I bought a Mountek nGroove Snap car mount; Sits inside the CD slot of your stereo, holds smart phones and small tablets up to 7" using magnets and an adhesive-attached metal plate. You need to adjust it every few days, but it only takes a few seconds to do and is rock-solid afterwards.

It could be that they're just really, really bad at data retention, in which case other people need to face jail time. There are already laws for that.

Exactly. There are only two real console gaming choices; Microsoft or Sony. Nintendo have fallen by the wayside with the WiiU, and don't concentrate on the same demographics. It's almost Hobson's Choice.
You're saying Sony are Too Big to Boycot? And I'm the idiot?
Boycott the whole Sony company? For you, who can check who made the CCD in your digital camera, or accepts they can't use AMOLED screen products, yes I'm sure it's possible. Joe Public, however, wants his Blu-Ray movie and his Bravia TV set so he can watch American Hustle or Zero Dark Thirty or Django Unchained, and he wants to play God of War and Gran Turismo. All made by, or involving, Sony, and those are the ones with a Sony brand on the box.
Don't be an idiot; Nobody expected Joe Public to boycott Sony over the rootkit thing, the OtherOS thing, or the myriad of other shady things they've done; They're too ubiquitous in their sectors. "Hey, I'm thinking of getting a game console, PS4 or XBox One?" "NEITHER! Consoles are DRM laden privacy invading boxes of Satan! Buy a PC, run Linux, be happy with indie games!" "Uhhh... PS4 then."
However, boycotting Kingston on your recommendation is very easy to do. "So I'm looking to upgrade my PC. Any recommendations?" "More RAM! Oh, I told you that one before? Ok then, put in an SSD. Intel, Samsung, Crucial, Corsair, G.Skill, OCZ, SanDisk, Toshiba, and Zalman are all reputable brands. In fact, for what you're going to be doing with them, pick any brand but Kingston for your budget. They were caught shafting consumers by swapping cheap parts into their high end stuff after reviews were published." "Ok, not Kingston. Got it."
"The editing process can involve correction, condensation, organization, and many other modifications performed with an intention of producing a correct, consistent, accurate and complete work."

I drive a Hyundai i20 1.4l petrol. I didn't mention the model as it didn't seem relevant. Mixed driving I get 40mpg (UK) which works out at approx. 33.3mpg (US). Thanks for pointing out they're not the same.
I was comparing a compact, economical car to a compact, economical car. Obviously you'd get the same disparity in price picking a top-of-the-range Audi A1, but the killer feature of the LEAF is the power train. It makes sense to compare those two features of each car. If there was a LEAF for sale for half the price without the sat nav and other pointless gumph I already own, I'd have bought one already. As I said to the parent; It seems we have similar commutes and usage. However, at the current, minimum price of £26,000 it is not economical at all.
As for my choice of source, does it matter what the source is if it's discussing figures and facts? These are all easily verifiable, and the WSJ has not been called out for slander based on the contents of the article. Therer may be other figures which contradict, or offset, the claims made by the WSJ, but it doesn't make the WSJ claims any less valid.
I'm stating verifiable fact, not saying that anyone shoudl buy them now.
See the histories here, for how many bitcoin were in circulation, and here for their USD price history. Prior to approximately Feb 2011 bitcoin were less than $1, yet there were 5m available at that time. Buying 100 for £20 around that time was easily doable, and now, not even at the peak of over $1000, they would be worth north of $60,000.
The Leaf is not an economical car, either in monetary terms or for the environment.
My car, similar in performance and physical size to a Leaf, gets 40mpg average and costs £50 to fill the tank, which I do bi-weekly. It looks like we have roughly the same annual mileage, too, of around 8 - 10k. Maintenance and tax is approx 500 per year, covering tyre changes, brake pads etc as required, adding up to approximately £1800 per annum. My car was purchased for £7000, brand new.
At my (our) usage level, and if your car has no running costs at all, you will have made the money back on your initial investment of £26,000 (base model, UK price) within 10 years. I am aware that there are leasing options for just the battery, or the entire car, but leasing is never cheaper than an outright cash purchase.
Oh, and my car has a 300 mile range, doesn't suffer from poor performance in cold weather, and is "recharged" to full capacity, everywhere, in less than five minutes. But yeah, that Leaf... <s>At least it's green </s>
Quite right. My information came from online automotive review sites, which didn't mention a fast charging option. Still, though, the Tesla charges to 80% in 10 minutes, and full capacity in 30. I'm certain Nissan would be up for this, especially considering the limited range.
For me, reading about Bitcoin when I first did, the money I would have invested in Bitcoin was spent in one transaction at a bar. For that investment (£20) at the purchase price of the time (20p per Bitcoin), I would currently own £35k worth of Bitcoin. 1750x return on investment.
Probably confused as Nissan have their own EV, the Leaf. I wouldn't be surprised if Nissan jump on the bandwagon too and gobble up that fast-charging / battery tech ASAP; It would make the Leaf a usable compact car. Current 8 hour charge cycle and ~90 mile range on a good day is pretty limiting, especially for £25k for the base model.

Is that in the article? In true Slashdot fashion I know nothing about the situation, but comment like I'm an expert. It's endemic.

If you've got a better way to toast a cheese sandwich while watching tv, I'd like to hear it.
If it doesn't involve lasers, flamethrowers or nuclear reactors, it's not a good was to toast a cheese sandwich.
Didn't you read the stub? Four nuclear reactors!
You're not that far from where pizza was invented, surely you can do better than that.
Yeah, but Dorcia doesn't deliver, and isn't open at 1am. Plus, it's a safer gamble than a prawn biryani.

At £15k it makes more economical sense, especially as a second car. It would start saving me money within 4 years, compared to 10 at £25k.
