@SDC I think he means driving the car perpetually with a spare tire as opposed to it being in the trunk. LOL

ahhh, this is definitely a case of using technology to measure even the slightest hint of being behind in the world. in the 1950s, it was called, “keeping up with the joneses.”

@Abort: What, we’re supposed to not have spare tires?

I missed that memo.

with all due respect to the certainly brilliant anonymous commenters ‘nickbob’ and ‘hatmike’ i think you’re onto something here.

i think you may have missed a couple thousand re-reports though.

what about a blog that posts only stories that related sites–say engadget and gizmodo–don’t BOTH post–like a difference blog. prob have one or two stories a day, could make a good living.

Best thing on AI was Blodgett being called out on continually dissing Google, and Blodgett admitting he was long on Yahoo. I don’t now why anybody takes those guys seriously.

Speaking of non-news…

I read and enjoyed FSJ’s blog because it was well-written, witty, and insightful. I haven’t seen any of that here, leading me to wonder if RSJ wasn’t using Dan as a beard for his own real blog. What a prank that would have been. And when he became to ill to fit blogging into his schedule, he shut it down.
