Because the looks I'd get from stuffy middle aged Orange County-ers would be awesome. I'd enjoy every inch of the 1000 feet I'd go before being pulled over after someone called in my license plate.

Because this level of paranoia makes you chuckle. Everyone should have one.

Because this level of excessiveness is directly proportional to its awesomeness. Also cause I'm into car audio and read about it before. 00 awg speaker wire!

Just because they were too awesome, 2007:

LoL, the video speaks for itself.

Because it's what I've always wanted. Cept they need a cleaning attachment on the end too.
Countless locations in the Yunnan province of China...
Cox Cable, and they stink. Service reliability is absolutely horrible.
Enter the Dragon HD DVD!
I wasn't really that impressed with the other games my roommate got, but when he bought Saints Row, I was wowed. I think it's because it's so jaw-droppingly devious. haha! It'd be nice to have my own system though since his is in his room...
Can I have #8?

I bought a Nokia 3230 from the UK a while ago, and it was Orange branded, which meant that it had the lousy Orange homescreen as well. After fumbling with the horrible interface and dealing with multiple crashes a day, bad bluetooth connectivity and disabled voicetags, all caused by the homescreen, I tried to find a way to get the phone flashed with the default Nokia firmware. I couldn't find anywhere that had the firmware for it since it was a UK phone. So, I've been using my old 6230 for about 8 months. The 6230 started messing up on me and has a hard time finding the T-Mobile network, and I always have to manually select it. Missed phone calls, texts, voicemails... So I decided to try finding a solution for my 3230 again. Thankfully, people found a way to flash their own phones from home. I bought a data cable, spent about 35 hours trying to flash the phone before the data cable stopped working. Now I want to kill Orange for putting the homescreen on there in the first place (what's wrong with the Nokia GUI that they spent $$$$ on R&D on?), I want to blow up my 3230 w/ some M80s, and I want to run over my 6230 w/ my car for always greeting me with "Please select an operator." I guess I want the phone because I want redemption from Orange. Hahah
The one to benefit the most from that group is Orange. Their homescreen that they add onto Nokias is freaking ridiculous. It's unstable, and not as useful as Nokia's GUI, which Nokia spent $$$$$ on developing. The Orange homescreen, on the other hand, seems like something some comp sci major made during the weekend. I hope Cingular takes nothing from Orange.

Is the treo just frosting? or is it an actual cake?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
