    japan, you're marginally involved with automobiles, so I was wondering if you could advise me

    For the last ten years I've driven a Peugeot 306. It's not on its last legs or anything, but I feel it's time to move on.

    Based on my own list of wants, I''m reading halfway decent things about the Fiat 500L, and maybe a more modern Ford Focus.

    Do you have any knowledge about whether these cars are any good? Or is there a car you'd recommend for single city driving?

    Most of my car knowledge revolves around whether they are more or less expensive than average to fix in a typical shunt

    Having said that the Focus is popular for a reason, as are the Fiats and BMW Minis

    The diesels are really good on tax and fuel

    What's your priority? Cost/value/residual value/running cost/performance/etc?

    The ultimate priority is MP3 compatibility

    Other than that, I'd like a relatively compact five-door car, like the one I drive currently, for ease of city maneuver. Next priority is running costs, so probably a low-carbon Diesel engine with decent mileage, and then obviously a car that doesn't break down a lot or cost £PorscheInStockport to insure.

    The one negative I hear about even the Fiat 1.6 diesel engine is it feels underpowered, like it's a pain to overtake anything. My current car is a turbo diesel and I feel like it does the job, but I dunno how that compares.

    Fleet buyers, concerned with running and servicing costs, residual value, and are unafflicted by badge snobbery, are lately going for:

    http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/hyundai/i30-2012/
    http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/kia/ceed-2012/

    Their eco models are the best available

    Where employees get to chose, the Focus and VAG (Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda) models tend to be the top picks

    Dude that website has 2 or more things trying to destroy my smart phone.

    Hmm...just pondering things. Removing the EC actually is interesting in that the minority votes, be they dem or pub, in the set states gain a voice back which has been lost for a long time. Especially if the election is in 10 points of each other. In some states that is almost the entire electorate.

    Most games will at least put some Steam cache files on there so you're only pulling the patches from the internet :P

    I like both. The controller set up is really great. But the classic set up lets them do all sorts of skill stuff and difficulty ramping you can't get with the controller.

    Google and Apple worked out some stuff too, since Google is allowed to mention android in the app store with it, and they gained a lot of access to data through the bluetooth stack for their device.

    Sadly, the level of interaction is still way below the Apple Watch (notifications are not interactive, 3rd party apps cannot push tot he watch from iOS, watch faces are only the ones curated by google and pushed to the iOS app, etc.) - but competition is good, and I bet over time they work out the kinks and make a richer product for iOS users as a result. Of course, WatchOS 2.0 is almost out, and that seriously improves on the Apple Watch in very meaningful ways.

    In one quarter on the market Apple decimated the sales of every single Google / Android wearable since they came out. But the good news is, people now know it is a product that exists and competitors can now start pushing their products as "like the apple watch, but cheaper/more customizable" and get some traction they did not have before the watch existing.

    This category is gonna blow up in the next year or so.

    Deus Ex is going so far down the preorder rabbit hole that I don't there there is any coming back.

    You would have to buy the game three times and hope all the preorder stretch goals are met in order to get all the stuff.

    Also the different looks is important. I think Apple underestimated how much people would want choice in the watch design. I can see why Apple is holding back some parts to push people to their product, doesn't mean they should though. But it is a smart business move.

    I am curious how the next gen of google watches will be. Some look really nice and I won't lie the google now card system is actually kind of genius. Especially since I started using it. Not on the version where it creeply stalks me but still it does a lot of neat things.
