Feb 9th 2011 10:07PM They didn't take R&D costs and customer-sourced change requests into account?

Kate Moss Moves Into Her New $12 Million Mansion {Luxist}
Jan 29th 2011 12:31AM I wonder how much she spent on the vomitorium and the cocaine cooler?

Also, Mr. Joseph, it's 166 "feet", not "feat" (second paragraph).
And, yes, it looks nice.

Jet Meets Heli: Rolls-Royce Powered Eurocopter X3 {Luxist}
Dec 21st 2010 9:24PM "Stylish looks" aren't enough for a helicopter.
You need reliability, speed, comfort and reasonable operating expenses. This helicopter will cost more to operate than a regular one (more parts. maintenance), but anyone with enough money may find the speed increase justifies the additional expense.
The military may also like it as an alternative to the V-22 Osprey.
Then it all boils down to who's first to market. That's VERY important.
