Surprised I haven't seen any hype thread here in the sink yet. Maybe some is in the Samsung lawsuit thread. But we're just a few hours away from millions around the world having a simultaneous nerdgasm with the announcement of Apple's 6th generation iPhone...or "iPhone 5" as it's being called...

Thought this would make an interesting topic. So most of the time when we think of someone, it's usually by what they do for a living. "Oh yeah, Rob the mechanic...that guy" or something like that. But what if we remove the occupational association? Since many if not all of them are all in...

Not too often you hear of a five alarm fire in Santa Clara. Mercury News Story Aaaaaaand all this happened 200ft from my front door. Probably 10 (future) homes destroyed and at least half a dozen vehicles. Might be more but won't know till morning.

Now that I've been here for pretty much a decade, I've seen quite a bit. And like any group of people, there's a bit of some inside jokes that are thrown around casually. So I get a lot of it when I see it. And it occurred to me that what if I had just signed up a few months ago and was...

Ok thread started a little early, but maybe there's some folks that already have gifts opened for that Jewish thing. Otherwise just a placeholder for tomorrow.

"Black Friday" used to just be a street name for this day. Or maybe something some newscaster would use air quotes when saying. Now every other tv commercial I saw this week was the retailers just flat out saying Black Friday Sale. Only a couple still stuck with the old guard and said "Day...

Yes. It is. Oh yessssssss. And if you wanna come and say how you stopped eating McDonalds way back and don't understand how people can eat that garbage...save it. Have fun living to be 90. I'll be happy to die at 60 with a McRib in each hand.

WARNING-----if you got a weak stomach, maybe not scroll down. So I twisted the ever-loving shit out of my ankle Saturday night. Apparently I tore some ligaments in my ankle (bad sprain) and did a little multiple fracture job on my fibula. Yay! My first broken bone evar. Going in for...

And it drove in too! Those of you who know car parts will easily say WTF. Those of you that don't...just know that shit ain't supposed to look like this. Anyone else with some gnarly pics feel free to add on. From a clutch job we've got in the shop today... From a very poor running...

Lord Vader, er...Steve Jobs, popped in the Cupertino City Council meeting last night to drop a big anouncement. A brand new ridiculously massive campus to be their new world HQ. It's a four story giagantic ring shaped building. Mostly underground parking, electric power self provided (with...

I was taking an alternate route home today, and saw a bunch of tents, cones, and a buttload of new cars in the GA parking lots. So I jumped right on teh intraweb and found out what the hell was going on. General Motors did this several years ago here in the Great America parking lots and it...

So how come I can't take more than a thimble full of shampoo in my carry on, have to take my shoes off, and always get stuck behind the guy who uses like four trays going through the checkpoint? Yet any asshole who's sick that apparently isn't taking more than 2.5oz of nerve agent on or has a...

I could swear there was a thread abou this years ago, but I couldn't find it. So, for a few years now I think it's been getting to be a pain in the ass to dig my phone out of my pocket to see what time it is. So I want a watch. Now I've had Casios before with 15 million timers and so on, but...

Here's the short version. I work at a dealership. The dealership uses this ancient program made by Reynolds & Reynolds. I could have been "isssued" a comp, but I chose to just buy my own (they would have sold me a two year old Dell for $1k otherwise). So I buy a fairly no frills computer...

I got my GF an iPad a couple weeks ago. The wifi only version. We figured that's all we needed since we have a witless router at home and she'd been using it with her work laptop which is on 802.11g, though it's been kinda off/on using it in the bedroom. And that location is the furthest away...

So Lord Vader made the anouncement today. Available in less than 3 weeks. New OS available right now for older models. Won't bother listing all the new bells and whistles. Just go look for yourself on Apple's site. I've been hanging on to my old 2G long enough. Who else is upgrading?

Anyone in BARFland have one of these. I know there's a huge VW crowd so maybe someone has a Q5 at least. Anyways, this ain't for me. This is for my girlfriend. But since I am the great all knowing car guy, I am expected to know everything about these vehicles. I know enough to sound like I...

Thought about just adding this news to this thread but this is so huge that I just had to have this stand alone with its own thread. I was just cruising through my local (Rivermark) Safeway yesterday and caught an image out of my periph that I hadn't seen in many years. It was a big stack of...

Just heard that the morning show (Fernando and Greg) of the old 92.7 will be coming to Movin' 99.7 on Thursday the 12th. This is good news. Even better for me since I couldn't really pick up 92.7 until I drove about 10 miles North of the south bay. But 99.7 comes in just fine. And I think...
