but the author actually did his homework and seems pretty reasonable. Wouldn't kill Tesla to put a little more space between the pedals in the future. Retrofitting would be a nightmare, but hardly seems necessary.

...got a poor performance review.

If "Maths" is plural, shouldn't that be "In the rest of the world they are called Maths"? Ipso facto: Math.

I have no doubt that he can be quite harsh when the situation calls for it. Part of being a CEO is bringing down the hammer. A lot of them don't know when to turn that off, I give Ballmer some credit for not being one of them.

in the early 90s, and I'd rate him as one of the nicer executives I've dealt with. I spent about half an hour with him setting up equipment for a meeting, he was quite friendly and unpretentious. I have a friend who's related to him by marriage, and likes him well enough, though he doesn't know him well.

Oh please. I know 200+ pound guys who were bombing on mountain bikes before disks were invented, they survived just fine with cantilevers. A decent steel frame doesn't weigh much more than aluminum or carbon fiber, maybe a couple pounds, plus another 10-20 pounds for the battery and motor.

Not saying disks are a bad idea, but no, an electric bike isn't so heavy that it just can't be stopped without them.

I bought Skyrim at release and had few crashes. On the other hand, got halfway through Witcher and had to quit, kept crashing at the same point even when I played my saved game on a different system. YMMV, I suppose.

And yes, those portals are damn annoying!

Just bought DS on Steam, did not realize is use GFWL (may it burn in hell). Crap.

Loved the Twin Peaks vibe, combat is different in a mostly good way, and it's scary/creepy enough. Just about to start BioShock Infinite.

This. I've been using MS since DOS 2.0, and even with Google's help navigating Win8 is a huge pain. If it weren't MS, it would be hard to believe an industry leader could cock up anything this bad. There's always the fear that a new MS product will suck, but Win8 really raised the Bar of Fail.

one party is working very hard to save money by cutting back on enforcement of regulations. One guess as to which one.

...is a pain, and not at all uncommon. Frankly, I do see advantages to using a base-12 measuring system, but sometimes metric makes more sense.

http://www.marieclaire.com/sex... Sounds kinda jerky. Steve Jobs was a jerk too, but I like a lot of his products. As far as his main motive, I'm curious as to how you think you know what motivates him.

Let's see...Norway has a crappy grid that's giving Teslas problems, it's cold in Norway, so let's title this "Teslas Having Issues Charging in the Cold". Journalistic ethics, how do they work?

Look, I think Elon Musk is a jerk, I'll probably never own a Tesla, but the Tesla-bashing hype is getting old. And stupid.

Maybe I'm kinda dumb, but since no one is touting how the hybrid tech provides any competitive advantage to Nissan's racer, I'm skeptical. Maybe it helps them skip a pit stop, but since none of the links mentions anything along those lines, I'm guessing not.

I'm not saying Nissan shouldn't do this, with the Leaf they're heavily invested in EVs and this is great PR, but let's not pretend that in two years EVs will be dominating the racing world.
