Sounds like it's going to be expensive.

Will there be a less decked-out version for those of us that aren't rich?
Sunny is on Thursday. It's only a happy coincidence that 30 Rock, Fringe, and The Office are on the same night. If only Modern Family were Thursday night it would be perfect.

Not that it matters, I download them all anyway.
What happens to the cars that are returned? Simple sold as used? Or certified pre-owned, whatever.
@Eastman yeah I had the same response. Nowhere in the article is it stated what exactly this thing does.
I just got the Jason jokes.

Friday 13th lol
YOUR ADS ARE BETTER THAN OURS; TAKE THEM DOWN.
I'm getting pretty tired of all these Mustang and Camaro variants.
I've driven nothing but Japanese cars for 15 years. I would love to drive a wagon. And that is an ugly, ugly, overpriced vehicle.

Honda/Toyota/Nissan period are being too expensive, and they know it. Companies like Hyundai are their biggest competition, because they're using the same formula the big Japanese 3 used 30 years ago.
The end result of people like me is that advertising will become embedded in the programming in ways that you cannot possibly ignore. This already happens, of course, but producers and advertisers will find better ways of doing it.

It's called product placement.

Other ways of promoting products or services already exist. Market manipulation (release/produce news event that causes product/service to be placed in front of consumers 24/7), viral advertising (blogs like this one), embedded advertisers (person on that forum you like making slight mention of how product is super cool, has a few knocks, but is still the best available), and the good old commercial ensure that those TV programs will never, ever, go away. It's far too convenient a way to focus audiences and target consumers. Every television show you watch, particularly on ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox, is bought and produced because it targets a certain audience that an advertiser is after. They exist so that advertising may be sold.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
