I work in a college IT department and students' new computer purchases are between 10 and 20% Apple.
@icehawks11: Definitely in the running for ugliest car ever.
No Death Race 2000?
@Niteman cometh: Noomi is amazing. In some of those scenes where she's fighting someone, I get genuinely concerned for the opposite actor's well-being.
@Zendax: I can see only 1 (maybe sort of) practical application for a 4.8" 1080p screen... a portable theater simulator. If you held it at just a few inches from your face, you'd have a big screen feel and still be able to see (most) of the detail. But you'd need something that would look like those virtual reality…
If the efficiency trends follow the cars, they'll shrink the fuel tanks by at least 20% (carrying around that extra fuel is inefficient), so truck drivers will be stopping at least as often as before. If the number of trucks grows proportionally with the population, there will also be more trucks on the road. Truck…
@Zendax: Yes, 720p makes much more sense. Joe Q. Public needs to be aware of file sizes associated with video resolutions. On a 4.8" screen device, you're going to be using relatively expensive flash memory. A 1080p video will eat up twice the memory per minute of a 720p video while giving very little or no…
@Mārtiņš Ceplis: I like mine! So much nicer than the '73 which they tamed down some angles on and ruined the rear tail by smacking the license plate in the middle (the '71 and '72 have it off-centered to preserve the point). They all came with the 455, but only the GS had dual exhausts!
I'll wait for the FerrariJet.
@The Dead Kennedy: You get plus 1,000 Giz points for this.
Kevin Costner can take it down! Down with the Smokers!
@pres: Drinking problems are no laughing matter... unless they are in Airplane! The White Zone is for Loading and Unloading Only.
Put a tiny, efficient 3hp motor in there (several times more powerful than human legs) to power the flapping, and that is an amazing powered glider. The biggest inefficiency in powered gliders is the weight/drag of the non-working motor/prop when it is in glide mode. This would basically eliminate all of that.
@Maori_Yelir: Yeah, couldn't it be that Pioneer's centuries are actually shortening compared to ours? Doesn't time vary according to gravity?
@macshome: High tech shell game: That's what I love about F1. Everyone's trying to not only out-innovate each other, but also out-innovate the rules. Red Bull is passing all the flex tests, yet still manages to pull some flex out of the wings in race conditions. Those engineers deserve some kind of award.
Wouldn't it generate a lot more downforce if it were much closer to the ground? McLaren's F1 team whines about Red Bull's front wings that apparently bend down a half an inch or so under load because it gives them so much more of an advantage. Having a giant wing two feet in the air isn't going to do nearly as much as…
Don't we already have a modern F1 track in the USA in Indianapolis? Sure Mosley and Michelin ruined the last race there, but that can't really be blamed on the venue, can it?
@Maxichamp: I watched the race. Yeah, there was a radio malfunction, but the lollipop guy should have held the driver/car until he was clear. That's the guy that should be getting the blame for this.
