Tragically, the employee who told CNNMoney that the leaker had been fired was immediately fired.

@crinklesmith: That's basically the point made in Alex Kozinski's (he of cow-porn fame) dissenting opinion:

In case anyone is feeling too happy right now and wants to be wracked by loss, sadness and tragedy for the rest of your afternoon:

Back in the Silicon Valley gold-rush days of the late 90's, a friend was shopping around for a new car and, somewhat on a whim, we found our way into a Chrysler dealership looking to test the 300m. They had a yellow Prowler on the showroom floor behind a velvet rope barrier, and were asking $160,000.

@MechGk: Lifetime appointments, nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Sorry, you'll have to wait for these guys to get old and pass on. Or be overturned by the Supreme Court, which will probably overturn this as soon as it gets the chance ([en.wikipedia.org] ).

@PlaidNinja: They're introducing the S95 - basically the same camera but with 720p HD video, for $400. The camera's otherwise basically the same: same lens, same features, etc., though the new one has updated image stabilization software.

A chain reaction creating an exponentially-increasing amount of antimatter? What could go wrong?

How can vapor weigh 2755lb.?

@◄DЯӘω αлd nø╥ Џ►: And you would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for their meddling.

@CrispyAardvark: On the one hand, I agree with you. On the other hand, I have the Lego Carousel, which is built to minifig scale and is 15" square (and over a foot high). Based on that, I'm guessing the Tower Bridge would fill my dining room.

Or for the same price (!!), you could fly in this from New York to London and back.

@lostarchitect: I'd say "This" if it were still allowed. I'm even OK with the MTA spending a bajillion dollars to install waiting time clocks or a Second Avenue line - something that would actually help. But flushing money down the toilet to make our lives worse for no reason?

@pmalik: Agreed. Cabbies would vastly prefer to keep their old crates running for 400,000 miles with off-the-shelf parts; I can't blame them for that. But trying to argue that it's better for the passengers is just a flat-out lie.

Must be b/c the old farts are the ones who can afford to take most cabs in this city. My friends and I all prefer hybrids, or more accurately, prefer anything other than a Crown Vic: the Crown Vics' suspensions are all shot, you get sick riding in the back of one, a lot of them smell terrible, the rear seat is…

For all the technology in the Clover, though, it ultimately comes down to the guy (or girl) handling it.

Oddly the Wii Sports Resort offer isn't showing up on Amazon - it adds to my cart at $49.99 as usual. Hm, anyone have any suggestions?

$119k for the "intro" model? Maybe $20k more than a (mint condition) Ferrari 360 Daytona? For the base model? Is that a typo?

Only $159k with a new leather interior? It would probably cost you that much to take a standard Turbo and add all of the leather bits. Bargain!

Funny how every commenter is appalled that the DeLorean made it in (me included; really, people? Over the DB4 Zagato, Ferrari Daytona, E39 M5?), while the unapproved commenters are saying stupid shit like " the ONLY car that I voted for on this list is the DeLorean. That's all I really cared about anyway".

To be fair, professional event planners - who one would assume to be a nonpartisan, or at least not-uniformly-anti-Obama - lot, had the same criticisms: she spent too much time at the party and not enough time managing it.
