This whole post is such BS. Sounds to me like his girlfriend is going to tell him to get a different car, and he cooked up a bunch of "proof" that he simply has to get an STI... you know, for the KIDS. All of his reasoning is pure BS, so I'll just take one:

I think the title is a bit misleading, as it makes it sound like it was a Porsche part that failed... but I guess "Kinesis wheel of unknown provenance suffers failure" isn't quite as interesting.

Oh, the irony. Using spammers' own techniques to avoid THEIR detection filters. How long is it before we're all tweeting about v1gra and c1al1s p1lls f0r ch33p?

I do like how they pronounce it. Sportaaaaaaage. Makes it sounds european n' fancy.

Not quite conclusive. My wife likes broccoli but just about threw up when she tried the PTC strip!

If you want to find out if you're a supertaster, you use test strips called PTC paper. For supertasters, they taste extremely bitter. To "tasters" like me, there is no reaction at all besides a vaguely chemical taste. After a slashfood article last year This got pretty popular, and a few companies started selling…

That's a big if. I have a first generation ipad, and it can't really keep more than a couple browser tabs open at once without safari having to refresh one when you go back to it. That's less than what my HTC G2 can do, loading the exact same web sites. There's only so much you can do with limited resources no…

The whole point of the article is that the software can only be as good as the underlying hardware. If part of the "better" end user experience means you can only keep two browser tabs open at a time... no amount of software can fix that.

For guys of his age "30 years ago" always means the sixties.

Personally I don't expect every computing device to be "one size fits all". I have an ipad now, but looking at the way that honeycomb is laid out I'd be happier with the xoom. Will I pay the money to switch? Hell no. But just because it's not right for grandma doesn't mean it's not a good product. If that was a…

One of the first cars I drove was a 92 V6 camry. The previous owner had switched out the all seasons for some wider, high performance tires, and even though it was the LE model it was actually a pretty fun car to drive. Granted, my other option at the time was a '95 Dodge Caravan that I tried my best to kill.

This thing looks like one of those japanese kei car versions of a classic car. All the style with hardly any of the utility.

Honestly I think it's Danger and T-Mobile's fault that the devices weren't taken more seriously. Up until the Sidekick2, it didn't really have the whole teeny bopper stigma... they just ended up chasing that market with the exclusion of all else when it got popular there. The platform could have actually gone…

As much as everybody makes fun of the sidekick, it was pretty revolutionary for its time. It came out at a time when the only other things out there with a QWERTY keyboard were rudimentary blackberrys and the first treos. It had cloud storage/backup for settings, apps and contacts, true push email, always-on IM,…

That one is a great recipe too. I made a batch of it with some Martinelli's cider and it came out pretty tasty. The carbonation does improve it, since one of the nice things about the carapils is that it actually gives the cider some head when you pour it.

This is a solid article if people are willing to do some homework on their recipes. If you're just looking for something other than a kit but don't want to delve into BJCP guidelines and the like, I highly recommend checking out the recipe areas on some home brewing forums. They will have large, active populations…

Ray- I know the new Jalopnik design is confusing, but I'm fairly certain that you can still directly post images here. I'm not sure though, I'm still having a bit of trouble with the navigation. It is your blog though, you should probably know these things.

I've been a gizmodo reader for the past five years or so. I primarily read articles in google reader, and come directly to gizmodo.com to comment and perhaps read other articles. I often found that when I *did* come to the site, I stuck around for a while- the articles highlighted at the top grabbed my interest, the…

You're literally shocked? Like, you got electrocuted when taking apart the typewriter? You really ought to have unplugged it first.

So, you spend a whole paragraph talking about how TIG is so much better than MIG, and yet you show a picture of a guy MIG welding on the car? I'm confused.
