I still think the Continental is a nicer-looking car. But that’s not taking anything from the Century, which is lovely. I’m surprised that Toyota still employs designers capable of styling something so reserved.

Considering that thing is a 3D model you’d think the artist would have done something more creative than stick some bad graffiti at the base of the statue. The guy approached it like he had real world physical constraints.

They look decent to me. The designs aren’t particularly noteworthy, but they’re no worse than either the iPhone 8 or X.

People are inconsiderate assholes and when the authorities get involved they react like they’re fighting oppression against the man.

If nothing else, I’m happy to finally see an American company designing a truck that doesn’t feature antiquated styling.

I disagree. A lot of guys can spot an Integra Type R from a mile away, even as sedate as the car looks today. Years ago a friend was considering buying one and changed his mind because of the attention he got during the test drive.

There already is a ton of telemetry inside planes. In fact, people were able to track MH370 on FlightAware. The problem is that something happened on that flight which the transponder to be turned off at the same time the crew stopped communicating with ATC.

Like all new forms of travel, it starts out as something for the super rich, but eventually becomes affordable to the masses. At least, I hope that will be the case here.

No, it’s not easier. You’re making the mistake of grossly oversimplifying technology and the effort required to make things.

C for effort, F for execution.

The feature is annoying as hell because when I turn off Wi-Fi I want it to stay off. I don’t want the phone getting on Wi-Fi when I arrive at work and I don’t want it wasting the battery constantly looking for available networks.

Ehhh.... I think the new 8-series looks quite nice.

The problem is that some would argue that more extensive inspections would place an unfair burden on the poor. I’d argue that good driving habits and safety should be paramount. However, it is true that the United States doesn’t have the extensive and reliable public transport systems of countries like Germany or…

That’s not unique to Alaska; I’ve seen garbage work like that in Connecticut.

I had wireless charging on two generations of Windows Phones (going back to late 2012) and it was really convenient. However, since switching to the iPhone 7 I haven’t missed it at all. It’s a nice feature, and I imagine that some day all electronics will charge wirelessly, but it’s not really essential.

The sad fact is that if the Stinger had a hatchback, sat 4" taller and were clad in tacky bodywork consumers would put up with all kinds of crap to get one. The niche for a sporty sedan is full, but it seems like there can never be enough SUVs and crossovers. The average consumer doesn’t seem particularly troubled by…

Star Trek Discovery reminded me more of the movies than any of the prior tv series, which I don’t think is a good thing. It was too amped up and lacking nuance and substance. Not that I expect the show to hit all the right marks on day one; Star Trek has always tended to have a weak first season. However, in the very…

A lot of in-car systems still feature somewhat antiquated skeuomorphic designs, but Tesla really takes it to the other extreme. Tesla’s design is muted and featureless to the point that it’s hard to identify any details at a glance. It isn’t just the lack of colors and contrast; it’s that the whole interface seems…

I don’t give a shit about yet another bloated, generic SUV. What I want to know is if we’re ever getting the V40 in the states. A few months ago I saw these in Asia and they look fantastic.

I didn’t like that FitBit when it was first introduced, but seeing it here I think it looks quite nice. That said, there’s an awful lot of watch face for such a small display.
