If they weren't trying to make an eco supercar, why bother making it a hybrid? Koenigsegg just proved that advanced-geometry turbos do a great job of filling out the torque curve; why would Ferrari want to waste space and weight on batteries?

Holy bandwith cap, Batman! Seriously, though, I hit my download cap just torrenting old movies; how am I supposed to download everything?? Not to mention the fact that my Xbox's wifi chip is busted and my apartment isn't wired for ethernet. What if that happened in a digital-only world?
That makes sense. Only a long-standing rivalry would make any newspaper dig through that much footage and jump on this. It's un-aired footage; at that point, who cares?
Screw George Lucas and his stupid "I didn't have the technology to do everything I wanted to" re-releases. You're absolutely right; I, too, hope that they leave out CGI Jabba. The physical Jabba from ROTJ was perfect, as opposed to the shitty animated Jabba from the re-release of a New Hope. Having a live actor as an…
Having a hive mind labor force is either the best or the worst idea I've ever heard. The good part about it is that you only have to keep the queen under submission and all of the labor is submissive. There are no factions to start riots, and they won't start murdering each other because one group offended another.
Since Disney already told the extended universe to bug off to make room for the movies, I would think that people would have come to expect that this was the truth. I, for one, never believed that he survived. One little blaster against a thousand-tentacled creature who digests things to death? Not happening.
Well, Cap's handler/wannabe girlfriend/'don't know what her actual purpose in the movie was' was a brit... so not totally 'Murican, either.
Without that NatGeo article, she probably would still be performing for those bizarre murals. There's something not right about washed-up actors; they get that crazy look in their eyes, and they'll perform for anybody who comes within 200 ft. It's almost sad...
Give it time. A few decades from now, it might be more feasible. While currently, 3D printing is expensive and impractical, with all of the development money being thrown at entrepreneurs by bigwigs who grew up with the Jetsons, we'll start to see the price coming down. Whole cars, maybe not, but I wouldn't be…
It is just for the One:1, but it's still a car, so I don't understand what the title means. What's even worse is the fact that the article says, "The majority of the components Solid Concepts 3D Printed were used as master patterns for casting," which means that they weren't "directly" in the car at all. It says that…
They will back up their product, just not if you break the rules they've set forward. Yes, it seems like a dick move to us Jalops, but I'll bet that only a teeny fraction of the people who buy the 'Stang will ever take it to a track. They look at this clause and go, "who would take this to a track? It'd mess up my…
Technically, after one lap, wouldn't you be aiming for whatever time you set? You couldn't do more than one lap without voiding the warranty! Load of nonsense if you ask me.
What's the point of taking it to a track if you can't race it? The way I read it, you could lap your car exactly once (all alone, mind you) before you voided the warranty; after that, you'd be aiming for a set time, something prohibited in the paragraph you quoted. After one lap, your car would be reduced to a pretty,…
But what, exactly, is racing? Brian Cotter, global Mustang communications coordinator, wrote via email, "If you are using this feature in an actual race (ex. at a drag strip vs. your neighbor's Camaro) this would create a problem from a warranty standpoint." Cotter further explained, "[T]here is nothing wrong with…
Um... Let's see... Have you heard anything good about Valve's VR headset? That'll have to be PC. Hopefully it's not Steam OS exclusive....
How about, "This game+Project Morpheus?" You're not funding F*ckerberg's army of FB minions, and you still get a quality VR headset to enjoy your creepy-as-hell videogame.
That's my biggest problem with the Assassins Creed games. Duck into some bushes for ten seconds and the guards are suddenly overcome with amnesia. They could at least make it a little more challenging.
As it turns out, I'm a lot better at juggling than I first thought!
There are a few aftermarket tuners that take a can-opener to the standard Challenger, so you may have seen one or two on the interwebs. Richard Petty was given one a couple years back; I think Jalopnik reported on that. Personally, I don't think they look that great without the top. Without the iconic roofline, it…
Slight correction: It was an internet miniseries; one of the first, in fact.
