Spoiled brat not happy with his 16th birthday present {WalletPop}
Jul 7th 2009 11:57PM Hah. Weak stringy arms. Probably realized it didn't have power steering and he wouldn't be able to turn the corner.
Also, the thing screams "SCRIPTED" in loud orange reddish letters.
Truck Plus Jet Engine Equals Fastest Pickup Truck Ever {Switched}
Jul 5th 2009 3:15PM been done to a minivan and VW Beetle before... nothing newsworthy. still pretty awesome, don't get me wrong, but nothing new.
Cyclists: Range Rover drivers worst on the road {Autoblog Green}
Sep 4th 2008 9:32PM Jay you are a moron. Picture a bike going 25+ mph down a SIDEWALK...
Bikes have equal rights. SUV drivers have unequally small brains.
Automower -- Lawnmower from the Year 3000 {Asylum}
Aug 29th 2008 12:56AM It's been out a while I think. Either that or something very much like it...
Doesn't take much of a genius to beef up a Roomba and put blades on it instead of fluffy dreams on wood. God that sounded wrong.

Aug 28th 2008 5:36PM to dl,
He's just another blogger. his cred is all in his name, unfortunately... and I agree, Larry and Curly are rather necessary sidekicks he just doesn't seem to have!
Traffic deaths down, U.S. roads reach record level of safety {Autoblog}
Aug 20th 2008 4:41PM Matter of fact, the Japanese did jump on the DRL bandwagon but I think that was for about a year, while it was like a legal requirement in the US or something. Not only do DRL's kill, they make you complacent about actually turning on your lights when you jump into a good car. Double kill. And they burn up your headlights faster. Dollar kill.
Ok, rant's over.
Traffic deaths down, U.S. roads reach record level of safety {Autoblog}
Aug 20th 2008 4:38PM Thank you thank you for saying this. I just had a 6-hour drive across Indiana/Illinois, and I swear to god, there was someone in the left lane making a roadblock. He finally moved into right, I passed on left, and he (listen carefully) MOVED BACK INTO THE LEFT LANE WHILE GIVING ME THE FINGER. Some people need to learn road manners.
Verizon Bans Libshitz Family From Using Last Name in E-Mail Address {Switched}
Aug 6th 2008 5:53PM oh my god yes they do. not only is verizon tough to deal with, their commercials actively put down other companies (in any other arena this would be termed "bad sportsmanship") and every one of their employees that I've known is a total deleted. Now before anyone gets on my case, I'm sure there are nice verizon employees. just that they don't seem to...uhm...exist.
Pilots forced to cut corners on safe fuel levels, networks say {Gadling}
Apr 22nd 2008 11:56PM Fuel has weight and thus takes more energy to lift into the air. By flying around another couple hundred (or maybe thousand? I'm not sure) pounds of fuel, they are wasting fuel. It's like pulling a trailer with your car. The heavier the trailer, the more your fuel economy sags, the more you're paying for gas. It's basic physics tying in to cost cutting.
VIDEO: Autoblog shows how to unlock your car with a cell phone {Autoblog}
Jun 9th 2007 10:48AM Yeah, except he hit the button once and it didn't work, before he called the cell phone.
In terms of frequency, relatively close range would mean that both phones are connected to the same tower, meaning a more lossless sound quality, and a more accurate transmission of waves, audio or radio. After all, they are all just waves....
