Back I come, Been a long time.

Depends on the model, S and RS models, moreso than regular A models or BMW's(non M cars).

That being said Mercedes and BMW M cars, are MUCH more expensive to maintain than either.

This. Is exactly why I moved to Audi. I used a to be diehard bmw fan, and the quality of the interior, and the prices of parts and everything else about them just kept getting worse and more expensive.

I had an A4 for the past 3 Years and 1 month ago picked up my s7...I could not be happier.

I have an S7, and both the 3G, 3G+ and 4G interfaces are great(type depends on year of car)

And this is why I moved to Audi's.

So what you are saying is you dont run around yelling "OPEN BOBS PLZ"....huh I guess since this newfangled interweb thing social skills must have changed.

It's called being available when you are a contract worker...pretty basic common sense. If I don't get the contract someone else will.

I absolutely text at a stop light...ONLY at a stop light and ONLY when I have a friend to tell me if the light is green.

I ignore even business calls when I am driving, I also drive a manual SPECIFICALLY to keep my attention on the vehicle, of course driving a 480hp M5 makes you pay attention or youll end up making a guardrail look like twisted re-bar faster than you can say "hi, yeah im available"

If MS Excel looked like eve, I would switch to data entry.

i tend to run through a Romanian based VPN almost exclusively for work(my own personal. I wouldn't trust an outside vps with corporate information) related activity, and i can absolutely confirm what he is saying. I've been on the phone with my vpn provider before(hes an old personal friend), and he says "OH BOY MAIL TIME, now i get to have more firewood from your american lawyers" as to which we both chuckle.

You also gave us that twat bieber.

This guy is the stereotypical Canadian. They are closer to americophobes than americophiles, and the ironic thing there is absolutely no difference between Americans and Canadians besides the geographical location, yet when i lived there for 2 and a half years, the amount of times I heard Americans called stupid was exhorbitant.

The media makes us Americans look stupid, and they lap it up just like...well pretty much every other country.

I am pro google simple because of the fact that they openly say they are using your data, its not a hidden fact, its their frickin' business model. They offer their services for free, with relatively unobtrusive advertising.

I am an anti Microsoft because of their monopolistic history, and long time locking businesses to their products.

The two are completely unrelated.

That being said....Google does tend to go too far with a few things(buzz was a big one...), but do you expect a company not to make mistakes? They are ran by humans, we are by nature imperfect or socialism would have worked.

That is EXACTLY what I thought, although closer to a bumblebee than the bumblebee.

Not sure which world you are in, but in the age where humans dont have elephant arms for holding their hands up all day every day messing with a touch screen on a desktop, it sure isnt this world where windows 8 Does suck. This is primarily a website for IT and Developers, people who make things/work for others, if you want a site that is about the average joe with his laptop, go ahead praise it all you want, but this is news for nerds, and according to nerd usage, yes, it does suck.
