What coolant hoses are you talking about?!? The only cooling an electric car needs is for the battery. In automation, electric motors are rated for YEARS of continuous operation. The oldest hybrids on the road today, with hundreds of thousands of miles, don't need electric motor work. It's the gas engine and battery where the issues come from.
Also, unsprung mass only matters to race cars. Otherwise you'd see aluminum everything in the suspension instead of steel. Most people don't care about "handling", see: SUV's and pickup trucks.
"When a kid gets diarrhea, no, there's no website that relieves that."
Not directly, but a website can give you information on what to do in the case of getting diarrhea and how to avoid it in the future. Teach a man to fish, Gates. Teach a man to fish.
We're already past the level where I can benefit from higher resolution on phones. I'm over 40 and already have reading glasses, but I'd need to get special phone-only glasses to see any more detail or smaller type.
We (as a community) need to develop to fix the problem, not hack around it. Keeping the screen resolution low is a hack. Using the correct DPI for the screen size and resolution is the correct fix. We are not 100% there yet, but it's coming around.
Please don't encourage hardware manufacturers to develop for the lowest common denominator, otherwise you'll end up with the grandpa-phone with 2" square buttons.
You can fly a plane entirely staring at a screen (See: IFR). Touching a virtual button on the screen you're already looking at isn't really the issue. You can't drive a car by instrumentation only.
No, it is illegal to send encrypted content via packet. That makes any kind of web browsing pretty much impossible (Google, for example, does https for everything now...and I wouldn't want my plain-text passwords going all over the place).

House of Cards was the first series and is top notch. Amazon is doing the same thing (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2417007,00.asp), as is Youtube (http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/10/17/2043252/original-content-coming-to-youtube) and Hulu (http://blog.hulu.com/2013/01/08/2013-original-and-exclusive-series-preview/).
This is one of the most exciting trends in video entertainment today.

So...Steve Ballmer got part of it right? I mean, throwing chair's is his specialty right?

Which is why Sprint offers service through MNVO's.

I second that. My Motorola Photon Q runs circles around my Galaxy Nexus signal quality wise.
Sad news for such a promising mission.
I agree. Brian Cox's Wonders of the Solar System/Universe reminded me very much of an updated Cosmos.
No, in this case you can pay for the car but only drive it for emergencies.
