Knock-your-socks-off Performance Electric Car

Electric cars are slow. Shelby who?

I became acutely aware of my ignorance today, when I saw this article in Engadget.



I do hope to become rich (like most of us?), and was thinking I'll buy an Audi R8 when I do. I think this kind of car will be more like it for me, though.

Nurses don't care

This video is a farce!



I was surprised to hear, that as part of their training - nurses are 'taught' not to get close to their patients. What a paradox - a noble profession, all about caring for the sick, and you're taught not to care for them!

But once again - it was the smile - or the lack of it, which upset me the most.

I'm sorry guys, but there's something majorly wrong with the medical system in the US.

Also, there are sites like fatwallet and google product search, that try to make shopping online simpler. But here's the deal - none of these sites has enough information for you to make the educated decision.
Isn't it much simpler to just go to a store and pickup what you want! Okay - you're paying a premium, and maybe some extra tax.. but at least you get instant gratification!
