Red leather always makes me want to vomit. Mercedes has such a nice brown (perforated) leather in the CLA and A-Class, which looks a lot classier and luxurious.

Wait, of the ten worst public transit systems IN THE WORLD, 7 are in the states? And the ninth worst transit system is actually really good and working well but could simply use a subway line? The seventh worst one has just to few subway lines and trains?

I'm always wondering why "habitable planet with possible life form" always means "planet with a surface similar to the earth, so humans could live there". Humans also can't live in deep sea, volcanoes, next to geysers or in "toxic" surroundings, but different animals and bacteria can. Why must we always assume that…

Then move to Germany. Great health-care, great and free education, free universities.

They had the weirdest gig I've ever seen on the Hurricane Festival 2012. In some songs, they were only making weird noises and were shouting and screaming nonsensical. I don't think I've ever seen something like this before :D

As the generation that fought World War II passes on, it can be difficult for younger people to remember that it was a war fought not by the elderly in black and white, but by millions of Americans in vivid color. These gorgeous images, via Shorpy, remind us just how vivid that war was.

Original.

They have a proven track record, but the processors have been designed by Apple for ages. They just shift the manufacturing part from Samsung to TSMC. That's why Apple's chips are called Ax, they design their chips based on an ARM layout at least since the iPhone 4 in-house.

I usually struggle in these discussions, too. I'll just give you a link and repost something I've already written on Gawker: http://jalopnik.com/5970231/?post=…

this one?

WTF does this have to do with Airbus or Boeing? When this machine gets a faulty, bad or simply old engine from it's owner (Thomas Cook in this case) it's the bad build of the GE/RR/Pratt&Whitney/Honeywell/MTU engine if at all. More likely this has been a case of bad maintenance. If it's a cheap (charter) airline which…

Settings makes me cry. The most beautiful in any (i)OS, now horrified in a grey mess.

I was with you trying to convince Jesus calm and nice that he has indeed made a mistake. Got my star stolen and a one-week-ban. Good old Gizmodo times.

Are there wallpaper sized versions anywhere? 970 x 546 pixels doesn't really cut it on a Retina display.

I'm genuinely afraid of the Mercedes CLA 45 AMG. 360 HP in a Golf size class car is insane. 450 NM batshit insane. But the idea of getting this quite nice power from A 2 LITER 4 CYLINDER TURBO just makes me shudder and panic as if it was an atomic bomb.

How could they take these ugly, retro, small and not wide tires. I've seen X5's standard equipped with 285 and fatter tires on 20 inch sporty, elegant rims. That looked real nice, but this looks outdated and as if they have cut money on the wrong (and really important) part.

"In Northern European countries driving is taken more seriously because that's the culture, it has nothing to do with the government."

It's not about ignoring a classic's beauty like an 911, Mustang, 8C, Stingray or an old Ferrari. Of course the Gallardo is a classic and beauty, but just because it looks good doesn't mean they can keep the same design forever. The Gallardo looks dated; what means it on the one hand is a classic beauty but on the…

Wow. I didn't realize how power-spoiled you Americans really are until I read this post. A 240HP SUV is called underpowered and insanely slow. A 140 HP Volkswagen Van is measy. A 170HP wagon too.
