When I first skimmed over this, I thought it said that the horses were going to be able to act as police officers. That would have been so much more awesome.

Last I heard, VW was working on a modernized version of the Type 2. Of course, car companies are always working on concept cars that never get released, but this at least had a rough release date: 2013.

Good thing we didn't give him any attention.

Wait, Casey Chan is a dude?!

Forget about all that. I'm glad this is happening, because it means there's incentive for companies to take a crack at this. Frankly, I'm interested to see what the free market will do with this one.

You just found the unifying plot point of a sitcom that won't be written for years. Ten points for you.

(edit) Whoops, wrong comment. Sorry.

It may not seem like a big deal since it's in Toronto, but remember...

Why do I get the feeling that after writing this, you turned around, grabbed a bottle of whiskey, and passed out on the floor?

Why not just have two gloves with retroreflective arrows on them? Put out left hand and it shows a let arrow, put out right hand and it shows a right arrow. It'd cost a tenth the price of anything with an accelerometer and lights would cost.

Especially "Workshop, Nottinghamshire".

Just get a hooker like a normal person

I'm not certain. I think they said they aren't going to ask if you accept, it's assumed you do if you say nothing, you have to call them up and clearly say the words "I do not accept the new terms of our contract" and then legally they have to let you out. Of course, they'll try their hardest to keep you from thinking…

One of the blogs did a piece a while back (maybe Gizmodo, I really don't remember) that listed all sorts of obscure ways to get out of your cellphone contract. A change in the terms was one. Does this qualify? If so, October may be the time to bail on AT&T, as long as Verizon has some nice offers for the next iPhone.

Of course not, Tobias is Queen Mary

NO! It's like Beetlejuice, if you say the name three times it appears. SHH!

I figure everyone must have thought that. If nothing else, I hope that whenever someone reads a comment I post, they hear the jingle in their head: "...Miiister F..."

This is going to make Black Friday a lot more interesting

Exactly. He uses the money it makes to do evil things to compensate. Think of it as kind of a carbon-offsetting program, but with dead puppies.

My thinking is that if Apple puts out a computer under the MacBook Pro name, it'll have specs on par with or better than ones before it. I'm assuming here that that is the case. If it's not, then that's a different story
