Ah, but they are one of the most Western Japanese companies. Obviously, they had a foreign-born CEO (Sir Sony something or other). And yes, Honda is basically an American car company with headquarters in Japan, and possibly Toyota, too. But Sony makes Hollywood movies, sells music, Wintel PCs, made the walkman and…

Look, you glossed over the most relevant fact: it will be close to the ipad. 55 million ipads dwarf the consoles. Publishers will offer plenty of games for a device that has a touchscreen built-in and has similar internals to the ipad. The worst case scenario is that Nintendo is just blazing a trail for Smartglass…

"You know, chap, I do believe that enough time has passed since the war to sell the old German salooooooon."

That EXR-S is freaking cool. Like an Evoque ... with balls.

The board started to suspect that Varin was cheating on them when he grew a mullet, added Biden as a facebook friend and, the last straw came when he showed up to work in a T-Top screaming chicken Firebird, shirtless. Varin has agreed to attend pro-French counseling where he will smoke like a chimney, quote Camus and…

I live there, and it's nothing like the other places I've been, suburban DC and NYC.

Of course I'm a defensive owner when I say the xD has a better engine than the Soul, weighs less and is fine with a stick shift. And while I agree it's looks aren't for everyone, it's not terrible (when you delete the cheesy plastic hubcaps, as I have).

Here's the real reason upstate NY is so safe: the cars are all rusty. No one drives a quality car here for more than, like, a month in the summer, maybe. And if you love your expensive cars, you won't drive them on these roads, anyway. The window of opportunity is just so tiny.

If you're talking about out of control military spending, you're right. But most of the nation requires the government created by out Constitution to keep law and order, to keep free highways free, to keep monopolies from impoverishing them, to keep small businesses from getting snuffed out by illegal practices, to…

I have to think that you nailed it in the under $20k segment. Heavy, underpowered, lacking utility and mileage, obscurity without styling, tippy. I'm struggling for a positive outside reliability offered by rivals.

It's a less aerodynamic Versa, but unlike the Versa at least it's actually styled.

I have absolutely no doubt that the North Korean media is furiously preparing a story of how Kim Jong Un discovered Atlantis in his home-made deep sea submersible. And beat them the Atlanteans at underwater golf!

Star of the new Dany Bahar biopic film 'Add Ridiculousness and Vapour': Stephen Baldwin!

Me crashing a Ferrari: tragedy

Mondrian, your Nissan awaits.

He used a GT40 as a camera car. Steve fn McQueen.

You know, it's subjective. The square base with the hardware hookups isn't like Apple's designs. The exterior psu/woofer isn't like Apple design. There is no extension of the case below the monitor. The color is different. The keyboard is completely different. The trackpad is clearly different, I could go on. I…

It's not Vizio's fault that trackpads are cheaper and Metro works better with them. Yes, it's shipping with Windows 7, but with a $15 upgrade to Windows 8 I bet.

It has a 1tb drive, as well.
