The Audi R8 LMS would be a fantastic addition to the American Le Mans Series

I've been hoping that the R8 would make an appearance in the North America ever since it debuted two years ago. Until now the R8 LMS has only been available in GT3 class specification and there hasn't been a space for it in ALMS. While the ALMS GT Challenge class has been a success for the series, it has so far been limited to the Porsche 911 GT3. There are a number of other cool GT3 cars available in Europe that could provide some exciting racing here including the BMW Z4 and Lotus Evora. If the rumors are accurate, Audi will be developing a GT2/GTE version of the R8 to compete against the Corvettes, Ferrari 458s, Jaguar XKRs and of course the venerable 911. Bring 'em on.

I'm sure that in recent years as the use of debit cards has become more prevalent, we've all experienced the annoyance of magnetic strips wearing out.

While that is annoying in and of itself, what really makes me crazy are the stupid card readers at some stores. When I go to Lowes, I swipe my card, enter my pin accept the payment amount and then wait. Only then does it come back and report that it couldn't read the card. The system clearly knows as soon as the card is swiped whether it was able to read data.

Why not just say this right away so I can switch to a different card?

What moron programmed this system?

This has been happening for years even when I have a relatively new card which makes me tend to avoid shopping at Lowes unless they have something I can't find elsewhere. It's long past time to fix this.

Why does Verizon force Android updates to be done over 3G instead of allowing wifi?

My son's Samsung Fascinate is finally getting its update to gingerbread but as with previous updates on Verizon, it automatically switches off wifi before starting the OTA download. The phone can still authenticate itself to Verizon's servers even over Wifi so why not let it use a faster connection? This is just ridiculous.
