Even though they have huge cash reserves, and there's a special tax to apply on companies to do this, nobody has put it on them yet, even though the government could. This is a company who spent 650 million just to keep Netscape from getting any traction on the desktop of Internet computers by giving away IE, then lying that it was so integrated that they couldn't take it out, even though hacker could.

So just snap out of the shock at anything they do. They have the connections to murder someone and local officials will say it was "a needed purge to society".

The rule of thumb is buying more video card than you need if you upgrade yourself, if you buy a whole new system that's prebuilt, then don't upgrade video, just wait for your next system.
Also if you go SLI, you're in for a much more complicated system than with one very powerful card. Also they pair or quad of them will be obsolete for an even bigger loss someday.

Just get one powerful single card without these SLI reindeer games and compatibility issues and be done with it. One top end card that costs the same as two SLI versions will cost a few frames per second you'll never notice, and work with every game instead of chasing down titles to take advantage of it and the rest suffers.

More isn't better, better is better. Compatible and simple is better.

I mention this out of vendetta because it's not technical news and makes you look like the Michelin man. Try a Tempurpedic pillow instead of something like this.

If you use a USB mic with them, you can move your dictionary file to a new computer and keep using it without having to teach it all over again.

USB ones are pure digital, not into an analog port then to digital, you lose quality and the USB ones are so cheap and common, just get a good microphone and be done with it, even the full sized ones aren't that big or heavy.

For me, if you have an SUV (and lots of people do) getting an air mattress and cooler and enduring the walk back to it to sleep the night would be much more comfortable and a lot more secure than this thing.
With most SUV's you can remove the seat rows for extra space, inflate the bed using the lighter adapter, and lock the doors at night.

If that price is per night, you can easily rent a camper for that much and really live it up.

If you want to "raise their awareness of daily health management on their own." you do it by eating right an exercise and not going for an IV drip after you feel bad.

For someone in the medical community, they could at least be honest about what they are doing, but they are not.

I suppose it's good we can't time travel. Even going back 50 or 100 years people would ask if we have flying cars by now, and we'd just have to tell them about these instead.

- There are rich people in the world, lots of them. They buy things like this, your favorite NFL team has people who own them. They are filthy, stinking rich...

- These trucks are recession proof. Marketing timing doesn't come into play for trucks like these because people who buy them are...see above point.

- The same for the mileage they get, the person owning this also has a boat that gets 1-4MPG on the open sea. If you shame people who get poor gas mileage, just fixate on the boat they also likely have until your head explodes.

When someone reaches double digit millionaire status, it's no longer about the bank account. It's about status and this is one of the things people buy to get it. It's not practical, it makes Mother Nature take one for the team, but they buy them anyway.

There should be audits of all spending like this and if it doesn't compare to fair market value for the same thing, their spending should get cut. It's a very simple way to keep this unlimited spending, where limits kick in if they are spending more than say 20 percent over prevailing market prices on anything.
The General Accounting Office is supposed to reign in this kind of thing, but they most likely don't have the authority to change things like this and they should.
