    Google, Microsoft...the new Apple

    After all these years of doing things the wrong way, Google and Microsoft woke up one day recently and realized they were stupid...Apple had it right a long time ago. You want to build a world-changing product, you need control of BOTH the hardware and the software. Otherwise it's a mess of...

    College football 2016-17

    Today I learned the coaching salary of the three service academies: Navy coach: $2 million Army coach: $932,521 Air Force coach: $885,000 Is the Navy coach worth more than double? Well yeah, Navy scored a massive upset when they beat the #5 team this year. :teeth #1 on the list is Jim...

    Car stereo....Nav or not?

    Looking at aftermarket double DIN car stereos. I'm liking the top of the line Pioneer but keerist it's $1,000 just for the stereo, not the mention the wiring adapters needed. Seems like the smart thing is to get a car stereo that offers either Apple CarPlay or Android Play. Not for bragging...

    Mountain Dew soda is unhealthy

    I know I know...duh. Yet I was looking at the contents of sugary energy drinks awhile back, and noticed that Mt Dew kept being compared to energy drinks even though it's a soft drink. Kinda got me interested in learning more, and as I researched I realized Mt Dew is a special devil. Soda is bad...

    Wsbk 2017

    2017 is a new era, a new game. WSBK is massively improving its attraction. It's already some pretty good racing, with the strangely awful Pirelli tires that utterly disintegrate so the last 10 laps are always different than the first 10 laps. Come on Pirelli, we hate seeing weak-sauce wet-tire...

    Suicide Squad movie...loved it

    Always puzzling when people have strange critiques of comic book movies. I'm like "ummm, you know this is a comic book movie not a Stanley Kubrick movie, right?" :wtf Saw the 'Suicide Squad' flick yesterday and it was very good. Anti-heroes are interesting. These are all bad people, forced to...

    CBR250RR (twin-cylinder)

    Had no idea this bike was in the works for 2017. It harkens back to the late 1980's when Honda built a CBR250RR race-replica (that one was actually a four-cylinder, can you say four tiny pistons?). This new bike is a twin-cylinder 250 with inverted forks, lots of LED lights. Pretty cool...

    Do you care about pollution from autos/bikes?

    It's been amazing to witness the increase in efficiency of auto engines. I remember in the '80s my mom would turn off and remove the key in her Chevy car and yet the engine would continue to clunk and burble for another 5-10 seconds, with a horrible stench from the exhaust pipe. Compare that...

    Arcades with old-school games?

    Any arcades in the bay that specialize in really old classic video games using the original arcade cabinet? Pac-Man, Defender, Space Invaders, Phoenix, Gorf, Gauntlet, Pole Position, Altered Beast, Gladiator, Punch-Out etc etc? Think there were some old games at Dave & Busters in Milpitas, and...
