Funny—I just read Joel's post about internet comments on Animal this morning. Too bad Animal just doesn't have enough relevance for a Chicagoan.

Seconded.

I used to work as IT at a small company full of middle-aged nurses. I feel your pain.

Not on the Desktop though. I hit the IE button without thinking when I first went there and had a moment of bewilderment when the browser opened instead of the Start menu.

NP—you could only get a third of a V6 Mustang for that price.

I'm able to see Friends/Followers in my profile—though I had the same problem when Giz first switched over, so YMMV.

It's even simpler—just start typing from the Start screen and it does a universal search without a search box.

The F1 also had a 6.1L engine. This is Jalopnik 6.0. Coincidence? I think not!

I finally installed the Win8 DP, and got super lost at first. If you don't know that it's gone, the lack of a Start menu is going to freak you out.

Heart-clicked so hard for that.

No, the IMA system basically substitutes an electric motor for the flywheel. I've moved it on electric power alone a couple of times by accident (gas motor stalls, electric motor doesn't realize it), but it's only 14hp, and wouldn't be good for much more than crawling around.

I get the quirk-factor with the 3-door setup, but I'd much prefer a 4-door double-suicide style, a-la RX8.

This is a pet peeve I didn't remember I had until I traded my Volvo V70 (automatic) for my Civic Hybrid (5MT):

With the death of the Logan Square Kitchen, it's a lifesaver for the food trucks to be able to cook for themselves.

For what it's worth, Scion dealerships aren't able to apply dealer markups, so the FR-S' price, at least, should stay right around sticker.

You say the stars caused stratification—I say it caused gamification. It made commenting fun, and a challenge.

I don't know about that. I was given a whole new computer for free, while my pretty lady friend next to me was told she'd have to pay $700 for a new logic board. The waterworks didn't seem to make a difference, either.

Quad-cores seem to be burning through more energy at the moment, but theoretically I think they're a better idea. Personally, I'm fine with the dual ~800MHz in my iPhone 4S. Processor speed has diminishing returns all across the board, but they're especially minuscule in mobile, I think.
