The only trouble I've had with it is that sometimes an incoming text or voicemail takes longer than it should to arrive on my phone.
This makes me laugh since I often learn days later someone has called (t-mobile).
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

All is well that ends in pizza.
Are IDE notebook drives (well, ata/100) all but extinct? The Hdd on Andi's Powerb0ok is getting louder, and the one on this old 2000-era iMac (with handle!) is grinding.
I am trying to search for notebook Hdds on pricewatch and dealnews, and I keep finding most hdds of any size and format are SATA.
It appears the SATA revolution is nearly complete.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I did have problems at DragonCon with my texts not arriving. That's the only time, though.

Interesting news from General Motors today that's resulted in some puzzled expressions at Engadget HQ. Since the concept stage the company has been saying how the onboard internal combustion engine was just to charge the batteries, that only the electric motors (there are two) are actually connected to the drivetrain. We're now learning that is not the case, that the Volt's gasoline engine can directly provide power to the wheels in concert with the electric motors.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's not a battery-powered car with an internal combustion engine that only recharges the battery; it's just a regular hybrid.

You knew this? This is the first I've heard that it's just an ordinary hybrid.

Nope. Just found that out from the article.

That's not what the Chevy Volt page implies.

I wouldn't call it an ordinary hybrid. The ICE only contributes power at highway speed when it's already activated to maintain charge since it's more efficient than just charging the battery and having only the electric motors provide power.
