computermesh writes "Ford has a vehicle that gets 65MPG and will not be released in the US. Why? Because they can not afford to! 'Ford's 2009 Fiesta ECOnetic goes on sale in November. But here's the catch: Despite the car's potential to transform Ford's image and help it compete with Toyota Motor (TM) and Honda Motor (HMC) in its home market, the company will sell the little fuel sipper only in Europe.

"God is invading Alaska." Master's Commission: Wasilla, Alaska is a teen religious program that starts this week, sponsored by the Wasilla Assembly of God, the local church to which vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin used to belong. This movie-trailer-style promo clip for Master's Commission is impressive both for its Dolby-rumble production quality and its deadpan imitation of the late Don LaFontaine. Obamatarded atheists will cringe at its God-is-coming theme, but the Mat-Su Valley and Silicon ...

Make no mistake. The cute comic book and the touchy-feely talk about user experience is little more than a coat of paint on top of a monumental hatred of Microsoft. Chrome, the Webkit-based Google browser that launches tomorrow at Google.com/chrome, will give them a real foothold on the desktop and way more control over how web applications perform. They’ve built their own Javascript engine despite the fact that Webkit already has one. This should make ...

Yet a direct result of their effectiveness and widespread early adoption is that much of today's global economy remains dependent upon them.
