Probably not... otherwise it'd be much more "well-known"

I've found that this kind is very common; a company will build a good reputation on high-quality products and then slowly lower the quality to make more profit. It's a bad deal for consumers.

You do have a good point there about clones... but is pop-cap sue-happy like King?

Candy Crush Saga wasn't enough of a clone, apparently. They had the revolutionary idea to use "gems" this time! I really hope that they finally face legal karma as a result of releasing this one.

Oh, I didn't say/mean that it had to be a quadrocopter/multi-rotor vehicle... I was just saying that it'd be a pretty large vehicle. While it's a cool idea, I suspect that a lot of people would be very wary of somet

That would be a major shame since there are AC power inverters that run off of 12V ports in cars. Some people rely on those for different reasons. For example, it's a really nice way to recharge a laptop while traveling.

...so basically we're at the "robot butler" stage of Cylon development? That thing seems a lot like the common household robot in the (new) Battlestar Galactica pre-series "Blood & Chrome".

In this case, it was a Ford Escape. It has proximity sensors all around -- it'll also tell you when someone is in your blind spot in a neighboring lane.

You must have a magical car that has absolutely no blind spots! Which one is it? I'd like to consider purchasing one as my next car. My current car will give warnings if it sees cross traffic approaching when in reverse. It has warned

I wish that everyone would switch to the YYYY-MM-DD ISO 8601 standard... It sorts nicely and there would never be any question about whether it's "January 5" or "May 1"!

I use voice control for one thing: to send text messages while driving. It's a lot safer to say "text bob i will be there in fifteen minutes" then "send" than to try to type while driving. It's also (understand

Their answer is to "color over it", but BE CAREFUL if you do that. I'm sure that some of us remember the US government document(s) in the late 90s/early 2000s that were released in redacted form, but the person didn'
