    yes, Japanese and Korean internal combustion powered cars are HUGE in the US market. That has nothing to do with the miniscule amount of electric cars in the USA, of course.

    The opinion of the kind of shitheads who watch reality TV is of no import. The internet is powered by communications companies, period. Content providing servers and the companies that run them can come and go.

    I was waiting for someone to make "The Shocker" reference.....of course, the very inexperienced geek college kids who think that is cool may one day find out female anatomy doesn't make it possible to actually use the configuration of fingers as advertised.

    but Microsoft has again and again missed the obvious technology evolutions, coming back years later with too little to late. Look at the 2% windows phone market share, 'nuff said

    You could say the same about any nice high rise apartment building or home in any hot city in any hot country. my home has AC too, other people in my state don't.

    I went to school for 19 years to have job so I could afford nice things like HVAC. other people, didn't.
