• I have the feeling thaat they are going to price this way out of reach for most consumers.. Especially with the economy down the chute as it is, and so many out of work.. In reply to: "Think to manufacture electric cars in Indiana"

• This sites basic concept is absolutely disgusting.. The site and it;s members are nothing but a bunch of Narcissistic, self absorbed, shallow, superficial and moronic yuppie larva. Did I leave anything out?? These are the same types of idiots they get to be on shows like The Bachelor, and it's ilk. I wish people would come to their senses and realize that physical appearance is NOT what makes a person beautiful. But then again, they would have to have a brain cell for that realization..

• There needs to be a uniform law for all states. Then install a jammer in all new cars. That would stop the issue very quickly. BTW this article falls under the heading of Majorly overstating the obvious. In reply to: "DEWD, U think DUI is bad, try DWT"

• The really sad thing is that Facebook, and others who sue these dirtballs are basically throwing money away suing them. They will probably never see one penny of restitution, and if the morons leave the state, then well too bad. There should be orders put in place to prevent them moving and attachments made to any income they might receive. Either than or toss them in the nastiest darkest stink hole of a prison they can find. And keep them there until they are nothing more than a bad memory...

• Yet another money car marketed to the "More money than brains" Yuppie Crowd.. What a waste of time and resources... They need to stop playing with this kind of garbage and come up with PRACTICAL vehicles that normal people can afford... In reply to: "Yet another hybrid supercar"

• Affordable??? By what standards?? The majority of the high emissions vehicles sold in the US and around the globe consist of older used vehicles which is all most folks can afford nowadays. I just bought a 2006 Caravan for $10K and that was all I had to spend. With the economy in the crapper, that's probably about the maximum most middle to lower class families would be spending. Another thing is that these cars are small.... What about a family who needs a minivan or large sedan? They are not going to want to plunk down a years salary on a car which only comfortably fits 2, has zero storage space and not a lot of charging stations. They would end up using mostly gasoline anyways. As they are.. Until someone comes out with a TRULY practical Hybrid or electric, they will remain a plaything for those with more money than brains. And as such, they will have no appreciable effect on the environment. They are nothing more than a chance for auto makers to stick some new fad out on the market to make a quick buck on... Where is Henry Ford when you need him. He understood the realities of auto sales in a bad economy.. Remember a little car called the Model T. It was designed as an affordable family vehicle, and almost everyone could afford one. The same holds true for the Volkswagen Beetle. Now the Model T has been replaced by badly built and overpriced Yuppie-Mobiles, and the Beetle' is just a plaything for those same yuppies with more money than brains... We need a practical electric with good range on pure electric, say over 400 miles, a good amount of storage room (something like the older station wagons), and it needs to be under $10K, with no interest financing. THAT my friends is just about the only vehicle which would have an effect on the environment. And I think we would be better off exploring more research on Hydrogen Fuel Cells. No emissions.. at all... In reply to: "Toyota to sell 'affordable' plug-in hybrids in '11"

• I personally fail to see the big attraction. I own a simple, inexpensive Kyocera Xtc. It doubles as an MP3 player if my Zune batteries die, and has a built in video/still camera. It costs less than $100 and I used a prepaid credit from Virgin Mobile to get it. It's a phone, and when you get right down to it, that's all a phone should be... A phone... This swiss army knife approach that the big companies take when designing these overpriced, overhyped jack of all trades phones is ridiculous. Montgomery Scott said it best in Star Trek III.. "The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stuff up the drain..." Mankind survived for millenia without these devices and truth be told, we were probably better off without them. It's a phone people..... Get over it. In reply to: "iPhone users are delusional, consultants say"

• This is one of the main reasons that Cloud Computing is a completely moronic idea..... Individuals and companies will be placing their trust in outside services which they have little or no control, and risking everything from data stealing to viral infection. The only reason it's popular now is because the slick ad experts and publicity dips have conned the entire online world into thinking it's a good idea..... And people, being the sheep that they are, bought it hook line and sinker... In reply to: "Trend Micro forecasts future threats"

• I have a set procedure for dealing with this kind of spam. This is for email, texting, and any other form of spam. First, find out who is actually sending the text. A lot of times it is actually some third party marketing company who is under contract from the business they are advertising. First I try the opt out method, which I find seldom works and usually results in more spam because then they know that the email address/phone number or whatever is live. Next I will contact my ISP or Cell Carrier. This usually yields few results, but you never know. If that doesn't work, then I try and get ahold of the marketing agency and tell them to stop on the phone or by US mail (snail mail.) Up until this point , these actions are to make sure all of your bases are covered since none of these usually work. The next phase sometimes works. Contact the company the spam is being sent for. Inform them both on the phone and through snail mail, that they are basically annoying you and that you will be taking them off of your mental list of companies that you will do business with. Also mention all of your friends and neighbors who you will feel obliged to inform of their company's rotten marketing tactics, and suggest that they too, remove the company from their active list. About 40% of the time, this stops the spam. The next phase usually works. Write up a legal document indicating that if they do not cease and desist immediately, you will be proceeding with legal action for harassment and anything else you can think up that they have done. Give them 14 business days to comply and then if they don't stop. Contact the nearest legal aid clinic for help drawing up papers. There are laws out there that protect consumers from this type of marketing. It's just that most consumers haven't got a clue what they are. Do some research... And it is very important to document everything, at every step in the process. Make sure to keep very accurate and precise records of times and dates as well as contact info for everyone you talk to or write to. In reply to: "Woman sues Burger King over spam texts"
