Well, Google Earth already shows hi res images of most of the surface. Then they mapped the ocean, which you can see in rather stunning detail. Could Google Moon be next?

Today, they are upping the price, and in addition, the dealers are probably adding a "Market Value Adjustment".

Tomorrow, it's rebates and "$1 over invoice!" sales.

Seems to happen to most every new, trendy car these days.

You say that like you don't think dealers aren't going to tack on a "Market Value Adjustment" on top of the price increase.

This reminds me of one of those comedy sketches or hidden camera shows where the guy is waiting at the valet stand, the valet drives up and opens the door for the guy, who just has a look of disbelief on his face. The valet tries to sound convincing, and says "it was like that when you dropped it off...?"

Except this…

Acura ZDX? Good riddance. That and its Honda Accord Crosstour twin are cars that should never have made it past the scribble in the designer's sketchbook. Ugly, ugly, ugly. They are the cars that fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

...and in unrelated news, Tumblr sees 40 million new accounts created.

So each First Class seat gets 3 windows. Nice. For U.S. travel, you're lucky to get one. Hell, the seating configuration of U.S. Airways A321s means there's one or two rows that don't line up with the windoes at all, so you end up staring at taupe plastic where a window should be.

After reading 'World War Z', I thought that would make a better miniseries than movie. If it were to get picked up by HBO, Showtime, Netflix, etc., then they could maybe do a couple of 13-episode seasons.

Late to the party, and a little pedantic, but shouldn't it be 94 crystals? 47 on the left, 47 on the right? I was trying to figure out where the odd crystal went.

What you call "ridiculous weather-related traffic laws", I call, in most cases, "policing for profit".

*Very* well said. One thing that bears clarification, though, is that the Emperor actually wanted to surrender much earlier; it was the Ministry of War of Japan that tried to prevent him from doing so, up to and including attempting an unsuccessful coup d'état:

3.5 Liter Ecoboost V6 from the Explorer perhaps...?

Apparently they still aren't over the butthurt that came in the wake of Gizmodo scooping the iPhone 4 by buying the one left in a bar.

"Maybe just digging for something to complain about" is exactly right. This is Gizmodo, after all, and after "scooping" the iPhone 4 by buying the one left in a bar, they have not been invited back to any Apple events since.

This. I saw the movie, then read the book. The venue that immediately came to mind was a multi-part miniseries in a style I imagine as 'Interview with the Vampire' meets 'Band of Brothers'. Call it 20-24 episodes (2 seasons), a narrator tying it all together at the beginning and end of each vignette, and the…

Or at least a way to change the speed.

Something tells me there would've been a lot less running, a lot less impetus to "get out of here- like now!" to the movie if someone had to reassemble the T-1000 and wait two hours before the T-1000 was once again ready to resume the chase. It would've been a very different movie.

I agree. From the side, the front doesn't match the back. It's like they took the front half of one car and attached it to the back half of a different car.

Yeah, his post reads like a paid endorsement / shill / someone bucking for a job or promotion by parroting the company line.

Come on in... the toxic, carcinogenic dispersant-laced water is fine...!
