"The fact that the leading hyperlocal website was snatched up by a multimedia partnership operated by NBC and Microsoft shows a dismaying lack of imagination, foresight and, perhaps, economic resources on the part of the companies operating the nation’s struggling newspapers."
But, there are two kinds of automatic transmissions
I have been a stick shift user since 1965 when I got my driver's license.
I have always hated automatic transmissions because of:
1. loss of control
2. fewer number of gears
3. fewer miles per gallon of fuel
4. slushiness that came with torque converters
But, a year ago, we bought an Audi A3 with a Triptronic 6-speed.
What a world of difference. This provides:
1. Control as you can always go to manual mode
2. plenty of gears
3. the tiniest fuel consumption loss
4. crisp feeling thanks to double-clutch technology
Certainly "good enough" for me. And, way more convenient for city driving.
And, also [as SP would say], my wife loves her iPhone with its 30+ apps.
