Ads like this will work in the US actually - especially if they offer to take back the used vehicles at a significant portion of the original sale price. But Toyota makes the same case that I do - that lowering the use of fuel lowers the amount of emissions…

So if there is no poster, then it is legal to shoplift?

Sony should just stop trying to make dead technologies and instead focus on future stuff. Maybe they would be better at making new IP products and selling the IP rights to other companies to produce them? For whatever reason, Sony just does not seem to be able to sell their…

I have owned nearly every make and model vehicle from every manufacturer in the past 25 years. The Japanese cars are far superior to the American cars. The German cars are even better. Even Kia is better than most American cars. The big 3 automakers in the US need to…

Hmmm, the news here is that Sony is cutting 16,000 jobs, not 8,000... Which is true? Is Sony under-reporting what they are doing to the Japanese media to prevent some type of panic within Japan itself?

It is an issue of safety. They need to have the cellphones on them at all times, even in school, in class, where ever they are. And they need to be on and ready to receive any type of emergency call, and be able to make any type of emergency…

I am surprised at the negative responses to Nokia phones. I have found the Nokia cellphones to be problem free and of top quality. They are often NOT available as the "freebie" subsidized cellphones here in the US, and people often have to pay full price and buy them outright,…

So, does this mean an average human or an athletic human? An average human can put out 1/10th HP, while an athletic human can put out 1/4 HP. So what is the horsepower of the Eneloop? 1/5th HP or 1/2 HP?

For where I live in the US, an electric…

While in general I am all for the multi support of all religions, I believe that if YOU believe in something, others should accept your "Merry Christmas" and return with their own greeting - whether it be "Happy Holidays" or "Hanukkah Blessings Upon You!" or even "Blessed Be!". There is…

My question is, if he is a producer, why did he shoplift? Is this the way of life for those who are richer than others, that they believe they can just take whatever they want wherever they want? This does not make any sense.
