How is a FWD Camry chassis going to be made into a MR Roadster chassis? That won't fit nor does it make sense.
Toyota has been showing off and running a hybrid MR2 replacement recently, which is probably closer to reality. However, Tesla and Toyota have already said they are going be developing new future platforms together.
The thing about a pure-EV is that you don't have to develop a car for a specific engine configuration, you only need space for the battery and motors; you can develop a completely flat platform (think skateboard platform like GM's hydrogen hy-wire). The likelihood is that Tesla will be using a completely new platform which they will develop with Toyota that will also be used in other Tesla vehicles- and completely lack an engine bay.
Another $50 and you can get an 360 Arcade or Wii that comes with Wii Sports Resort. Also, while we don't know how much the Nintendo 3DS is going to cost, the DS launched at $150, and the 3DS shouldn't be much more. It turns out you can buy a lot of things for $150.
Sony learned their lesson with the PS2 and PS3 with third-parties. Same lesson Nintendo learned.
Third-party titles aren't their own. There is nothing to stop Mass Effect 4 or Gears or War 4 to become exclusive to the PS4.
First-party titles will always be their own. Halo will alway be MSs, Grand Turismo Sony's, Mario Nintendos.
If you are going to spend millions of dollars of exclusivity of a third-party title, that same money might be better spent making a God of War, Heavy Rain or Uncharted.
Sounds to me he basically having issues with cruise control. Or doesn't know how to use it.
He's nudging the cruise control lever over and over again, and the Prius isn't able to get up to his desired speed quickly enough (understandable if you're going 80+ mph in a Prius), so he keeps pressing it "again and again" in his words.
Obviously something as underpowered as a Prius is not going to suddenly jump to 97mph from 80mph in an instant, it seems to me that time it takes for the Prius to meet his speed expectations on an 85mph highway he has has hit the speed up lever a bunch of times.
So eventually the Prius is doing 97 mph because he nudged up the speed lever on the cruise control "again and again" and "ten times more."
Of course even with that all he has to do is disengage cruise control, by lightly touching the brakes.

Kinect for Xbox 360 now listed for $150... at Microsoft's own online store
Jun 21st 2010 11:47PM (Engadget)Er... most people get their iPhone under contract like any other phone. I paid $99 for mine- which is cheaper then this Kinect.
Also, a smartphone is a lot more useful and part of your daily lives then some half-baked peripheral without any good games.

... and $150 is just for a peripheral after all.

Sony's Dyer emphasizes first-party PS3 strength over third-party exclusives

Third-party exclusives are a waste of money.
