    The $12 Mr Coffee from Walmart has lasted 3 years at work, making 36 cups a day. It has an on/off switch, that is it....when it dies, we will replace it, with one that invariably be priced $11.50

    My cheapo coffee maker generally had a timer so it'll turn on and have me a fresh pot brewed just before my alarm goes off. So long as I have to do all of the other prep work to actually enable its coffee sorcery, voice commands are stoopid.

    @Sticks Calhoun: It looks like it is tea, actually, which could explain the lack of understanding of the whole coffee concept. Or perhaps it really is just a clock that is shaped like a coffee maker?

    seems extremely distracting and hard to concentrate on the actual work when there are bright colors that are overlaid (and dont properly match up)

    Wouldn't it be more practical just to make their cars easier to work on?

    Silly question, I know.

    @Lizard_King: want a simple car to work on? Buy a 30 year old car with carbs and all mechanical parts.

    Want a car that is reliable, has good power AND good fuel economy, modern safety features, electronic steering etc? Buy a new car and expect them to be complicated.

    I have a 1971 mgb. While it is dead simple to work on and fun as hell to drive, there are trade offs like having to adjust the timing, tune the carbs, replace the points, etc.

    @ColonelGentleman: You can certainly pick and choose... good and reliable does not mean complicated. You bring up reliable - a Jeep Cherokee with Manual transmission - simple, reliable, fairly modern (no carbs or points). Compare that to a newer X5, I'm sure at this point most would take the Cherokee. Why these examples? It's what my wife and I have. 200K on the jeep odo says I'm ahead in the game.

    I can work on SU carbs with my eyes closed, and do all my work on all my vehicles myself - except the BMW. BMW makes that needlessly complex. I love the little things with their cars, like how the dash display gradually lose pixels until you can't read anything, or the lock actuators need replacement more often than tires.

    @Lizard_King: Your jeep may be more reliable than the BMW, but if you had gotten, say, a Mercedes G500, that would far outrun the Cherokee. Not only is mercedes a better car, models like the G500 are made to go across continents off road.

    @cruzer555: I am questioning complexity in certain automobiles. Cars do not need to be complex to be reliable. In the case of the two examples, differing by only two years, the BMW fails at longevity, reliability and simplicity. The two examples are brought up because it is what I own, I don't claim to have the best vehicles in the world, but a G-Wagon and a Cherokee are separated by a lot of coin.

    There are very few vehicles which I would purchase brand new, and the purchasing factors for me include self-maintenance. Any out-of-warranty repair with any vehicle is done by me. This is not a concern for most folks who trade up every 4 years, but I keep my vehicles til they die.

    I've been waiting for this technology ever since it was first mentioned in Michael Crichton's Airframe over a decade ago.

    As usual, Mike was right on the money predicting future tech.

    Geek Squad approach to working on cars. Hire idiots and make them follow EXACT procedures.

    When you work on anything long enough, you can memorize workflow, tools needed, screw/bolt sizes, and preventative maintenance. A skilled tech can do these things with their eyes closed.
