@Funke: Ok if where going to go down that route, then that would make piezoelectric roads even better for MPG. As they are hard and are smoother than asphalt..

I don't see how this is a complicated engineering feat that would require patents...

Step 1: Create cylinder shaped glass with round bottom.
Step 2: Insert fully assembled CFL light inside tube.
Step 3: Heat open top of glass cylinder and bend it inward so the whole piece becomes shaped like a lightbulb.
Step 4: Solder the leads and place the screw cap on.
Step 5: ????..Oh wait.. Yeah. PROFIT!

@Funke:

What increased resistance? It would be almost like normal road you drive over. The amount of movement a piezoelectric would need isn't much. It's harnessing gravity as the car rolls over, it's not harnessing the cars power. Just the power exerted from gravity pulling the car down on the piezoelectric pad.

The energy wasted in the car is used to move the car along the road, which it already does, piezoelectric road or not. The car doesn't use more energy to move over one solid surface than another. There's just no system in place to capture the gravitational force, force exerted by the spinning tires and momentum of the car exerted by cars on the pavement.

Well the Archos 5/7 have the best codec compatibility out of the current devices on the market. These things are made for media.

And what's so bad about internet browsing? It's an inevitably thing with technology, more and more things will be connected to the internet. It's just a nice thing to have in your gadget, whatever it may be.

I don't think Sony has to much money.. I think they could use some more cash flow in, what with the massive loss of money due to battery failures and the loosing money on each PS3 console just to get people to afford them.

Plus they are a company that actually tries to push technology instead of sitting back and being greedy.

I just wish they never stopped working on their beyond belief awesome Qrio robot. (Or perhaps they still are in secret, who knows. Last I heard they were going to sell the technology and rights to Toshiba.)

All it should take is a software update of the cars internal electronics.

Lol, did anyone else watch it to the end?

They put a Sarah Palin look a like in the end XD

Does no one else find it oddly funny that a internet research company is named "Pew" ?

Cause I sure do... lol..


PEW PEW!

@Kurian:

WRONG!

The GTX 280 is actually better than the 9800GX2. You obviously haven't read as many reviews and news as you say.



Now onto the matter of this Tesla card..

They are sort of a waste of money. Because it's not better hardware, just better software. Your paying for special drivers that make it work better for 3d modeling programs and the such. This can be seen with older versions where people were able to take the firmware from the Tesla's and put them on GeForce cards. Bringing pretty much the same performance gains in programs.
