  1. I would suggest you watch an automatic transmission repair video for your own amusement and to learn how "easy" it is to fix a modern car that has a transmission problem.

  2. Integration is a necessary engineering strategy to save cost while adding features. A car from the 1950s would have killed its passengers in most serious accidents and people were contempt with that. Then we implemented ever more safety features and cars were killing ever fewer people. This makes car design harder and more expensive. Designers have to find cost savings to make up for the price of safety.

  3. Sounds cool, except that black and white printers are also printing those patterns.

  4. A rational reason for many users to buy Apple products was productivity. I have been in mixed PC/Apple Mac environments and have seen cheap PCs fail, while the Macs would soldier on for many years without a hitch. Where time is money that's actually a very valid concern and buying a slightly more expensive Apple design will, over the long run, very often returns its money. Now, mind you, this is a statement about older iMacs, I have heard that MacBook users are not always having such a positive experience lately, so one has to decide on a case by case basis. I consider phones as throw-away hardware anyway. They age out and that's how one should treat them after three or four years.

  5. How often was Emmy running that oven? If she needed an industrial oven but she bought a consumer oven, instead, to save money, then there is your problem.

  6. You can't make future proof specs in an environment in which transistor counts double every few years.
