McLaren MP4-12C: We live in a world where $225,000 cars are considered ‘affordable’
Posted on March 21, 2010 | No CommentsWatch out, Nicholas writing about cars, there's bound to be errors! (No different from anything else, really.) It's the McLaren MP4-12C, a £150,000 ($225,000) supercar that McLaren is actually positioning as "affordable." I mean, an Xbox 360 Arcade SKU is "affordable," maybe even a fancy gaming mouse when you consider what they do... Oh, I know who would consider this supercar affordable: people who play for Manchester City.

FIOS packages strike your fancy?
Posted on January 19, 2010 | No CommentsVerizon has a bunch of new FIOS packages that may interest you. The top of the pile is the Ultimate package, which gives you "90 or more" HD channels, plus an Internet connection of 35/35, which is 35 mbps download, 35 mbps upload. The upload speed is impressive, but I still have triple the download speed. (I seriously run at 11 MB/s when downloading from Usenet. It's almost unnecessary how fast it is.) This top package is $149 per month.

Top Gear to finally be shot and produced in HD
Posted on September 23, 2009 | No Comments

James May’s Lego House has been demolished, try not to cry
Posted on September 22, 2009 | No CommentsWhat a shame. The LEGO house has been demolished just weeks after completion for James May’s other show, Toy Stories.

Posted on September 20, 2009 | No CommentsEven casual fight fans know that last night was UFC 103 and Mayweather vs. Marquez. No spoilers here, of course, but I do encourage you all to, I don't know, buy the replays or find them wherever you find things these days.
