T-Mobile is just as bad. In my area I should have "best" coverage. Only problem is T-Mobile has few if any towers in the Omaha area and one bar or less. When I moved here I had T-Mobile, I could not make a call anywhere in my house, nor many places outside.
Best part is when I went to switch service, they charged me the ETF because their map said I have great coverage.
This is so people can feel important when they rev their noisy engine and/or signal a street race. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like the Highlander includes the automatic throttle feature.
Note that hundreds are reporting the story, out of the tens or hundreds of thousands sold. It is probably an isolated issue if it even exists and not necessarily easy to replicate. I wouldn't expect a single person, or person that person knew, to actually have this issue.
If it is the floormats, they are an issue themselves. It seems silly to recall a vehicle due to floormats or a gas pedal, but if need be.

Then why are people having these problems?

This doesn't seem to differ much from the Ubuntu release model (at least in this case). There were those advocating a week long delay to fix some issues, but this of course would have messed up the version number.
Thus your post adds nothing. The people who would use a "ruggid" [sic] computer are exactly those who would be using it out of doors, in an unheated construction site or vehicle, etc.
Of course your average laptop runs just fine in an office after warming up.
People like running OS X on Apple hardware? (This is not even going into the build quality and customer service which leaves most customers satisfied for years)
Snow Leopard was released in an upgrade and boxed set, specifically because only Leopard users were supposed to get the upgrade version. The box set is $169. OS X "upgrades" have always been full version copies.
$499 is for Mac OS X server with an unlimited client license, but hey Amazon has Windows Server 2008 5 client for only $699, what a steal!
Microsoft invested $150 million, Apple still had over $1 billion in the bank. Apple agreed to drop a suit which they would have won over some Apple patents which Microsoft infringed on (not to be confused with suits which Apple lost beforehand over copyright and bad contracts) and stolen code.
IIRC it is not possible to skip a release, so you would have to update to releases in between first.
The update-manager program may be used for upgrades. If you are on a LTS release you will first have to enable normal releases in your package manager configuration (don't have Ubuntu available to tell you the actual name), otherwise you will have to wait for the next LTS release which is supposed to be 10.4.
Obviously this isn't really "virtual reality", still it's a neat concept.
I think it could be quite a bit more useful for augmented reality, though a custom made device would be better (especially if it provided peripheral vision). I wouldn't mind a nice Terminator HUD, though maybe a bit less red.
With the PCs they are selling, they are in violation of the license agreement which states it may only be used on Apple-branded hardware.
Selling software to circumvent the protections built into the operating system or to purposely violate the software license may also get them into hot water.
I think that kind of control is wrong, putting the software on another machine should be fair use. Unfortunately it doesn't appear it will go that way.
Sure they have, see Blizzard vs Glider. Glider didn't come out of it very well with words like copyright infringement, interference with a contract and a DMCA violation.

It's so great how they raised our chocolate rations.
Because HAM radio is so much more private than AT&T cellular service.

Sprint roams on Verizon...
So, you've still got the network.

There you have it, the HAM in the truck in the other lane rag chewing on HF about his new rig has managed to seize control of the Prius.
I for one welcome our RC Prius wielding retired overlords.
Hihi
Mandriva 2008/2009: No fscking ctrl+mousewheel zoom. In the same hardware, Ubuntu does it. Had to use Ctrl+Keypad plus. Not the same thing.
You do realize this is a simple configuration option in CCSM?

If they're mounted in cars, they have to deal with heat extremes that a normal laptop probably can't handle (at least not long term).

NASA found the lighter weight of the Macbook Air was negated by the associated Apple taxes.
Just in case?
Military networks are isolated and still use Anti-Virus, and they have still had some publicized infections.
Or past five years, as they generally have a longer lifespan.
Uh... I think he already did.

How about Windows Genuine Advantage? This certainly disables some usability in unlicensed copies.
If you are using OS X on non-Apple hardware you are also using it without a license to do so.
It is common for OS X updates to break the hackintosh machines anyway, just as common are the ways people find around it. IMO this is not news.
Not all are "upgrade" versions.

Stop trolling, gawd!
Obviously someone is not very well read.
Lets keep the gold for ourselves.
It was 1997, and was not actually needed to keep the company alive.
Microsoft invested $150 million, Apple still had over $1 billion in the bank. Apple agreed to drop a suit which they would have won over some Apple patents which Microsoft infringed on (not to be confused with suits which Apple lost beforehand over copyright and bad contracts) and stolen code.
How about recruiting with a Mysterious Billboard?
Microsoft bought hotmail in 1997, and had a heck of a time moving it off of FreeBSD (still using it for some functions as late as 2001).
The original HoTMaiL was first of its kind and was quite revolutionary.
