...Despite preliminary findings that Toyota's software did not play a role in the Prius acceleration, suspicion will likely linger as long as no other cause is positively identified. To put suspicions to rest, Toyota asked Exponent's experts to test the engine's software thoroughly with electromagnetic waves and electric shocks to see if they can force the engine-control modules to send the wrong signal to the throttle. Says Michels: "We haven't put any limits on them, and it could take them several months to come back with a [final] report...
...over 35 who has heard of the Yugo. But I actually believe it is not the worst car in history. If a car is marketed in the United States and sold in the United States, that means it passed certain presale standards. [The Yugo] had to pass a safety test, a crash test. It had to pass an emissions test...
...interesting that you can almost foretell its future. I want the Nano to succeed. I hope they read my book, because I see so many things happening already that look like it's going to be a disaster. It's going to pass its safety and emissions tests, but it's still going to be dangerous if an SUV hits it. It's going to get walloped in a crash test. And invariably, like what happened with the Yugo, someone is going to die in a crash. The Nano will be in some wreck, and it will turn out that...
...only cause of bottlenecks, and Cisco is not alone in working to maximize the Internet's full potential. Google is also concerned about the speed limitations imposed by wires that run to the home. Last month, Google, best known for its search engine, announced plans to test ultra-high-speed broadband networks that would deliver Internet content to residential subscribers at speeds of 1 gigabit per second - 100 times as fast as the top speed available today. This would allow consumers to complete a PC download of a Hollywood blockbuster like Avatar in about 72 seconds...
Although each of these studies included several thousand diabetes patients, which bolsters the reliability of their results, it doesn't mean they are the final word on the tested treatments. In the blood-fats arm of the ACCORD study, for instance, about 40% of the volunteers had already had a previous heart event and the remainder had risk factors, other than diabetes, that put them at high risk for heart disease, notes Dr. Om Ganda, director of the lipid clinic at Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. That means the trial was not truly a primary-prevention study designed to test...
