Ford Sync Killer ? Maybe

Perhaps Ford Multi-media Computer (The Sync) won’t be the only one on the market as Chrysler has just announced its going forward with U-Connect ( I know it sounds kinda ripped off), the U-Connect system will include in car Wi-fi/ 4G connectivity to check your very important Facebook messages. It also offers Satellite radio, from Sirus and also comes with a rear seat Swivel screen that allows you to connect a gaming system such as (Nintendo Wii or any other gaming stations) U-Connect System turns your car in to a mobile hot spot enabling you to download movies, music, or checking the weather. There is a hic-cup in the system that consumers might not be aware of, it’s connectivity will only reach a 100 yards with the car turned on . It’s not as functional as the Ford’s Sync but is a fully integrated option to check off , the next time you pick up a new car.

Why Insurance Companies Suck – Worst Drivers Survey

In a recent desperate attempt to generate web traffic an insurance company, that will remain nameless, has released a list ranking states by best and worst drivers. Did this insurance company spend hundreds of thousands of dollars doing actual testing of Millions of licensed motorists? Did they gather a representative sampling of the population and take them for three days of written, oral and real world skills testing? Nope, they had 5000 people take written tests.

Yep, that’s right, 5000 of the over 200,000,000 licensed drivers in this country is apparently a representative sample to an insurance company. A company whose very ember of existence is based on statistical data. An industry who decides what to charge you based on the huge number crunching abilities they poses.
