@CABEZAGRANDE: Are we really comparing an old Esprit that made 350hp to a 612hp car?

""Ditching Toyota power is clearly one of the upsides of the new, more complicated Lotus."

¥25,000 for the 3DS is inline with historical pricing in Japan, its merely that the yen has spiked in value since this recession.

@Jono: The S70 and S70/2 are totally different engines, Gordan Murray rejected the original S70 designs (S70B56, S70/1) because it was too heavy for the McLaren as it was originally designed for the 8-series. His original spec required the engine to be 250 kgs.

Much like the 'Busa engine has become some insane V-8s, here's hoping some entrepreneurial lunatic makes a V-12 out of these BMWs for the fun of it. It could be a mini-Mclaren F1 (a vehicle powered essentially by a bespoke solution using two BMW I6s S50B30 put together).

I've recently purchased an internal Blu-ray burner, primarily because BDR media has come down in price so much.

@emy1: For all that vitriol you really don't have your facts straight...

@Corsonmcnash: IDEO also designed their second mouse for Microsoft with 'right-click' back in 1987. They created the dove-bar mouse design that has become the archetype for all PC mice since.

For instance, corn is originally a wild grass called Balsas teosinte, with tiny kernels, man through the domestication of that plant has transformed it into the tall stalked yellow-kerneled plant we know today. In fact corn today in its mutated…

Wow...so that's like 20 million dollars.

Insane to think this will finally be released in just 6 weeks or so...

@junyo: They have these.

@Jesse Scroggins: it shoots video at 720p as confirmed by the DPreview hands-on that wasn't suppose to go up.

So this is like Xbox 360 controller "Elite". I guess its a good way for MS to make money.

@krypterband: The Mustang is "assembled" in America. Its not 100% percent American. Nowhere near that.

@krypterband: Nope,

@Mirageowner: US automotive manufacturing is alive and well, its just that its not the Big 3 that are making cars here.

@fryhole: I have the Maximum PC article in front of me here. Its a complete joke, it misses the point entirely.

The problem with Sony up till now has been their software support. This will be more central for a cloud-based service.
