The legendary AC Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe →

The end result was the now legendary Cobra Daytona Coupe, which was named after the track it made its debut on. The breathtaking machine was a whole 20 mph...

Discovery Lands at Kennedy Space Center →
I caught the shuttle landing live this afternoon with the kids. I asked my daughter if she knew what the space shuttle was and she said “What’s that?”.

Never buy a cheap hard drive
I have one and it runs like crap. It also sounds like somebody stuck a couple of marbles in with the Eight O’Clock beans before that first grind-your-own cup of java in the morning. Sensi would like to know: “What is the sound of one head crashing?”

WatchCNBC Gives Financial Advice :: Heed advice only if are out of ideas and think a chimpanzee with a dartboard can pick better investments.
To the defense of guys like Cramer, sure he said those companies were OK but I don’t think guys on the outside knew how bad it really was. It’s also worth mentioning that he told people to sell everything (if they needed the money in the next five...
