@ loose Why is filling stations a problem?? They are already have stuff we need... it's running their lights and pumps and all that... Some minor mods to their connection to the grid and most any gas station would be able to swap a petrol pump or two for elec..or add some. No, I think it's the lack of a standard connection due to the lack of the technology for batteries to accept a charge fast enough to be feasible in a stop, fill up, grab some papers&brew and GO!!!!---->
I like the idea of the stylus allowing one to write on the screen.... if that's what this means. It would def be worth the extra cash if you could use it as a notebook, throw in script to text and I'm all over this thing (or any device that does it) like flies on stink!
If several cars are talking to each other, any single conflicting message would likely be ignored and not passed through the system. The hacker would have to figure out how to produce a bunch of "phantom" cars that appear to be transmitting for several locations... but come on... hackers aren't that smart.
"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
