    Every time I see the CES logo I think that it was designed, done, and finished on time. Some executive thought "International" sounded cool and told his secretary to add it the night before it went to the printer.

    This totally changes my home remodeling plans. My wife wants a home office while I want a theater room. Now we can both win! I'll just get her a car with the SuperSYNC and then when she needs to work she can go out to the driveway while I watch football in full HD and 7.1 channels surround sound.


    Thanks Eva! You know me so well!

    @engineerd: Dude. 11.1 is the way to go.


    I'm not even being facetious. My Yamaha can actually output to 13.1 surround with a bit of creativity... but I only had 11 speakers.

    "Eva, I'm feeling stressed."

    "Would you like me to put on your 'Relaxing Jazz' playlist?"

    "No, I don't think that will help."

    "Allan, would you like me to activate the Orgasmatron?"

    "Perfect, Eva. Oh yes."


    I mean, having an EVA in your car is so fucking creepy.

    I mean, we thought it was weird having the "Door is ajar" lady in our Nissans (though she did sound sexy in french!)


    I mean, the EVA might not be so bad if it weren't for that creepy face.

    If a Lincoln can do all of that for me, I will buy a Lincoln-badged Pinto with faux wood side paneling and Commander Worf in the back seat for $150,000 to get it. I need that.

    I think this would be likely to either cause you to be late or have an accident. If you stop to do all this crap, you will never go anywhere. If you do it on the go, it will just distract you from the road.
