Cell Phones Disable Keys for High-End Cars
Geoffrey.landis writes "Turns out if you have a top-end Nissan car, your cellphone may erase your car key. '"We discovered that if the I-Key touches a cellphone, outgoing or incoming calls have the potential to alter the electronic code inside the I-Key," Nissan spokesman Kyle Bazemore said. "The car won't start and the I-Key cannot be reprogrammed."'"
Sorry, but Macintosh's were NEVER PCs. They are however a Personal Computer, and always have been. You see, PC is shortened version of IBM PC Compatible. While yes, PC in IBM PC stood for Personal Computer, the term PC never applied to Macintosh (or Amigas, Sun, DEC Alpha or other "personal" computers). So while you think you are being either funny or cleaver, you are in fact showing your ignorance (or arrogance).
Next time, keep your troll to yourself.

Yeah, but that Mazda was still made by moron American blue-collars
(I'm an American. I work blue collar because I'm still in college. I wouldn't let any of the people at the factory I work at between semesters come anywhere NEAR my car)
You obviously don't use elevators very much since they screw up all the time. And not only have I seen traffic lights go green in both directions several times, but here in Northern Virginia they are having a huge problems getting their new computer controlled traffic lights to work properly.
Medical equipment has a much longer development cycle and the same product can be sold for years without much changes after development....not to mention the much higher profit margins......
Not to mention the simplicity of comparing a traffic light or elevator to a car.

CARS ARE MUCH MORE COMPLICATED and NEED TO BE REDESIGNED EVERY THREE YEARS.
Yes, I know I'm an rude asshole, you don't need to tell me so.
Does using proper english in "conversations" on the internet make you feel sophisticated? Do you not get the opportunity to make feel smart comments in real life?
