Negligible benefits? I’ll gladly debate that.

Plus another $15/month for service? No thanks. I’m cutting cords because I want to reduce my costs and bills, not add more.

There’s also a USB port you can use for external drives, which allows you to rewind or pause shows as you watch (as well as play other video files).

I have an older Ryobi cordless set and here's why I like that particular driver: there's a magnetic pad on the flat of the base.

2012 shipped with timing belts; 2013+ moved to timing chains. That's the one reason I really wish I'd put off my purchase for another year.

Let's pour a 40 out for the now-departed and sorely missed Aereo.

I liked it until I sat in one. I have certain expectations from a Buick and one of those is that you can fit people in it. The Regal disappointed me on that mark - those back seats aren't fit for anyone over 5'6" .

Indeed - some cars do a lot better than others. My wife and I bought a 2012 Subaru Outback. This model got a BIG refresh in 2010 that added some much-appreciated interior room and returned much better mileage than the previous incarnation.

I looked at the custom stuff and decided the good ones were too expensive and the cheap ones (DIY molds, etc) were too hit-or-miss, especially with how much a helmet's going to change your ear shape from where it was when you made the mold.

Speaking generally: if someone can easily tell that you're wearing earplugs then you're not wearing earplugs correctly. It really chaps my hide seeing people operating loud machinery with a bright yellow foam earplug dropped casually in their head hold.

For $78K you'd think they could toss a couple of turn signals on this thing somewhere.

The closer I get to 60,000 miles the more I wish that I'd waited until 2013. Timing chains are wonderful things.

Wholly agree. I happen to have a 2012 Outback with the CVT and am generally pretty impressed with the fuel economy.

Yawn. Wake me when they let me watch (at least) my local games in real-time. Until then: BFD.

Apparently popular and/or serious enough for a major safety organization to add it to its regimen.

And yet So. Much. Relevant. To. Someone. Looking. To. Buy. A. Car.

1) These older designs are still for sale - thus, datapoints on their crashworthiness are valuable. May not necessarily be front-page "stop the presses" news, but it's valuable data to anybody looking to purchase a car.

Since these aged designs are still available for sale new and are fairly popular, I'd say the crash test data is exceptionally helpful to someone looking to buy a new car. Doesn't really matter when it was designed - if it doesn't crash well I'm less likely to purchase it.

A photograph or two of the flame dome by itself or a before/after of the burner assembly might have helped this article. When you've got a sizable number of commenters all saying the same thing, the problem may not lie exclusively with the commentariat.

Ditto.
