the battery life and the frame rates on my 2G touch are going to loads of fun!

@underwear-ninja: Lancia makes quirky Italian cars that are a odd and not sold in many countries. It wouldnt fit the new Lancia. Also, Fiat owns just about every Italian brand now, and they wouldnt want Lancia and Alfa Romeo competing for the cheap Italian performance category.

@gochomoe: A Lancia Stratos has to be a rally car because it is a rally car. This will be cool yes, but not a Stratos. If the next MX5 was an all wheel drive 4 seater, it would be nice, but not an MX5. If the next Mustang was an SUV, maybe it would be a good car, but it would not be a Mustang. A cool car is a cool…

@underwear-ninja: exactly my thoughts. Its cool, and the more people who know what a Stratos is the better, but this is not what a Stratos is.

@gochomoe: Chill and be less insulting. My concern is that a Stratos is a rally car first, not a track car first. Will it be cool? Yes, of course. But it isnt what a Stratos is meant to be. Imagine the opposite, if someone wanted to make a modern Ferrari 250 and they used the chassis from a Citroën C4 (which won the…

My worry is that this is being developed all wrong. The Stratos was a supercar RALLY CAR, not a normal supercar.

@noisy doll: The slow internet is just the nature of it, but I usually dont use it. I have never had a bus with no power though. I was once on one of the older ones, and they had to restart the power system to get it working, but every single one of their buses is supposed to have outlets.

Im calling BS. The entire plane is powered off the engines. They could afford it. The reason they wont is probably the cost of refitting all of the planes. The maintenance cant be that much. I know it is smaller, but Bolt Buses have an outlet for every seat. And that is a budget coach company. If they can afford the…

I want VII through IX personally

@Fireflash: no, please no more, no more, no more......

@HalOfBorg: the problem is that there is nothing out there. I miss having the occasional "planet of the week episode" myself. But the biggest problem in my mind is that there is no "baddy." No Apophis, Anubis, Wraith, or Replicators (though if they ever have to bring back an old enemy, please no more replicators!!…

@kbbbkk: yup. I bought mine a few months ago, for 999 on sale. The closest dell for that price is the base XPS 16. It has the same GPU, HDD, and memory, but it has an i5-540m. Mine is an i7-720qm. Big difference between the two. Dell has had 6 months to improve the specs, and mine still beats it.

nope. Its not going to succeed. Even Apple doesnt start the iPad at that much money. HP most likely was thinking, hmm, to charge more money lets make it a full OS! But with a slate like this, with these specs, that will be a disaster. The iPad works with its specs because it is NOT a full OS.

I still prefer my asus with i7 and a 5730. Dell just cant beat the price asus sells computers at.

Well, thats because the guy in the tesla is an idiot. Who would buy that over a lotus? I mean, its not like real Lotuses (not that new stuff at the autoshow) get bad mileage!

@zyodei: They are, and everyone loves them. Especially the gas stations. Ford GT when pushed gets close to the gallons per mile range if I remember correctly.

@junior ghoul: I know its unlikely, but I still dont like google. Something about them I find unsettling. Unless an assignment requires the use of google docs, I am sticking with using open office and saving to my hard drive and flash drive.

@Nürburgring: Varsity Jalop: well, just about any old car isnt reliable, and forget it being a Lancia... Its ITALIAN.

@junior ghoul: to make it worse, my school just gave us special google accounts so we can work on group assignments at our own homes and the teacher can look at what we are doing. Im waiting for the day when an assignment needs an extension because google docs went down for a few hours.

Well, could be worse, I at first thought they were talking about a totaled classic one!
