State of the art technology, elegant design, it just oozes Porsche. One of the few cars I have seen that seems like it is from the future.

Right of way is one issue. There are several other issues in play here. Looking at the Chinese example, they basically had to build a completely new rail line parallel to an existing line. The train cars and the track work costed a FORTUNE. Lastly, a ticket on the new line costs double of a regular speed train, thus…

Cue Jerry Seinfeld talking about the "Impreza" and the "Integra", made up words that are almost real words. I think consistency in naming is more important than other aspects. Chevy has gone through at least a half dozen names in selling people a compact or a sub compact car, but a Jeep Wrangler is a Jeep frickin…

The NHL killed itself with costly network time buys, switching games from ESPN to Versus (now NBCSN), and having two painful work stoppages. I just don't buy that warm weather cities haven't bought into hockey. Tampa, San Jose, Carolina, and a number of the other warm weather expansion cities have great fans. Having…

Jerry Seinfeld has a deep respect for the institution of stand up comedy, hence why you don't see much of him on TV or in movies, because he has a ton of money, and instead of doing 10 terrible tv projects, he only needs to do one (I'm looking at you marriage ref). He shows up at a club, does a set, kills, and sets an…

Some cars are laid out better than others. Access to buttons and switches is usually something you check out during a test drive. OEM's put big money into interior features, let the market decide what people prefer. I typically like the fewest number of buttons, and I love how Mazda makes the dash on a lot of their…

I read this entire article in the voice of Pat Goss from Motorweek... I think the overarching theme is that if that you anticipate owning a car for longer than say 5 years, you should keep up with the maintenance schedule. This means regular management of fluids, and then bigger things such as belts, pads, and other…

If you want to go further back, the team's history goes back to Stewart F1, operated by former WDC, Sir Jackie Stewart. The team even won a race with Johnny Herbert. Once Ford ran it as the Jaguar team, things took a rapid down turn. I always liked the Jag livery, particularly the Oceans Twelve livery with the…

Offer,acceptance,consideration... repeat over and over... blows a blood vessel. I don't miss being a 1L

Betrayal would assume that the car company wasn't just a for profit entity trying to take you for as much money as possible, by selling you a product that they have sold to you based on emotion, whether it is because of heritage, motorsport, popularity among the cool kids, or critical acclaim. I just see the…

The R8 has been a lot more competitive in GT3 racing worldwide over the past few years. It has the best winning percentage among all the makes, so if you want a competitive GT3 car, an R8 is the way to go. In terms of bang for the buck, it really has to do with what kind of experience you want. For $200-300,000 you…

Importance is not based on a spec sheet, it is the amount of attention the product gets from the press and the consumer public. The iPad and iPad Mini are tremendously important to the tablet market. The iPad has become synonymous with being THE tablet, and the Mini has brought more mainstream attention to the small…

Ford did go rallying in the 80's, with an RS200. If I remember right it ran a 1.8L turbo 4 cylinder, making about 450bhp. Group B was all about technology, the powerplant on those cars were about as stock as the one in a Group C prototype sportscar of the era.

Well done, Patrick. I moved from Florida to NYC in a 14' U-Haul during the summer of 2011, and your advice is dead on. I would add that anybody moving across country should look at state laws regarding weigh stations and the size of your truck. Southern states seem to be more serious about this than northern states,…

The funny thing is that Matt Hardigree just gave Indycar more press than it will get all year.

I agree, this is utter trollbait. The horror that Apple trademark a term such as Retina as it relates to computer screens, you know the term that they popularized, and is most associated with portable devices made by Apple. Retina is a mark associated with screens with a pixel density that reaches a certain…

The model for The Daily was destined to fail from the start. The premise was simple, a sophisticated magazine that changes the idea of a magazine FOREVER, by being locked to a single platform, having a pay wall, all for the benefit of getting exclusive content from a brand that has absolutely zero ink and dead tree…

The short answer is that it depends on your phone data plan. I am on an ATT 4gb shared data plan with an iPhone. The free tethering is a nice perk to the plan. Theoretically I can get a Mifi or a tablet with cellular, and attach it to my data plan for $10 or so a month, but the battery benefit is just not worth it. If…

So we get a timeline of outages, what about insight into why this is happening? I am really getting annoyed with bloggers patching forum threads, tweets, and other crowdsourced material in lieu of actual journalism.

I've had an Airport Extreme for 5 years, it has worked flawlessly, super easy to use, and is truly a product that Apple has perfected. My 5 works well with it.
