]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Tunachucker Hero Eats Nevada Sand For A Week, Brings Back Mutant Vehicle Photos]]> "Hippies"? I guess ignorance is bliss. Hippies don't have the motivation required to even build the most rudimentary art car.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on 2010 Toyota Prius Spotted, Ironically, At Gas Station]]> So the Prius ripped off the Honda Hybrid which ripped off the Prius anyway?

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Brunopasso: The Sports Car of Espresso Machines]]> "Sports car of espresso machines"? It's more like the overpriced econobox with spoilers of espresso machines. Not only does it take pods but no real espresso machine has a frothing aid on the steam wand. Geez.

@LittleJon: There's so much more to a decent espresso machine than "a pump and decent pressure".

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Hackers Get Free Ride On California FasTrak Toll System]]> @crewcutkid: I don't know what podunk town you live in but the cash lanes here take orders of magnitude more than 10 seconds. And "everyone else" is using transponders. The cash toll road users are the minority.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Fold-Up Plane Finally Shown Folding Up]]> @GeekyNerdGuy: I'll trade affordability for VTOL any day.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Honda Hybrid To Start at $18,500, Wipe Smug Smile Off Prius' Face]]> @kingedwin: Never heard of the S2000, eh?

@Van Sarockin: I think they will but the "greatly simplified" version of IMA makes me wonder since IMA was pretty mild to begin with. If you're going for Prius ugly you need at least Prius efficiency.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Laser Star Allegedly Turns Your Clunker Into Invisible Asphalt Phantom]]> @IphtashuFitz: I'm not sure what you're smoking but the ZR4 was just released. How exactly did you get it installed 6 years ago?

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Das Ultimate Keyboard is Too Cool for Key Legends]]> Meh. You like it or your don't. It's like anything else in life...

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on First Pics of Touchscreen BlackBerry Thunder in Action]]> @SpyderMS: You obviously haven't used the browser in 4.5.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Ten Greatest American Police Patrol Cars]]> HPD has started deploying these:

You can spot them with their PD fleet steel wheels, antennas, the front bumper, and other details but they're very easy to overlook at a glance.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Hummer Sales Fall 59.3%, Rest Of GM Sales Down 18.5%, Car Industry Carnage Continues]]> @sos10: 59% is pretty massive regardless of the actual figures. Would you consider a 59% paycut meaningless?

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Roadscan Drive Recorder: Like a Black Box For Your Car]]> Umm, great. So this device is only useful for capturing when you have rear ended someone else?? How about collisions from other angles where someone else would be at fault?

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Adam Carolla: Top Gear For "Real Gearheads"]]> I'll give this a shot but I suspect it will end up on the trash heap of American TV adaptations along with Iron Chef, Robot Wars, etc etc...

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on $2000 Net-Connected Coffeemaker Opens Your PC to Hacks, Crappy Coffee]]> @phreakincool: People that can't tell a drip coffee maker from an espresso machine need to be beaten with the computer they're using to type up such inane comments.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on $2000 Net-Connected Coffeemaker Opens Your PC to Hacks, Crappy Coffee]]> @altus: If you're getting "fresh roasted" beans from Starbucks then your knowledge of great espresso is highly dubious.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Question of the Day: What Type of Keyboard Is the Best to Use?]]> Definitely the IBM Model M's.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Lightning Review: The "Clicky" Das Keyboard Professional]]> $130? I'm sticking with my M13.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on American Idol Ruins Johnny Cash Song With Help From A Fake KITT Mustang]]> @adidascrosscountry:
You realize that this is a Ford commerical and not a performance that is part of they show, right? Of course it's un-subtle, completely paid, & heavy-handed

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Tesla Motors Opens First Dealership in LA]]> @mlonidot: Ever heard of these things called web sites where companies stick info?

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on BlackBerry 9000 Reviewed Early (Verdict: Fantastic)]]> @Wegmans: That's SOP for CDMA carriers.

@Townie: Well, then don't get it. Not everything is for everyone.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on BlackBerry Kickstart Launching on T-Mobile, Less Ugly Than Suspected]]> I'd guess it's maybe marginally thicker than the 8310 but it is interesting how everyone's an expert on the Kickstart's dimensions based on a photo (not that that's new or anything)....

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on SteelSeries 7G Pro Gaming Keyboard Built Like a Tank, Costs Almost as Much]]> @SigmundTheSeaMonster:
IBM M series is the way to go. Loud will be the last concern of the person on the end taking the beating...

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on BlackBerry 9000 Final Specs, AT&T Exclusive for US Launch]]> @Skorpius: Why should they? The CDMA carriers are obviously small fry for RIM. If you want the latest BB, CDMA isn't the way to go but it has been like that for years. No use griping about it.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Starbucks' New "High Performance" Mastrena Espresso Machine]]> You can't regain soul or make good espresso with a superauto. At best you can can achieve consistent mediocrity. So much for Starbucks and their efforts "to change".

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Alienware's Updated Aurora Gaming Desktop Starts at $999]]> @gqcarrick: No one cares. As M.A.S. says it's the same old same old response we see every time. It was old the first time anyone ever bothered to post it.

]]> <![CDATA[takeshi commented on Ten Things You Need to Know About the Optimus Maximus Keyboard Hardware]]> A pricey keyboard not meant for typing? Awesome! What will they think of next?
