Sep 25th 2008 4:19PM the isight camera is facing up due to the tilt of the screen, so the image capture seems legit.

Sep 12th 2008 8:39AM it's really not hard to do a DIY HDD replacement on a MBP, just remember to take everything slowly -- especially when you remove the top case/keyboard -- I thought I had ripped the ribbon cable's contact from the mobo when I lifted mine too quickly, but luckily they're the "quick disconnect" type ribbon connectors.
FYI, visit ifixit to see some intricate teardown instructions and photos.
Porsche considering return of four-cylinder engines {Autoblog}
Sep 10th 2008 11:12AM I'd personally love to see the boxster and cayman set apart from the 911 by having turbo'd flat-fours, but then those that are used to the flat-six would cry that Porsche lopped two cylinders off to make the cars more mainstream or something like that.
I'd buy a Cayman with a turbo four if it was under $30-$35k...
Same old shtick: IIHS wants to delay licenses for teens {Autoblog}
Sep 9th 2008 2:51PM I'm with you -- I got my license at 16 and had 3 wrecks were I was at fault before I had turned 18. I was a total idiot with cars when I was that young. Even though it was a rite of passage for me and a relief on my parents, in retrospect, it was a bad idea. I would support legislation to raise the age to 17. I do, however, think that 17 should be the highest it should go. By the time kids hit 17, they usually have at least part-time jobs and need some more independence.
Rendered Speculation: BMW X2 is X1's sporty sibling {Autoblog}

Sep 4th 2008 12:30PM 170hp out of a 2.0L 4cyl? my civic does better than that... 'course it goes to 8k too...
why not throw a turbo on it, sacrifice 1-2mpg, and gain another 40 horses or so (if tuned properly)
