Heroic Engineer Crashes Own Vehicle To Save a Life 486

Posted by kdawson from the delta-vee dept.
scottbomb sends in this feel-good story of an engineer-hero, calling it "one of the coolest stories I've read in a long time." "A manager of Boeing's F22 fighter-jet program, Innes dodged the truck, then looked back to see that the driver was slumped over the wheel. He knew a busy intersection was just ahead, and he had to act fast. Without consulting the passengers in his minivan — 'there was no time to take a vote' — Innes kicked into engineer mode. 'Basic physics: If I could get in front of him and let him hit me, the delta difference in speed would just be a few miles an hour, and we could slow down together,' Innes explained."

Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty Black Ops Edition 102

Posted by samzenpus from the put-down-the-controller dept.
gadgetking writes "When I first saw this I thought it was a joke — the Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty: Black Ops Edition. Seriously? I mean I like my COD first person shooter game as much as the next nerd but this really shows how mainstream video games have become. From the article: 'The Jeep brand today announced it has been named exclusive automotive partner by Activision for Call of Duty: Black Ops, and that they're making a COD Jeep. Hitting show floors next month, this limited-edition Jeep Wrangler will be available for a MSRP of $30,625 for the two-door model and $33,500 for the four-door. The 2011 Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty: Black Ops Edition comes standard with "aggressive 32-inch tires, unique military style and Call of Duty graphics."'"

I think this is a great idea for most business owners on the go as most people travel like crazy these days and business never sleeps so this is a handy tool for the I pad indeed. Google knows that this i pad will revolutionize the entire web and make everything easily accessable for everyone so why not implement all the necessary tools?

I believe this may drive people crazy as most people use facebook as part of their daily lives. I remember when none of the social media sites existed, people were less socially disconnected from each other in a face to face environment. This definitely will be interesting as I would love to see the results. http://bmaparts.com/
