Aston Martin Virage













It looks like Aston Martin has moved the Vantage upscale in the form of the new Virage. It fits between the DB9 and DBS.

The Virage has a 490 horsepower V12 with a top speed of 185mph. It has a perfect 50:50 weight distribution.

As much as I love Porsche, nothing in the world sounds as good as an Aston Martin!

New Macbook Pro - Thunderbolt












The new Macbook Pro Thunderbolt was released today. Yes I am going to get one. I am going to wait until this summer when Lion is released so that I don't have to go through that upgrade process.

The new Thunderbolt I/O technology promises a data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps. Wow!

Underground Shelter Network


Vivos has come up with the ultimate underground fallout shelter. You can reserve your spot for only $50,000.

If you read their literature the whole thing is rather scary!

Borders Should Be An Example













Borders bankruptcy should be an example for any company trying to deal with a paradigm shift.

The book business began to move toward e-books approximately 24 months ago. In addition, places like Amazon.com and Costco can sell books for much less than Borders as they do not have the same overhead structure.

The interesting side story is that indie book stores are still flourishing. They are able to offer specialized customer service. There will always be people who prefer to read a real book!
