Way back when I watched them in the theaters I enjoyed the prequels. Having rewatched the movies a few months ago I still thought they were good. Jar Jar and the Gungans didn’t bother me nearly as much as they did originally because the criticism has taken on such ridiculous proportions.

Credit cards are easy to acquire and Americans are far, far too comfortable with monthly subscription fees. Studies have shown that they’re near the worst in the developed world at saving money.

For over a year, maybe two, a GT-R has been sitting in my office garage, neglected and gathering dust. I’m pretty sure it’s still there, but at some point I stopped taking notice.

That’s only a problem for Americans. Europeans had no problems with diesels and were perfectly content with them clattering away like a Mack truck.

It’s always annoyed me that most faces on my Apple Watch 3 only allow a maximum of 3 complications and the level of customization is limited. Now Apple comes long with version 4 and they go to the other extreme with information overload.

DC and Warner Bros don’t have the management required to pull off a successful cinematic universe. Among other things, they lack the patience and vision. Actually, the Sequelisers podcast just had a good discussion on this very topic.

This looks like the typical mid-cycle refresh. I suppose it’s okay as far as these things go, but it’s not particularly compelling either. That Acura badge, however, looks like serious overcompensation.

I jump back and forth between Firefox and Chrome, but have mostly stuck with Firefox. I’ve been increasingly irked by Mozilla’s decision-making, but at least performance has improved. Chrome continues to be a resource hog and Google brings its own issues to the table. However, I keep it around because compatibility is…

Rewatch the video. It looks to me like those were all amateurs sharing the track with the Miata. The GT-R blows past him on a straight, but this guy actually starts catching up through the bends. It’s just that the course straightens out enough that the GT-R is able to maintain its lead. On a tighter course or against…

Vipers were never really praised for their interiors. That said, materials and designs have progressed so much in the decades since that most old cars end up looking crappy. The 90s were particularly bad with their overuse of ovoid shapes.

Why does every one of these dipshits claim to be “self-made”? They’re successful for one of two reasons; they had the right connections or access to money. If anything, they’re the antithesis of self-made.

Although I’ve long since gotten used to the notch on my iPhone, I still feel like it’s a less than optimal solution. That said, if a phone is going to have one then it’s important to get the scale, curved edges and overall sizing right.

Is it me or does this look like the SUV version of the Carbon Motors concept?

Introducing gamification to fitness tracking is not particularly novel at this point. The heart points thing is an interesting concept, I suppose, but it seems more like a repackaging of the same old concepts.

In some states, like California, retailers are not allowed to run misleading pricing and there are time restrictions on sales. A couple of years ago Kohl’s was sued by LA’s attorney general over this. I thought there were time limits on sales in my state, but either I’m mistaken about that Kohl’s is flouting the law. D…

Why do young Americans get a kick out of being inconsiderate assholes? They almost act like it’s a right. It’s doubly obnoxious when they pretend they’re sticking it to the man like they’re some oppressed underclass.

Please no. I hated transparent gadgets, even in their heyday.

No they didn’t. Translucent gadgets predated those iMacs by years. I remember translucent beepers being all the rage in the 90s. In fact, one of the reasons the clear iMac was disparaged was specifically because of its association with cheap gadgets.

And people wonder why college tuition is so out of control.

It’s $40,000 for a Bolt running relatively new technology. 20 years ago we had the EV1 which didn’t even come close to the capabilities of this car and was only available as a lease. In another 20 years most, if not all, cars might be electric, and that will $15,000 econoboxes.
