One must wonder if control-alt-delete will be programable for one touch dialing....
It will be interesting to see how this is recieved in the cell phone community-
My opinion, and this is from an untrendy, not very cool guy- is that a lot of people who buy cell phones like something trendy and cool, and although we have all known about Apple for decades, a whole generation of younins think apple is a new company (Ipod) and would love an Apple phone- microsoft maybe not so much.
I would like a better gui on my phone's browser- but if i may be so honest- there are times when I just wish my phone would work as a phone- Im not worried about the options, just want it to work as a phone, no dropped calls, good reception.
In all seriousness- A surefire way to save fuel is to drive fewer miles....
If my truck gets 12 MPG (I work at night as a second job plowing snow in the winter, so that is why I have a beast of a truck, and I am not in a position to buy a small commuter vehicle other than my bicycle), and I commute 2 miles each way to my day job- am I am better eco citizen than someone with a prius who commutes 45 miles each way each day?
My favorite transportation is almost free to run, has minimal emissions (depending on my diet, there can be a methane trail behind me) and gives me calves that drive the ladies wild. (Okay, women are not driven wild by anything about me...) I really do only live 2 miles from my job- so I sepak from experience that I feel my quality of life is improved. A 5 minute commute= 1-2 more hours a day to do what you want, depending on your old commute time....
I agree- However I also am not interested in the government telling me what I can have on my vehicle. How many consumers need a vehicle that goes over 85 mph in the U.S.?
There are many things in the world we don't need... Person A may use things that aren't really needed, and bitch about the things person B uses that aren't really needed, and B then bitches about A... and on and on....
Correction- CTIS is controlled on Hummers by switch- it does not automatically come on when the pressure is low- the reason for this is to deflate the tires to increase the footprint on soft ground.
I am not trying to be rude- but you call Hummers an abomination, and then go on to give incorrect facts about Hummers, which makes me wonder if all your arguments agianst the Hummer are based on false assumptions.
I have never owned a Hummer, but I did spend a year with a HUMMV my daily driver, let's just say they run nicely over sand.
What is funny, is that I drive I 2003 Ford F-350 Crew Cab Dually with the powerstroke diesel. However, I live less than two miles from my office- I often drive to work (winter as I live in Ohio), but the thing is, with my huge truck, I personally consume less fuel than a lot of economy/hybrid drivers. Commuting 130 miles a day is insanity- that is a waste of resources, even in a hybrid. I live, shop and work in a very small radius. I keep my thermostat low in the winter, and high in the summer. Our whole energy consumption needs to be considered- a hollywood actress who brags about her Prius but flies on a Gulfstream and air conditions a 15,000 sq ft house is not saving energy.
P.S.- I was at the supermarket this spring, and some guy started yelling at me about my "gas guzzling truck," I walked him around to the front of it and showed him the Boss Plow mount, and had a talk with him about how to make extra money I work nights in the winter plowing, and that his Honda Civic couldn't even leave his garage in the winter if the parking lots/drives weren't plowed as in NE Ohio, you either need 4 wheel drive or you aren't going anywhere until the plows have been out. He apologized... I have never seen a Prius or a Hybrid CRV out plowing snow... But still, all this self righteousness needs to stop.
" How did a gamma ray burst escape the black hole? Sounds contradictory to me."
I belive the sphinchter pinches it off... Otherwise it would have a miles long trail behind it at all times....
