Adaptive Cruise Control Goes Mainstream
"He's been weaving and changing lanes, doing between 45 and 70 mph—and hasn't touched a pedal in an hour." - sounds cool. I wonder how whether it might also result in a decrease in the rate of accidents.
A new problem brewing: Coffee and young adults
"Teens and young adults aren't reaching for regular black coffee, but rather high-calorie drinks like mochaccinos and frapuccinos which are loaded with sugar and fat. While these drinks may taste good, they provide almost no nutritional value and leave kids with a lot of empty calories." ... personally it was laziness that converted me to drinking coffee black. Less stuff to keep in the fridge, and saves the occasional walk in search of a fridge. That said, to be drinkable black the coffee has to be reasonable. Tim Hortons coffee still requires a bit of cream and sugar.
The Sluggard
"The wise man will learn while there is time. He knows that the sluggard is no freak, but, as often as not, an ordinary man who has made too many excuses, too many refusals and too many postponements. It has all been as imperceptible, and as pleasant, as falling asleep."
Grains make gains: Wheat surpasses white in sliced bread sales
Am I the only one who just doesn't like the white stuff? (I also don't require a magical transformation from "bread" to "toast" to take place prior to being able to eat the stuff)

White vs. Brown - I'm sure the whole grain bread is healthier for you but it's also much more likely to give me heartburn. Not really sure why, but it does. So, I prefer white.
