I don't approve of the snowboards' images of naked women. I don't like the mudflaps and such that Alfredo mentioned either. I do have an issue with it in part because of its connotations and in part because men are rarely if ever shown that way in tv, movies, magazines, etc. Yes, they might have their shirt off, but anyone can see that on the beach or some old guy mowing his lawn. It's a whole different scenario.
I am interested in GPS. Google Maps has put me in the wrong part of town more than once lately, and not the best parts of town either. Plus my phone's web seems to be sloow anymore.
I agree with Motor Trend for its top ranking. I bought a sage green 09 Subaru Forester 2.5 X in May. I swapped my 08 Saturn Vue XE AWD with less than 4k miles (yes, 2008) that had been in the shop 8 times since November for the Forester.

I put a 66" tall cat tree in the back and still had room for a passenger in the front. I just filled up after 350 miles (15.5 gallons in a 17 gallon tank) which I think is pretty dang good for an SUV. The lowest I have ever gotten MPG is 18 and the most is 28 MPG. I typically get 24 on average around town. (I never got more than 250 miles or 17MPG city or HWY in the Vue.) I hauled a U-Haul trailer from TX to PA and never had a problem in 1,500 miles. You couldn't really even tell the trailer was there. It also has a nice get-up-and-go. Despite it's 174hp engine, it moves. This can be rather convenient on the parkway!

Before swapping the Vue I test drove a Rogue (crappy ride/handling), Mountaineer (even worse drive/handling), and a Hyundai Santa Fe (which I actually liked).

My fiance's coworker has had two Legacy cars that had 184,000 and 210,000 miles on them respectively before he traded them and the only thing he ever had to do is switch a belt on one of them. That's reliability!
Thanks. I noticed there was a Top Rentals list on the right, but whenever I clicked on those movies there still wasn't a rent button. I was thinking how in the heck did anyone rent them!?
Too closed? Gee, that sounds like Microsoft and its Internet Explorer browser and certain web pages and apps only working with IE in particular.

Oh and the Microsoft page itself only working with PCs.
You missed how you actually rent the movies. I downloaded 7.6 and looked and looked and couldn't find a rent button anywhere yesterday, just buy. Has anyone been able to rent anything?
There is no pink one on their website. Just brown and yellowish brown.
The latest in fashion wear for the professional model or hollywood star! Track your carbs, calories, fat, weight, and more all at once in real time! Comes with detachable barf bags for sleeves.
uhm...read the description again..."If receiving a call, you can tap a button to silence the phone ringer, twice to reject the call, while another button handles play/pause and track skipping on your music player."
Thank you! I'm glad someone else also knows what the deal with the logo really is!!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
