i have one word that, a few years ago, could have set nokia up for salvation, but is probably too late now. it starts with "an" and ends with a trademark that verizon, HTC and motorola are so famously licensing from lucasarts.

two garbage screens defeat the purpose of android. i'll stick with my one really good screen on my evo.

best wishes to kubica recovering soon, but i'd be interested in seeing senna's nephew drive this season.

apparently, she got a 3-series BMW with a manual transmission, and can't drive it so she has other people drive her around in it.

i laughed the first time i saw a pajero, it was in jamaica. a lot of my cousins live in argentina and i'm aware of the slang use of "paja" and i was like "no way anyone would want a car with that name!"

@kake81: before mulally whipped ford into shape, i'm pretty sure that ford of america wanted to paint the whole town red, white and bold, with no regard to what ford divisions in other markets had planned. so, ford of america sold their "american-look" focus with underpinnings from the old model, while ford of europe…

@kake81: ford was afraid of having a european car blur their brand image in the US. the pig-in-lipstick was considered more american.

alternate craigslist ad: "up for sale is the ultimate driving machine. the actual ultimate driving machine, not the marketing ploy. $25k OBO takes it home."

because i have a mac, and a certain team of money-grubbing executives all led by one charismatic, if monopolistic, leader hates flash, this video keeps choking on my computer. can someone give me a text list of what heckendorn did in this video so i can make one of these bad boys? i, too, have an evo and want an…

ethernet and RF, eh? is samsung gonna break into the google tv market with this?

@needmorecoffee: it's not a GPS problem at all. every GPS system i've ever used makes you agree to own up to your own stupid decisions if the GPS leads you astray, because computers are obviously not perfect navigators. this is, instead, a problem of people relying on their GPS systems too literally. i've driven…

@badbob001: if what they claim is even remotely true, their probable-hoax of a reactor outputs copper, which has skyrocketed in value lately. so it would, in theory, pay for its own operation in terms of materials.

@bombastinator: i believe i said "uses newfangled bullcrap." i'm young, impatient and out of shape and i'd still rather have a pedal bike than any electric bike. especially one that looks toolish and is intended specifically for anti-theft.

@tasteskindasalty: but this happened in argentina. not the united states of litigation.

$2500 for an ugly bike that uses newfangled bullcrap? that's the cost of what, 8 trek mountain bikes? that means i can afford to get my trek 820 that was stolen from me last year replaced another 7 times before this stupid bike would be worth it.

it's a turbodiesel wagon, on hydraulic suspension, with 45 thousand less miles than my (much newer) car. and it's roomy as hell. and it has a real gearbox instead of that damned CVT i got stuck with.

what would be nice would be if google and sprint could trade numbers with each other. i want to have my sprint number ported to every internet-connected device i own, but the cost of service on my phone for the next several months is still cheaper than a termination fee.

at least the grumman design is damn-near impossible to hijack. loading it would be a major pain in the ass though.

@Awjvail: yes, but if it's costing them however many thousands of dollars per damaged machine now, plus it must have cost a few thousand per to set them up in the first place, running phone lines wouldn't have been any more expensive than that.

i don't get it. if the traffic lights are affixed to poles in the ground, and obviously aren't moving, why the hell are they using GPRS instead of landline internet? less potential for theft, less potential for one downed tower or shitty weather to destroy the lights, and less GSM cancer.
