OMG, I beat the trolls to this? Let me be first to say 'Good News!'.

Looks cool! I'm in.

@Plazmic Flame Of course not! Sucks.

Just a comment? That's it? Done!

Ha, I thought that too and haven't read the site for two weeks since the Saab deal was announced and all the trolls took over the comments. Maybe he got a job, or laid. Or is sleeping in. In his parents basement.

Do you read anything? SAAB have no debt, which is one of the reasons bidders were interested. They have a two new vehicles already developed and have started producing them. You don't have to go any further than the site you're trolling to read about either: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/25/saab-9-5-and-9-4x-in-low-volume-production/

And they've already started work on a new 9-3, so they won't be rebadging anything. If you had any idea, you'd have a job where you wrote this much about cars, but instead you're on this site typing the same boring essay over and over.

STFU. If you knew as much as you think you do, you'd be too busy to be trolling this site all the time.

You're all underestimating the importance of management and independence. Spyker managed to get this deal done when everyone said it'd never happen.

People will pay for good design -- just look at the money Apple is raking in. I have my first Saab and my next car will be a Saab. I get it and like how SAAB does things and so do a lot of people. You don't have to like it or agree and you can name-drop platform code-names all day long, but in the end it's the public and their spending who decides who wins. And I know they don't care what platform their new 9-5 is built on as long as it looks good, drives well and is reliable. Well, the new 9-5 looks good, from what I've read from accounts of people who have driven it, it drives well and time will only tell how reliable it is. With all the SAABs I see on the road, which are quite a few and never a spot of rust on them, I'd have to say they're pretty damn reliable.

WOW. They held a press conference for that?

This was the only type of gadget featured in this section that I've ever wanted.
Would be useful when disassembling something (like when you're hacking your AppleTV), working outside (running cable for your new DSL setup to the demarcation point) or wiring something that requires you to have to have the power off (outlet or dimmers) and there's not enough natural light.
I vote that this one be taken off the list 'cause it's not even in the ballpark of those other pieces of crap.

Forget mobile, Flash isn't viable on anything portable. Every time I watch a Flash video on my 13" Unibody MacBook, it heats up so much, I can barely hear the audio over the fans. I just wiped and reinstalled Snow Leopard and tried to keep my setup minimal and not add anything that wasn't absolutely necessary, but only lasted half an hour before installing Click To Flash to stop Flash from loading in Safari at all. Having Click To Flash play the same content in Quicktime, there's no strain at all.

Every time I look at Activity Monitor, sorted for %CPU, Flash Player is always in the top three. Even when no video is playing and the browser is hidden.

It's ridiculous that this machine can run Office Apps within Windows XP, within VMWare, but playing a little Flash movie has it overheating.
