Comment Re:Learn to drive. (Score 0) 601

This, this, and more this. The problem isn't the car's comfort and safety features, it's the moron behind the wheel who has no idea how to drive properly and no idea how to react in a dangerous situation. We give out drivers licenses like they're candy in this country. It's no wonder so many teens die in car wrecks... and kill other innocent drivers. They have maybe a couple of months rolling around their safe little neighborhoods with Mom or Dad in the car and no real preparation for what the road can throw at you. This article is worthless, basically. Driver education is the issue here... not car design.

Submission + - BMW Introduces GINA Concept Car, Made of Fabric (topgear.com)

smithtuna33 writes: Ever wondered what the metal skin on your car is actually good for? Engineers at BMW have decided that fabric might be just as good. The doors literally peel away from the side of the car, the engine bay opens up down the middle, and pretty much everything is hidden until the fabric reveals it. It is a stunning concept for cars down the road, and the video is well worth watching.

Comment Facebook apps = bad (Score 2, Insightful) 132

Not only are some of these apps extremely annoying, including advertisements next to games and etc, its now very common for them to use incentives (eg extra levels or whatever) to get people to invite all their friends to the application. facebook's devs addressed it in a blog post but it remains a problem. the whole system looked bad from the start, so i personally reject all applications that aren't facebook related. even so, its to the point now where i'm thinking of shutting down my account.

Submission + - Duke Nukem Forever Teaser: Not so Vaporous?

smithtuna33 writes: As of today there is a teaser up for Duke Nukem Forever at 3dRealms. And on youtube, since the site is already slow. Not much actual game-play, but still... might this game actually see the light of day after so much talk?
