A loaner Surface RT. Yeah, they probably have a few to loan.

Why does haggling still exist? We aren't trading for livestock in the middle ages, or for fake beards. People just like lying to each other. All the math and research I'm sure car manufacturers do to set a price but in the end it comes down to bullshit slinging at a dealer.

Yes, there will be an adapter.

Well it would need some kind of consumable chemical to make the smells. so putting a little canister in the controller all the time would kind of suck.

It wasn't meant to be an accurate statement, it was half jokingly. I don't know the fuel efficiency of this particular car, but many hybrids aren't any better than the eco-diesels europe has had forever. Plus people go and stomp on the accelerator with their hybrids and generally do nothing to help their fuel economy.…

So everyone pays tax money so people can get rebates on electric cars that cost way more then the gas savings they might provide. But as long as you LOOK green it is ok, you don't actually have to be green. This especially true with BMW owners.

Skydrive is a folder system. A drive in the cloud, not an automatic DVR that provides you with your last 30 mins of gameplay at any time. This is for "oh that was really cool what I just did, lets go back and watch it again" not for lets plays who already know they want their gameplay recorded. FRAPS is useless if…

Well their tag phrase (along with so many other companies these days) Is cloud-based. IIRC that includes the DVR. So no... that actually has nothing to do with your ISP.

Exactly, people just like to complain. Probably 80% of the people complaining about the 24-hour check in were going to have their console always connected anyway.

But won't this ruin the shiny minimal design you payed so much extra for? Seriously that would make my OCD go nuts.

Now everyone start asking for reverse compatibility, and not paying $100 for the kinect that will have no use in most genres, specifically the genre which Xbox has been best at (it's 2 biggest exclusives)

Insert bad cooking joke here

Fair enough, I hadn't actually read the source article. For the twitter spewing teenage girl, no it does not matter. iOS vs Android doesn't really matter for any non tech person. The transition however could be more difficult (particularly iOS to Android), unless you are already familiar with both.

The article should say "which android phone" because the difference between platforms certainly matters. Personally I thinks Samsung makes the absolute ugliest of the high end phones (both in device and software) so that rules them out. Motorola can't do cameras worth a damn so for me that rules them out. I am…

Well at the very least the stupid ribbons and streamers are offensive.

A cellphone per person is the norm, but having less of them on your plan would be cheaper. Still not seeing the part that isn't obvious. For the record, I live in a place where there is no public transit and walking/biking isn't really an option.

Things that require insurance, inspection, and routine maintenance cost money???? Thank you, I never would have known.

When the big engine someone sticks in the "car" is from a bike: That's embarrassing.

Yeah AWD isn't necessarily needed for snow, compared to FWD. RWD on the other hand is not normally as good. But that's with a normal car, no idea how this applies to the Tesla.

I'm glad 10 seconds of video is needed but 1:58 is uploaded... classic YouTube.
