Quake shaking up Japanese car production

Quake forces Toyota to halt production - Yahoo! News: "The temporary closure of auto parts maker Riken Corp.'s plant at Kashiwazaki city, near the epicenter of Monday's magnitude 6.8 quake, has forced Toyota, Nissan Motor Co. Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and Fuji Heavy Industries to scale back production."
Fuji Heavy Industries makes Subaru. Damn! This'll probably hike prices up somehow.

GrandCentral: The New Way to Use Your Phones

GrandCentral: The New Way to Use Your Phones
This one's kinda big. Grandcentral give you one phone number that rings all of your phone: home, work, and cell. Some of it's services include:

Never miss a call you want to take, never take a call you want to miss
-Have one phone number you can keep for life
-Choose which of you phones ring, even by group or caller
-Screen callers and ListenIn before accepting the call
-Protect your privacy by blocking annoying or uninvited callers

Check out the link to see even more features. They have way to access everything from mobile phones, so I'm sure there will be mobile functionality that some fruity phones don't even have yet. Service has temporarily been shifted to a beta invite only, but when it's ready I'm sure it will be available to all of us in it's googly free form. Gotta love'em.

More Decisions...

Any suggestions? This one is going to be sooner. Factors considered: mpg, hp/wt, can it fit everyone(2 adults, 2 carseats(arghhh), 2 dogs...I know that some of the cars can't), is it the hotness(for one reason or the other)?, price (trying to keep it sub 30k)
Very Green, 50-ish mpg, small (but roomy for size), will fit all 4 and a poog (probably not a bullmastiff)
Honda Ridgeline, nice and big, we already have a pick up and a Landcruiser, 16/21 mpg
2008 Subaru WRX, new hatchback, 224 hp (but less weight), not the STi
Honda Element SC, 28 mpg, 4 seats (not 5), roomy, only 2wd

These guys have designed a photo voltaic panel that fits perfectly with the roof line of the Toyota Prius. It allows the Prius to operate in electric mode up to 20 miles per day adding up to 29% in fuel economy.

The system costs $2000-$4000 and the payback time is said to be 2-3 years...To date, the company has manufactured nearly 100 of the kits to individual buyers. “Four dollars is the break-even point for these kits,” Johanson said. “Then it pays for itself in two years..."

Ceiling height can affect how a person thinks, feels and acts

"When a person is in a space with a 10-foot ceiling, they will tend to think more freely, more abstractly,” said Meyers-Levy. “They might process more abstract connections between objects in a room, whereas a person in a room with an 8-foot ceiling will be more likely to focus on specifics."

Apparently in Bill's demented world, criticizing the actions of President Bush in explicitly violating international law — something Col. Wright spent years teaching — constitutes "blaming" America.

Happy Birthday to Me

Apple - iPod nano - (PRODUCT) RED™
Two days ago, I saved Africa. What did you do?

"You make choices every day, from the clothes you wear to the music you play. Now making a choice means making a difference. In 4GB and 8GB models¹, the iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED holds up to 2,000 songs, 25,000 photos², and a little hope. That’s because $10 from every iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED sold goes directly to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa. Which means your iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED sounds good and does good at the same time."

My choice made a difference, bitches!

National Geographic Talk Abroad Travel Phone

"The National Geographic Talk Abroad Travel Phone is the ideal solution for your international communication needs. Whether you are a frequent business traveler or are a tourist seeking a reliable yet affordable cell phone solution, the National Geographic™ Talk Abroad Travel Phone has you covered in over 100 countries. Since this is a prepaid solution, there are no contracts to sign or monthly bills – ever! Best of all, there is absolutely no cost to receive a call in 60 popular destinations. Outgoing calls are affordable as well."

The cons are: it's an old monochrome candybar nokia, the outgoing rate is something like 90 cents a minute, and a UK phone number. But if you travel a lot (which I dream of doing after schoolio), this might be the ticket. Especially if you can slip the sim card in your unlocked iPhone.

Questions Couples Should Ask (Or Wish They Had) Before Marrying
There's some good ones here. Like:

1) Have we discussed whether or not to have children, and if the answer is yes, who is going to be the primary care giver?

(Translation: You don't want kids either, right?)

4) Have we fully disclosed our health histories, both physical and mental?

(Translation: If you go crazy/fat, we're done.)

14) If one of us were to be offered a career opportunity in a location far from the other’s family, are we prepared to move?

(Translation: You know we're moving as far away from our parents as possible.)

12) What does my family do that annoys you?

(Translation: What don't they do?)

Actually it sounds like it's some type of combo battery-ultracapacitor, but if it's real, GM's gonna be pissed.

"The company boldly claims that its system, a kind of battery-ultracapacitor hybrid based on barium-titanate powders, will dramatically outperform the best lithium-ion batteries on the market in terms of energy density, price, charge time, and safety. Pound for pound, it will also pack 10 times the punch of lead-acid batteries at half the cost and without the need for toxic materials or chemicals, according to the company."

The Male Pill

Revolutionary hour-before-sex male pill on the anvil:
"...the new pill being researched by scientists at King's College London, contains chemicals that prevent ejaculation and could be in tablet-form. Men could take one daily, just like the female pill, or have one a few hours before sex as a one-off contraceptive. Sexual satisfaction is not affected and the absence of hormones means that a man's fertility should return to normal within hours of stopping the treatment. 'The non-hormonal male pill could be taken when and as needed,' researcher Dr Nnaemeka Amobi was quoted by the daily Mail, as saying.. 'If the man was taking the pill over a period of several months and decided to come off it, we would expect his fertility to return just as quickly as if he had taken it on a one-off basis,' fellow researcher Dr Christopher Smith added. The contraceptive was inspired by the observation that some drugs used to treat schizophrenia and high blood pressure also prevent ejaculation. However, side-effects including dizziness and drowsiness mean these medicines could not be marketed as contraceptives. "
