No... Ford doesn't make Microwaves... But has everyone seem to overlook Japanese companies? They make Microsoft look like a kid in a sandbox, while they own the playground.
Look at Seiko, Mitsubishi, Yamaha. Now tell me that there is another industry that doesn't do that. They make cars, rice cookers, microwave, computer components, cell phones, pay loaders... blah blah blah.
One third of the products you buy that are created by someone like Mitsubishi are created under another name!
Yes, I do agree that most americans are "brand stupified" but... c'mon... The buy it because it's microsoft I just don't agree with.
(Mostly they won't buy Microsoft, 'cause most people think Microsoft is a big meanie, even people who don't understand the hate-microsoft movement fully)
I haven't driven over there (UK) but I've heard it's white knuckled...
Even still, I don't think that this is the right move... It's way to Big Brother, considering they'll turn it into a law that when you maintain registration, or emissions on your vehicle (a 2000 model or before) you'll have to get the sat. device installed, or your car doesn't go on the road legally again...
I honestly don't think that this'll pass... It's a little too ex-Red... \Twyg \NYRF=Squires Pendragon Games
I couldn't agree more 'bro... It's an outrageous amount to be asking... seems to be to be a 'celebrity stunt'... "Hey, maybe if I ask for more money than the world even has, I'll be back in the spotlight" Know what I think... corny (other words come to mind, but I ain't gonna use 'em....)Sh**head comes to mind (whoops was that the out loud voice) \Twyg \NYRF=Squires Pendragon Games

People who read this strip, and haven't worked w/ non-users from a tech standpoint just wouldn't understand...
All of us know as well we make more than enough fun of the 'danes in our little boxes as we work. It's nothing new, it's just out of the box now...
And they are rather amusing strips as well...
