Although each team runs the same tires, IMO the 'degradation by design' Pirelli tires have become a far too influential factor in race strategy, racecar performance and in the outcome of each race. Give the teams the best designed tires for grip and longevity possible. Formula 1 is about the best race cars, the best…

Good stuff! Storms constantly circulating the planet spitting-out seemingly random bolts of death and destruction kind of puts things in perspective. I have the utmost respect for lightning.

The time machine computes and adjusts for all that space-time continuum stuff automagically. I read it in the users manual.

My only experience with Windows 8 is on a Microsoft Surface Pro. In an attempt to learn Windows 8 I’m resisting the temptation to install Classic Shell or StarDock’s Start 8 to make the new OS more like Windows 7 (which I like immensely). IMO Windows 8 should have been a little more evolutionary and a little less…

Chinese manufacturing "secrets?" R & D costs virtually eliminated via industrial espionage....cyber spying, massive comparatively low-paid labor force (child labor?), extensive government support of quasi-private enterprise, government currency manipulation, etc. The mindsets of patience, austerity, determination…

Very cool....beautiful images!

Good stuff! Let's see Tony Stark (aka: Iron Man) catch that. Can't wait until the technology is refined and applied to a wheeled vehicle....it'll be a game-changer for drag racing. In all seriousness (and it's a difficult task under the obama regime), the USA must continue to push the technological envelope. In…

Whether the result of Aston Martin bean-counters or the arrogant, dictatorial, ‘green’ government bureaucratic trolls the loss of the V12 Vantage power plant is a sad day for car enthusiasts everywhere.

I’m not a shareholder or an inmate in the apple user asylum but good on apple for utilizing every means legally possible to minimize the government theft of their property. I acknowledge government needs money to function and provide valid services but it seems no matter how much money our government wastes,…

Another needlessly complicated, overly artistic timepiece....it’s little more than an ego-stroking conversation piece. I can appreciate its novelty and workmanship but I'll stick with a more traditional, always classic Rolex or Patek Philippe (with the quaint little, moving hands). I respect the opinions of others…

Damn global warming! Knowing the increased value of the earth's 'Gore' temperature may be an inconvenient truth but I see it as one more arrow in the quiver of the climate change activists to further disrupt the world economy (based on a phenomenon that’s not fully understood). I’m confident bloated Al will figure a…

Michael Schumacher driving an F1 car on the Nürburgring Nordschleife....that could be seriously amazing! Both Schumacher and The Ring may be showing signs of age but without question both are legends....and both remain formidable. I hope the event is more than a short-shifting PR event. I also hope the event gets the…

Evidently, Hublot felt the need to make a timepiece as needlessly overcomplicated as the LaFerrari’s hybrid power plant. I can appreciate the technology that went into both but I want neither! The LaFerrari supercar is awesome, however, I’d much rather have a naturally aspirated Ferrari engine instead of the…

The iBeetle.....what a joke! I'm both a tech enthusiast and a car enthusiast. Although my oldest son talked me into buying an iphone I'm decidedly anti-apple. I dislike apple for marketing the ‘hip’ image as much or more than the product itself. From the rah-rah, applauding employee-cheerleaders lining the apple…

Providing an option to bring-back the start button (along with certain Windows 7 like operability) to Windows 8 is a smart move by Microsoft. Providing an option to make Windows 8 less alienating to the massive Windows user base….smoothing the transition to Windows 8 (and beyond) seems like a natural. I recently…

"Terror won this round." The message to terrorists....their ONLY mistake was not leaving town on day 1 and leaving the country on day 2. You also say "...Stupid end game too: they had to release the lockdown once they failed to find him, thus showing that it wasn't needed in the first place!" Are you serious? I…

I don’t think a photographer has to search for the worst image of Bernie to use. There are no “worst” images of the man. His natural good looks and likable personality oozes-through in every photo of the man. Bernie is a creeping looking (ugly) little troll but as always, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Looks…

Why's that? A photograph or video, however damning, is but one piece of a puzzle. An entire tapestry of 'evidence,' motive, means, intent, etc. must be woven together to establish guilt or innocence by a jury. Evidence must withstand inevitable challenges by the defense counsel and often ridiculously liberal court…

I respect your opinion but I wouldn’t use google in an attempt to deflect criticism from apple. The obvious fallacy aside, that’s like saying Tojo is nicer than Adolf Hitler. apple and google are the axis of evil in the digital age.

I grew up loving the Bond franchise. Through the evolution of Bond’s and the occasional less than riveting production I kept the faith. James Bond 007 had a formula that just worked. While Sean Connery will forever be ‘the’ James Bond, Daniel Craig does an excellent job taking Bond into the new lower-tech,…
