Mercedes cambia el panel de control clásico por una pantalla LCD (Dec 25 2005 23:59 GMT) - La casa alemana Mercedes ha sido la primera en revolucionar el mundo automovilístico y se dispone a lanzar un panel de control con pantalla LCD en vez de la típica analógica. Éste cambio supondría una gran personalización a la hora de mostrar los datos que el conductor prefiera o aquellos que según él más información le aporten. Ésta pantalla también podría reproducir videos incluso en vivo de por ejemplo, cámaras de tráfico para ver su estado, una ciudad u otra, etc. Mercedes piensa incorporar ésta pantalla para el año 2007 en la gama más alta de sus vehículos, la Clase S, por un precio que con casi total seguridad será prohibitivo para la inmensa mayoría de nosotros.

Colours (Dec 25 2005 23:56 GMT) - This one is really nitpicky in a way. And hinting at a loss of culture in another: Back in the days a fun way to demonstrate to people how Apple’s software is more civilised than Windows was to let them have a look at the screen colour settings.
