iPhone 4 dropped it five feet onto pavement with thankfully no damage. Minor drops and bumps were not so kind to the my original iPhone and 3GS (dents, scratches, and cracks).

A pretty scary plastic bag. It's dark... You just sometimes don't know, ok?

Yay?

*do math with our lives

It's worth noting that Honda is even more secretive with this data and along with Toyota uses a proprietary system as well. Not that Honda faces a global recall of 8 million vehicles, and is facing an ongoing investigation of its safety and quality over the good part of the last half-decade. Just worth adding that in for comparisons sake, and agree with the reply, that this should be regulated.

If there's good that's coming out of all of this it's the fact people get to peer into this whole process. Companies do math without lives, and the government recognizes that it has to barter with them to get them to do anything. Not where we want to be.

You may want to do some research into what it takes to extract any significant quantity of oil from oil shale. The technology is currently in its infancy, and there are worries that by the time it's where we need it we'll have reached peak oil thus negating any significant benefits to offset the cost of oil. Not to mention it would be more environmentally sound to rip out a old coal/steam powered locomotive and make a passenger vehicle out of that, because for the meager extraction of oil there is quite a cost.

Mind you I'm exaggerating, but investing in Fossil Fuels as we head towards Oil peak and decline, is the same sort of ass backwards thinking that led to the decline of American industry and our Auto industry for example. You can't invest in something that will not exist, or will not be able to survive on the market. At this rate we'll have thorium reactors in our cars sooner.

WM. With this phone, that's pretty.

That would be nice.

Insert clever comment here.

I'd really like one...
