Finally, Someone Adds Extra Ferrari to the $320K F12berlinetta

jlrgdsStill a Lambo kinda guy. Big difference between 1 million dollar car and a 360k car. But This is still very sexy af. V12 700+ hp. 6 gears is pretty awesome for luxury cars, this puppy has 7(!) Will I ever go fast enough on a road that warrants the 7th gear to be used? A man can dream though.

jlrgdsFirst smartphone was a blackberry. I remember when Obama started in office, he was the "tech savvy" POTUS with his own Blackberry. Such is life.

jlrgdsInteresting read, glad to see the support from NCAA and the like from other sporting venues. It bugs me that money is being pulled from disaster relief i.e. hurricane funding, to deal with the litigation of this issue. NC and really government in general can just go eff itself.

jlrgdsYikes, this is nasty, and this even references the absurdity of the drm from keurig kcups. 3rd party already figured out some work arounds, just like with the keurig debacle. Stupid, dirty, and underhanded.

The New Ghost in the Shell Teasers Are Truly Hair-Raising
by Brian Raftery
jlrgdsI like Ghost in the Shell, it's some crazy good existential shit. Tried watching the Stand Alone Complex, heard it was good, but never quite devoted the time to it. I'm sad to hear that it getting turned into a live action movie. Low expectations.
