O_O

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on World of Warcraft Seems Like Kind of a Silly Hobby]]> $5700 a year? yeah, i'd much rather spend that on a car payment, gas, and canyon carving. Also, I hear actually going outside increases your chance of meeting females +1.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Apple Announces MacBook Event For October 14]]> I'd love to see the current model with quad core and support for 8gb memory, that'd get me to ignore the current sales going on (though $899 isn't tempting enough for a macbook, $699 is :P)

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Blackberry Storm Goes Live On Vodafone With 3D Tour, Official Spec Page]]> a true iphone killer to be sure!

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on X Sting Wish Fire Extinguisher Turns Firefighting Into a Shoot Out]]> i love the primary pic on this post. anyone who's ever set one off knows you aim at the base of the fire... who's going to be fighting a fire starting off a shoulder height? bag of burning shit on the roof of your car?

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on 2009 BMW 135i, Part Three]]> "Still, NO car on that list comes close to the versatility offered by the 1er. No car on that list can go from competent canyon-carver to freeway cruiser to intown commuter to bicycle hauler IN ONE DAY with no accessories"

Really? The 09 WRX doesn't meet those qualifications? Granted, I was sure this review would bring out the fanboi in any bmw driver but that's just ridiculous. And yes, I've driven the 09 aggressively through the twisties and extensively on the freeway and carried my fixie in it in the same day. It's rather ironic really, pointing out Wes' unsubstantiated views then providing a quote equally as unsubstantiated and vague as that. Props to you for attempting to write in the vein of the review I guess.

/sarcasm.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on The First Bill Gates + Jerry Seinfeld Microsoft Ad Makes No Sense]]> Um... let's see.. apple manages to create ads which both explain their products and features AND create rabid cues of fanbois to buy their products and Microsoft manages to create ads that... don't advertise anything? So... is this supposed to make me miss seinfeld because it wasn't funny.

And they're spending how much on these again?

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on RED May Be Making a DSLR Camera]]> k, so, what kind of mount are we talking? theirs? all new bajillion dollar body and lenses? oh ok.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on 2009 Cadillac CTS-V: First Drive]]> looks like a great value, very quick, and handles extraordinarily, props to GM for finally stepping up and providing a four door performance bargain that goes toe to toe with the best

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Do You Like The 2010 Chevy Volt?]]> Looks good, better than most of the cars gm puts out.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Nikon D90 Official: First DSLR Ever With HD Video Recording]]> great. so how's the sound? crap? oh cool. nice feature.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Apple Sued Class-Action Style for "Defective iPhone 3G"]]> i didn't realize apple managed the network as well as built the phone, now i know. thank god for lawsuits! and people like this for making me chuckle.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on NASA Tests Orion Parachute (Result: Spectacular Failure)]]> can we please just fund nasa or shut it down entirely. all these failures these last few years, just aren't very inspiring or heartwarming.

'some pieces fell off? it'll be fine'
'convert to/from metric? why bother'

seriously, what the hell.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Automatics Closing Fuel Economy Gap On Manuals; Engines, Electronics Lending A Hand]]> Wait, what. is this 2003? Finally beginning? DSG has been provided better fuel economy and acceleration for half a decade now. I guess not everyone keeps up with what's been in production for a while.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Nissan Cube USA Website Goes Live Complete With "Free" T-Shirt Offer]]> just tag lines? nothing graphically cube related? i'll save my $5 for another gallon or so of gas. passs.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Over One Third of Vista Machines Have Been Downgraded to XP]]> possibly the most entertaining collection of comments on a thread i've seen here in a while, reminds me of hardforum back when ME came out. thanks guys.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Tallest Skyscraper in the World Almost Completed, Defies Belief]]> @Git Em SteveDave displays attention-grabbing vanity: The transfer of wealth from the US to the UAE has been the largest in the history of civilization, their money isn't going to run out, especially as the US tumbles deeper and deeper into recession and continues to need outside sources of capital to keep the housing market afloat or fund our various wars.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on An In-Depth Video Tour of Android 0.9, an (Almost) Great (Almost) OS]]> It reminds me of vista. hey... osx has a nice interface, let's go head and flatter apple as much as we can without being sued. Same thing hear. sure it's not apple, but its obviously very much inspired by the iphones interface. i would have expected something more inventive from android than a mee-too iteration of the iphone gui.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Automotive News: Ford EcoBoost V6 To Cost About $700, Appearing On Flex, MKS Next Year]]> @SwatLax: I'm with you, ford already half a decade (to a decade depending on what car company you use as a point of reference) to the FSI and Bi-Turbo games, why not just drop a bi turbo 4 with fsi in every v6 powered sedan, here here. Might as well go all in if you're coming to the party later than most (save GM but that's moot).

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on DIY XR3 225 MPG Hybrid Car Kit Finally Finished, Hits the Road Soon for $25,000]]> @sullyMU: You are aware honda is leasing the car because it costs 7 figures to produce yes?

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Lexus Nuaero Concept is Straight Out of Starship Troopers]]> that's one ugly toyota, pass.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Nikon D90's DSLR Video Capture Mode Confirmed In Pictures]]> @Diskoboy - right, there's a reason live view isn't, most prosumer and professional photogs don't see the need. Most of us use our bodies to produce shots for work or art purposes and aren't trying to grab a frame of the toddler playing with the dog in the back yard. I don't care if a body has video or live view. I'm a photographer. I own DSLR and SLR bodies. I like taking still pictures. There are still those who engage in photography as an art form, vs squeezing of thousands of frames hoping one might just come out, and most of us don't give a flying f what live view option a body has, it's pointless.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Quarter Million Dollars of Digital Photo Gear in a Single Photo]]> hrm. according to this ad i'm looking at canon's the defacto choice for sports photographers yet only half or so of those lenses are the white L derivatives. w00t for marketing.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Star Wars: The Clone Wars Review (Or, The First Star Wars Movie You Will Truly Hate)]]> First? um. I loathed all of those abortive prequels lucas kicked out to sell toys to kiddies.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on 2009 Corvette ZR1 Vs. The Competition: By The Numbers]]> man someone really loves the high contrast S curve. lame.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Doppler Weather Radar Picks Up Car Blazing Down Highway at 130 MPH]]> hrm... anyone else still wondering why the blackbird R8 has liquid cooled infrasonic wave pulse generator :P

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on $13 iPhone App Faces Off Against, Embarrasses $150 Dedicated Dynometer]]> awesome review. I picked up a g-tech used a while ago, it is a bitch to use - so much so that i've used it twice. what a waste.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Trailer For Tron 2 Reboots Bad 80s Flashbacks With New Lightcycles]]> @layabout: never? i take it you never, ever, go to films on opening night? O_o

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Photos of Labs at Night Show a Spooky, Soulful Side to Science]]> @Gann:

yup, quite a bit more, and there are a raft of better evening shots. though your sarcasm at this played out vantage point is appreciated :D.

]]> <![CDATA[zamafir commented on Photos of Labs at Night Show a Spooky, Soulful Side to Science]]> Seriously? That's the best night shot anyone could provide of SALK? pretty sad.
