Does anyone else think that this is absolutely hilarious?

Looks like somehow someone got some pictures of the upcoming T-Mobile G1. I’m not a big fan of the white, but as far as the look of it, I’m still liking where it’s going. Along with these, I also came across a list of specifications. Not sure where these are coming from, AndroidGuys.com simply states that they are from “various places,” whatever the hell that means.
Anyways, here’s the list of specs that they have currently:
Notably missing is GPS… but I’ve been seeing a lot about the upcoming Android Market, which will be very cool.
And, in case you weren’t one of the cool kids in the know, the little angled piece at the bottom of the phone is now called a “kicktail,” and the sliding screen to get to the keyboard is called an “arc slider screen.” Neato.

You are on your way to being yet another disappointment in the 2008 hurricane season. You were heading right towards the east coast of Florida, right where you were supposed to go. Now you’re just going to turn left at the last minute, and hit Cuba. They don’t want more storms.
Please revise your planned route, and let me know of it via weather.com.
Thank you,

Are these people for real? Apparently now we need some way for the flight attendants on a flight to monitor if there is porn playing on someone’s laptop? Do they think this is going to happen a lot? I mean… I can’t really see that you’re sitting in a jam packed airplane… and then an awesome idea pops into your head, “I SURE COULD GO FOR SOME INTERNET PORN RIGHT NOW!”
I know there are plenty of stupid people around, but this crosses the line into straight common sense. Like, most people understand it’s not OK to grab a 1980s boombox playing Hall & Oates “Private Eyes” on volume 11, strip off all of your clothes, and go run around in circles in a busy intersection. Just because “Private Eyes” is a totally bad ass song, it doesn’t mean it’s cool to rock out to it naked in the middle of the street. I think this porn-on-a-plane situation is the same thing.
And then when the lady brings up her autistic child… WTF does that have to do with anything? I guess it’s worse for an autistic child to see porn than any other child? This ridiculous topic on CNN has nothing to do with handicapped children, yet she has to throw it in there somehow. Get a life, lady.

Looks pretty cool, right? That’s what I originally thought, until I remembered that every other car manufacturer is doing the same thing. We’ll take our semi-sports car, find its design from 30 years ago, round the edges a little, throw a new engine in it, and call it a new one. Sure, this appeals to a lot of people… I mean, look at the new Mustangs. You see those things all over the place. I’m sure Ford is making a killing with them. I’m sure it gives 40-some year olds their “youthful exuberance” back in some way. But I’m ready for a new car that isn’t based on an old model. And something that isn’t going to cost $100 to fill up in a couple years.
Which brings me to another topic, the Chevy Volt. “Doesn’t use a drop of gas…” Sounds good. “Wait… doesn’t use a drop of gas until you drive it 40 miles.” WTF is that about? Somebody make me a true electric car, dammit! Not a hybrid… not something that will sort of work on electricity for a few miles. And definitely not anything that looks like a Toyota Prius… at least the Volt has its looks going for it.
It still amazes me that 15 or 20 years ago, we had Hondas, Volkswagens, etc. that would get nearly 50mpg. Take the 88-91 Honda CRX HF for example. 41mpg city/50mpg highway. Now, automobile manufacturers think anything that gets 25mpg on the highway is better than the second coming of Jesus.
I guess I’ll stick to my Prelude… until some electric powered car that will turn into a giant fire breathing robot at the push of a button comes along. 2014 Honda Facemelter 6000, maybe?
