    I know this thread is labelled “OT” for Off Topic, but perhaps its not going to be off topic for too much longer…

    http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/03/01/apple_reportedly_hiring_automotive_engineers_in_china.html

    Why does everything Apple does look so obvious after they do it?

    Seller agreed to my offer today for Shirley’s Buick.  :!:  Contracts being FedEx’d now.  Deposit made through VISA.

    I did well in the negotiations.  You can see it here:

    Congrats.  It sounds like a special car.  And I know one thing:  Your depreciation will be less than mine.

    How would you like an iPad in the dashboard of your car?

    A little context for the Apple and car engineering deal:  iMac enclosures are stamped kinda like sheet metal for cars.  http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/08/09/design_details_and_teardown_photos_of_apples_new_imacs.html

    These job listings, if true, could just as easily be about process or enclosure fabrication innovation.  Big ‘ol HDTVs might need bigger aluminum stamping/CNC/whatever methods, right? wink

    That is, bar none, the most offensive looking dashboard I’ve seen.

    I could be OK with a Siri-compatible car like this one. smile  Wonder if the A-class will make it to the States this iteration.

    Bueller ain’t joyriding in a CR-V.  Maybe something more along these lines?

    Context, since it was moved!

    Phoebear was wondering where Gregg was:  “Bueller, Bueller…”

    And since he’s gone parabolic LOL, I just ran with the CR-V joke.

    Very exotic.  But a tad slower than my favorite ride (#2 on this list of super cars (from fastest to “slowest”).
