Amazon music, movie downloads coming to T-Mobile G1? {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 22nd 2008 11:28PM So aside from the plants placed by the amazon marketing dept anyone else thinking; yah iphone apps are great and all but watching a whole movie or tv episode on a 3" screen just ain't gonna take off? An iphone app is good cuz you can use it for a few min then revisit it later, a movie or tv episode though, you're away from a home tv like what, 9 hours at work, you can't wait a third of a day to watch a tv episode where you're not squinting to figure out what character's talking?

GM: "human error" behind leak of 2011 Chevy Volt pics {Autoblog}
Sep 9th 2008 10:18AM "Human Error" eh.... the fact that the production version looks nothing like the concept but is infact just another itteration of the prius/insight body style, won't be out till 2011 and costs twice what the recently released insght will I'm sure had noithing to do with it. Nope, they're not worried nobodies going to care or laugh at them in two years when they try to sell it to a price bracket of people who are used to cars like the 3 series.
Volt's EPA rating could be cut by new standards {Autoblog}
Sep 8th 2008 10:01AM It doesn't matter, the volt is a failed idea from the beginning and any other time than now people may not notice it but with the economy as it is, people will.
Although they're marketing it as an environmentally saving car, the reality is, people are looking at it to not spend money on gas by buying it so let’s look at that. Take the most fuel efficient non-hybrid car, the smart fortwo. The car costs $12,000, gets 33mpg city and has an 8.7gal tank meaning you can get 287 miles out of it on a fill up that will cost you about $40.50 currently. Giving the advantage to the Volt, say I only want to drive 40 miles per day so you would never have to buy gas for it. At 40 grand, I would have to own the car for 14 years to see any savings money wise vs. buying the smart fortwo. Granted the fortwo doesn't seat more than two people and is ugly as all hell but the fact remains, the Volt has become simply a marketing campaign for gm to show that they're still on top of what’s deemed important to consumers, even though those that are willing to spend 40 grand on a car could give less of a SH$& about gas prices.

FCC chairman dreams of free mobile internet for all Americans {Engadget}
Aug 20th 2008 10:13PM Dude, even in theory your economy is completely based on being able to get services and goods from an extremely cheap source ie the asian countries, without that, or if and when your country pisses them off the states is completely screwed and will have to do "an iraq" and find a way to "save their people from _____" (take what you want). Also with regards to the rest of your post, Americans don't seem to broken up on losing rights and with your economy as it is now, i wouldn't scoff at free anything, god knows walmart is the retail jesus to the US and since it doesn't look like your economy will be improving anytime within the next 5 years they may be the next American prada. If there was truly free wireless internet or even half true wireless internet I bet alot of people would subscribe.
iPhone experiencing GPS problems after 2.0.1 update? {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 11th 2008 6:54PM I have experienced this issue. Before the update it was i'd say good enough to use on a regulare basis with some areas occasionaly being non-responsive. After the update though, its total crap, I'll be driving down a straight road and it will follow me but by putting me a block north, then a block south then a block north...all the way along, then it will stop working all together and say it can find me.
The other day I was in a spot leaving work where it had found me many times before yet now it finds me in the middle of lake ontario, (i'm in toronto) and work a good 5km north of the lake. There's definitely something wrong, sometimes it takes forever to work and sometimes it take only a few seconds but it will be 3-4 blocks off which is useless. They need to fix this.
Mexico confiscates trucks crossing border for cheap diesel {Autoblog}
Aug 10th 2008 1:34AM This makes perfect sense, let alone the fact that Mexican diesel will wreck your engine lets create an example. Say 10 years in the future there was a commodity the US happened (ie tooK from...) to have that was much cheaper than anywhere else. You had thousands of people coming into the us so they can get it then leave, you don't think the US would do something to prevent this? You're delusional if you do, and even more delusional if you don't think this will happen. Mexico has no oil, ten years from now who will, the us, maybe russia and canada, then who will be the country being inundated with people trying to get it?
