The white one is beautiful. The red and yellow ones are ugly. Anyone know where to get more angles of this car?
As the owner of an 2006 E55 (mine) and a C300 (my wife's), I will say that the quality and reliability of our vehicles is top-notch. The build quality is great also! I formerly owned a 2004 BMW 760Li and will NEVER own another BMW! In fact, I am looking at a CL65 as a write this, as the E55 is a little too small for us with a child on the way...
Here's the thing that gets me... No matter what Apple does, in most of the anti-Apple peoples' eyes who post on this site, Apple can never win... iTunes is software that is designed for the sole purpose of syncing a person's music/photos/apps/contacts with their iPod/iPhone. Plain and simple. If the role was reversed and Apple was trying to make the iPhone sync with software designed specifically for the Palm Pre, I would pretty much would bet everything that Palm would try to disable this syncing, and even worse, the anti-Apple people would be bashing Apple for how bad they were... If I was the owner of Apple, I would do exactly what Apple is doing, and I bet if most people took their love/hate for Apple out of the equation, they would do the same thing. As a business owner myself, I don't want my business's name to be associated with another person's product/name unless I endorse it. Apple is merely doing the same thing. And by Apple allowing the Palm Pre to sync with iTunes, in essence they are saying that they support the Palm Pre...
So by your comment, then because I own a Bugatti Veyron, I deserve to have my privacy taken away??? Just because someone is successful and chooses to "flaunt their money," does not mean they aren't entitled privacy!
I have never seen any untouched photos of her; however, I am sure you are correct. This is the case for most of the celebrities and for magazines like Playboy, Hustler, etc. I have a friend that used to work as a "touch-up" airbrush artist for Playboy. I got to see a lot of the untouched photos and the difference is amazing!
"The Performance Stage 3, starting at 10,490 Euros, increases power output from standard 620 hp / 456.3 kW to 660 hp / 485.7 kW without any alterations to the engine's inner workings." is clearly listed in the press release. And just because someone asks about the price, does not mean they can't afford it...
That is a pretty generalized statement that nurses have a "relatively superficial understanding of physiological and biochemical processes!!!" I will admit that this is the case for some nurses, but not for every nurse. Personally, I have taken many histology and advanced level pathophysiology, biochemistry, and organic chemistry classes, as have many other nurses in the CTICU that I work in... I am not denying that physicians have more schooling than myself, or most nurses for that matter; however, to generalize like this is not acceptable. Trust me, I have saved many a physician's asses before when they are rotating on our unit!!! And, you are right, we cannot diagnose, because as an RN, it is not in our scope of practice; however, I have suggested many diagnoses that have turned out to be correct, even when an experienced physician was the client's attending...

Now, on to the comment about "Doctors nowadays seem to be so reliant on technology they've lost the "clinical eye"." Please keep in mind that personally, I purchased my Littmann because I have difficulty hearing and this stethescope has ANR and amplification; therefore, I can hear sounds that I might not normally pick up (I have done many comparisons between my 4100WS and Master Cardiology and I can ALWAYS hear better with the 4100WS). Plus I can record these sounds and play them back later and use them as educational purposes... But I'm just a nurse, so what do I know about heart or lung sounds???
Littmann has had electronic stethoscopes that has ANR, amplification, and records for quite a while now... I have had my Littmann 4100WS for well over a year now... It looks like the only difference between the one that I have and the one Engadget is reporting on is the fact that this transmits via Bluetooth instead of IrDA, as mine does... I must say that I like the new display. Hopefully Littmann comes up with software for the iPhone! For more information on the new model, go to http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Littmann_3100_3200/stethoscope/#Model3200

After a brief overview of the site, it looks as though what was the 4100WS model has now become the 3200 model...
Let's see... He is 56 years old now (Wikipedia lists his birthday a 2/9/53). Let's say he lives until he is 85... That's 29 years. 8.2 million divided by 29 is 282,758. Add in the 74,030 per year and it's 356,788 per year. Although it is more than most Americans earn per year, it really isn't that much...
Anyone know what the black car in photo #6 is?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
