Thank God they aren't a monopoly where I live!

Couldn't... stop... watching... the... video...

MMS is dead. Along with Blackberry and Palm.

I place the order on the 19th in the evening, by the next morning I get an email from Apple saying that since it was submitted a little late, normally it wouldn't make it by Christmas, but they said they had rush processed it and would overnight it. I got it on the 21st. I was impressed, shocked, and excited. My Mom cried because she was happy after seeing the photo book.

One of these days I'll try Shutterfly, but just with the customer service from Apple, I would order photo books from them again.

Dudes, chill the fuck out and let the guy have some fun. He's old and probably can't get much. Everyone against him probably have their knickers all tied up and their wives are telling them to pursue this... even though they would rather be banging 5 Nazi hookers on a Friday night without a thought of their wives crossing their mind.

@rgseidl: I thought I read on another article that the VIN was changed or tampered with, so it didn't show up correctly. But blaming the DMV seems like a better answer. Man, I can't stand them.

@ЯEVEЯEЙD POLAЯ: Damn man, you're spot on!

I have to say though, at highway speeds, the road noise sucks... but if you replace the tires, it makes a huge difference for the best. And the ride is a little bouncy, but you can easily drink a cup of coffee with one hand and drive with the other (aggressive driving is a bit more difficult). In LA traffic, it's not bad... but my clutch doesn't enjoy it. And once you have the car for awhile, it adjusts to be calm when needed to be and insane for those other moments. Since this is my daily driver, unfortunately I have over 32,000 miles on it since I got it in September 06... but it can make it one hell of a drive to work - in a very good way!

Cops seem to love it too, as it shows on my driving record... grr...

Too bad Honda pulled a Crown Vic and hardly updated it for the 12-some-odd years it was out. Still, a gorgeous car and if Honda/Acura ever gets their act together, we'll have a replacement. Until then...

Also in Central Oregon, they have been using the a lot of the manurer from the larger farms to power the grid... but this process has only been in effect for about 5 years.

This, along with turbine toilets, allows me to take a crap and feel like I'm helping the world.

I've been to Microsoft's campus too... it's nice that it's all in one location, but yes, the layout is confusing and you have to squint to read the signs.

The interior is nice, but that's all it is. Oh, and they need to fix that automatic so you can redline it without it shifting on you. Some flappy paddles would be welcome, but again... it probably doesn't suit the target market.

"We're going to make it the most affordable BMW ever EVER!" Yeah, right. Steering wheel and seats are extra.

@FLB: For reals?!!

@smokeydog001: No........ My eyes... burning....

As for the Camaro, I'm hoping that the lights will be the same as the concept. I know it's a small detail, but it makes the car look more alive.

I think a lot of the commenters on here don't realize that these ARE HUMANS and humans have FUCKUPS too. You people need to chill. When you have a business, whether it being 20 employees, or over 20,000, not everybody will be around the water cooler talking about every corporate issue that come up. Also, it's not a CEO's job to know EVERYTHING... it would be nice if they did, but it doesn't happen. The "sue, sue, sue" response is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Luckily, no one was hurt and it wasn't a matter of life or death. If it was, then yes, I think a better end result should result of that.

Yes, Dancing Deer dropped the ball for Helen's unfortunate "find," but the CEO wrote a very sympathetic email apologizing on what happened. You might or might not find out what happens afterwards, but at least the CEO is admitting they had a customer service problem, taking responsibility for the issue, AND personally doing doing a followup with Helen. Hopefully this all works out and both Trish and Helen are satisfied with the results.

People pay more for the hybrid versions of cars. Why not save your money, purchase a 4 cylinder Camry instead of the Hybrid version? Toyota claims the hybrid gets as good as the 4 cylinder, so just purchase the cheaper. People are stupid, uninformed, and are purchasing hybrids to make a statement.

Lets say the next Prius gets a unbelievable 15% increase in fuel savings. Big whoop. 51 MPG. Both a VW Jetta TDI and the Civic i-CTDi can get better milage. I haven't heard that having the urea system takes off 5% efficiency... it might, but I would doubt that cleaning the exhaust takes off that much, or anything.

I'm with Ben about having a hybrid diesel engine and to see how efficient those could be.

There are a lot better businesses, like Costco or Newegg, that will be cheaper and more helpful.
