    McAfee: Hackers Going After Cars Next

    I must be ahead of Mac-A-Fee's time because I was hacking Car ECMs back in the '80s. In 2000 I put a '95 Camaro ECM into my '86 vette and hacked the crap out of the timing and fuel settings to make it go faster. People have been hacking Cars even before my time, they were just called...

    iPhone 5 Screen May Grow to 4-inches

    You mean that's it? Geesh. I prefer 24" at a minimum. What apple really needs to do is come out with iGlasses displays so all the iDiots walking around staring at their screens are at least looking forward.

    Dyson Expands Blade-Less Air Multiplier Fan Line

    I see them in stores everywhere, but not a single working display model. They obviously don't want you to try it before you buy it and go with an impulse buy.

    (somewhere behind the sceens at aPple): So how can we make a few extra bux off our new iPad? Milk it, milk it... I GOT IT! We'll launch it with the iPhone OS and then make them PAY for the iPad OS it should have come with in the first place. We'll include some of the features we know about...

    When the results come back and they don't agree with them, are they going to have NASA look at this???? ;o)

    NASA Investigates Toyota Accelerator Problem

    NASA needs to investigate why people can't RTFM. If people knew how to drive the cars they own, this wouldn't be an issue. Brakes are way more powerfull than the engine in 99% of the cars on the road. Back in the late '90s, I was driving a Taurus wagon rental car through a school zone when...
