Rejoice, surfers! Bing it up with free WiFi access across the US {Download Squad}
Nov 11th 2009 1:38AM I'd use Bing even if Microsoft weren't paying for my Internet. It's superior to Google in most ways. (Google's spartan presentation helps, but that's about it.)
Funny Car Commercial of the Day: Serious automotive testing {Autoblog}
Nov 10th 2009 10:59PM JustGuessing is on the right track, but it's more than just "affiliated."
Autoblog is a member of Weblogs, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL LLC, which itself is a managed by TimeWarner as an independent holding. (TimeWarner owns AOL with limited liability by not having it directly bankrolled into the corporate bottom line.)
TimeWarner owns TBS, and TBS owns veryfunnads.com

First Look: Bugatti 16C Galibier Concept {Autoblog}
Nov 10th 2009 2:41AM That's just it, though! Bugatti's design language is cohesive and hearkens back to a lot of earlier designs, as you can see by comparing both this and the Veyron to the Type 57. But the thing is...I hate the Veyron in looks. Everything about it is exaggerated, bulbous. I know the Audi R8 is newer, so the comparison doesn't really hold, but when I look at the Veyron, all I can see is the silhouette of an R8 and someone just went to the fenders and made everything bulge and it looks like a blimp...
This, though...this! This is beautiful. Everything works in the sedan. I would never buy a Veyron (not that I have the money), but I would totally buy this (even without the money). It's ostentatious, but that's mostly the mirror finish aluminum...in reality, it's flowing, consistent and just plain classy.
FCC keen on commandeering TV spectrum for wireless broadband {Engadget}
Oct 28th 2009 2:53PM Because then all it takes is a software hack or glitch on either hand to start taking on other's transmissions; because then we'd have a bunch of data flying around in the same block, causing interference...
Bad idea.
Nintendo DSi with larger screens coming this year to Japan? {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 12:14AM Bring back the GameBoy slot or GTFO, Nintendo. Keep your camera; I'll keep my DS Lite.
VIDEO: Volvo gives sneak preview of new S60 sedan... to a blind artist {Autoblog}
Oct 27th 2009 12:11AM I've liked Volvo's styling for the last 8 years or so. Ford did some nice things with the last generation. The updates (like the new XC60) I actually like less. Too..."swoopy." Very organic.
Funny Car Commercial of the Day - Meet the dogfish {Autoblog}
Oct 21st 2009 5:36PM That is not "funny car commercial" of any day. That thing is [expletive deleted] creepy. Terrifying.
Kia Cadenza unveiled in Korea, ready to replace Amanti [w/VIDEO] {Autoblog}
Oct 19th 2009 1:57AM An Amanti replacement is by definition too big for my tastes, but this looks good. Very clean, well-proportioned...and despite the low luxury target of the Amanti, fits really well with Kia's newly discovered brand aesthetic. Very cohesive.

You taking notes re: Zune and Xbox? 'Cause you should be.
Americans' paying $1,354 health care 'tax' every second for uninsured {BloggingStocks}
Oct 10th 2009 7:49PM Families USA is hardly non-partisan. Their board of directors include members of the SEIU, GLAAD, the National Immigration Forum, Common Cause (which is headed by a former Democratic Congressman), CCMC (which is dedicated to helping non-profits use media to affect governmental policy change...policies like, I dunno, health care), and PSI Family Services (think ACORN partnered with DSHS). Sure, they're not sponsors of (on paper) either party, but I'd hardly call those sorts of agendas and agencies--SEIU, GLAAD, NIF are all left of center, if not far left--centrist. You've bought the lie that Pelosi is trying to sell you. Good research.
Tort reform is the way to go, but it's better to bleed the American taxpayer dry and destroy the competition already taking place in the free insurance market.
