Tesla Saga continues: When is production car #2 not? (Autoblog Green)

May 13th 2008 10:24AM 2 F-ING BABIES!! Hey Martin, get over it already! Why do you give a rat’s ass if Elon (the “vampire that you let in”) gives his pal a car before you? From a historical perspective (and to us on the outside looking in), all hey contributed was cash, right? YOU, on the other hand, ARE THE VISIONARY, the pebble at the epicenter of the pond and ultimately the one whose legacy will be assured in the annals of history, especially when the future is filled with similar vehicle technology.

Remember Tesla? The other guy got all the props and it is only later on did the masses truly understand the genius of him (Tesla). Work on you and your legacy, “F” Elon! After all, HISTORICAL IMMORTALITY is all that is left when our physical being (and that of all those we know and love) long fades into carbon obscurity. So “don’t sweat the small stuff,” rise above it and "BE" IMMORTAL!!!

Sincerely
Frank Black

Apple iPhone release on June 11? (Engadget)

Mar 30th 2007 11:19AM Ok mel, explain to me what AT&T has to do with it? Will I not be able to buy these from an Apple store with out a contract? I Think so. Why? - because you can buy contract free phones now. Next step, bust the Crap SIM lock, ship and sell :^)...

Apple iPhone release on June 11? (Engadget)

Mar 30th 2007 8:59AM Hum! Ok time to plan the moves to get in on this “gravy train” and it will be one!
Ok, let’s see now:
1. Buy a couple hundred of these puppies.
2. Promptly bust the weak ass SIM lock (and it will be weak).
3. Contact my cousin in the UK and ship them to him for EU resale.
4. Or have him post them up on eBay UK for a tidy profit each.
5. Cash in my hand = (new motorcycle for the summer or bigger turbo for the

ride).
6. Oh and if the going is good, get a whole new ride or put cash down on new

crib.
The only thing that will put the kibosh on this plan is if the SIM lock is extra

strong but it won’t be. Capitalism is soooooo sweet ;^)...

Burnout 5 screens! (Joystiq Playstation)

Jan 5th 2007 1:37AM ONE WORD, PHYSX!
http://www.ageia.com/
PS3s and PCs (with PPUs) have it, Xbox360 and Wii does not!

This game will PWN on the PS3 because the series is designed to showcase damage physics which is what bring the thrill of Burnout to nextgen hardware is all about. Kudos to the B5 Devs for “top down development”!

On another note, Nextgen officially started in December of 2006 (with the release of all of the nextgen offerings) and I am already concerned about lazy SOB developers creating “lowest common denomination” titles (i.e. making cross platform titles for the gimpiest hardware in the bunch then “lazily porting it up”). Well be on notice that we are watching you and we will blog your lazy azzes right out of existence! NOW GET TO WORK ;^)...

PS3 is the console of the year! (Joystiq Playstation)

Dec 28th 2006 2:52PM HEY! GUESS WHAT? THE TOP SELLING CONSOLE FOR THE SEASON WAS THE PLAYSTATION 2!! I KNOW THIS MAY HURT SOME, BUT IT’S A FACT!!

What this says to me is that there are still many “fence sitters” out there keeping their powder dry. For what you ask? And why would they be buying the PS2 at this point? Who knows. Maybe;

1. A PS2 purchase is painless (low price, thousands of titles and more in the pipe i.e. GOW2)?
2. Waiting for increased PS3 availability (because they are in no rush)?
3. Waiting for PS3 price drops (because they are in no rush)?
4. The comfort of knowing that post 2 and 3 (because they are in no rush) old and recently acquired PS2 titles can come with them to the PS3?

WHO KNOWS. THE FACT REMAINS, HOWEVER, THAT THE PLAYSTATION 2 WAS THE BEST SELLING CONSOLE OF THE SEASON! SUP WITH THAT??

Oct 16th 2006 4:13PM IT WON’T WORK! STOP IT ALREADY WITH THIS DRM NONSENSE!! “CONTENT SEEKS UBIQUITY” PERIOD!! AND THE WAY YOU FIX IT, (DRUM ROLL PLEASE,) IS BY (TASTEFUL, ART IMITATING LIFE TYPE) PRODUCT PLACEMENT (I.E. YES PEOPLE DO DRINK COKE IN REAL LIFE) WITHIN THE CONTENT!
