Save Gas: Inflate Your Tires With Nitrogen

Comment in News (5 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/13/2008
Plus, I'm guessing that the fuel used to transport the N2 to you will be a LOT more than you could possibly save with any change in the type of gas you put in your tires. The air you normally put in your tires is already there, so it does not have to be … (see comment)

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 06/10/2008

iPhone 3G hands-on

Comment in News (5 diggs, 0 replies) - on 06/10/2008

20 MPG is what my minivan gets. If I needed a truck to tow stuff, I would consider this. But, I think the smarter move would have been a minivan. I know many people who would go for a hybrid minivan. I know no one who would buy a hybrid supersized SUV … (see comment)

"China decreased its spam volume by 131% in the second half of 2007" Hello? You can not reduce something by more than 100% without going negative. There is no such thing as negative spam. (see comment)

Taxing the corn syrup after subsidising the corn. Now that is efficiency. I think we should just stop subsidizing corn and potatoes. The obesity problem in America can be directly correlated with these subsidies, and these foods are not good for humans … (see comment)
