Information about the car is what CONSUMERS want. Google is asking for it because we are asking for it.

The 14 tested are listed, but not the ones that are leaking data? Why list one and not the other?

Ha, I've been thinking of exactly this since the Lightsail project started.

And would be so ridiculously dangerous, you would have a death every other race. Drivers couldn't cope with the G-forces the cars could produce and crashes would be nearly always fatal.

Don't believe me? Look at F1 in the before the mid-90's. Even with a fairly restrictive ruleset, those cars were too fast with too little safety.

Anyone who thinks "any innovation packed its bags" referring to F1 obviously has not followed a season of racing. F1 greatly rewards the engineers who come up with innovative designs within the ruleset. Just look at Mercedes' split turbocharger design (which is now being adapted to road cars because it works so well).

Except when an entire password database is stolen by hackers. Then, dictionary attacks are used first. That is the exact time you want a good password: Make the dictionary attack fail and brute-force the only option.

Remember, most hack attempts don't get reported until the account information starts being used or sold.

Ummm....
The Lexus LFA is as Japanese as a car can come now-a-days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...

Have you even watched Richard Hammonds stand-alone shows? I love what he does on Top Gear, but not on his own.

Over the years I've refused to give retailers my information. Hopefully I won't have to be proven right.

Depends on which method you use: SMS based, yes. Google Authenticator (well, they already have access to your phone), no. Yubikey, no.

No. There is a certain point when all works (music, movies, inventions, etc) should become public domain.

Why? Because if what you're saying is true, we'd all be paying Leonardo da Vinci's kin licensing fees to using ball bearings, or Jack Kilby/Robert Noyce's kin for every piece of modern electronics or some random cave man's family for the use of fire.

Look at Z-Wave or Zigbee. All of the new stuff is bidirectional. (Philips Hue is Zigbee, by the way)

Speak for yourself. Moto360 has been a AMAZING icebreaker the last 3 months.

Sadly, it's not.

I do. $2500 sporty cars that are 10 years old (good luck finding one, by the way) make excellent track cars: Still new enough to get factory parts, but old enough where they can be replaced easily/cheaply if wrecked.

Exactly! How else could they charge for a fast lane if the connection is horrendously slow?
