<description><![CDATA[Our CEO at Applied Materials wants to see our revenues grow past historical levels, so he's got a new initiative about achieving &quot;escape velocity&quot; (complete with a cartoon rocket).  His profound damage to our way of working leaves us wondering whether &quot;escape velocity&quot; refers to running from the building after work or &quot;escaping&quot; to a better company.  This seems like the kind of thing the PHB could get behind.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sitting in your office looking out the window.... awaiting inspiration maybe ...... or waiting for some workmate to come in &amp; disturb your reverie.  Tell me Scott, you must run a creative little team.  I say run because you produce so much more than than you did 1n 1989.  But it's still under your artistic control.  That would seem to make you in charge like a boss.  Are you boss?  Are you in the past or now or in the future going to be a PHB??]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I don't miss the rewind button when looking out the window, but I do sometimes reach for Ctrl F while I'm reading the newspaper and want to get to the good bit. And sometimes when I can't find my keys, I think &quot;I'll just google them&quot; before I remember that google doesn't know the contents of my house.

Yet.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Funny...truly. I feel your pain.

I worked at a very ethical dealership where we didn't do that to people. We tried to cooperate, taking PAY CUTS to survive.

That dealership went out of business on Jan. 9, 2009.

I am now unemployed with very few job prospects in my area.

I love all you wonderful people who love to bash on those that took the time to understand and master the rolling monstrosities that you depend on to get you places every day. Yeah, auto techs are a bunch of crooks. Is it our fault you know lots about pro sports or the latest celebrity gossip but can't even change your own oil?? 

Think fixing cars is easy?? Go ahead, fix your cars yourself. We don't get paid squat to fix them under warranty for you anyway.

I was a tech for 20 years. I FIXED CARS FOR PEOPLE! My best year? $40,000.

Were there crooks in my business making a lot more? Sure... there are in any business.

Y'all act like we ALL get rich off what we do. Not likely.

I hate to see what happens when all the paper-pushing jobs dry up and the whiners have to do something useful to make a living.

I take that back. I won't hate to see that at all.

Good luck to all.

<description><![CDATA[I have had a number of occasions where I'd really like an Undo button (Ctrl-Z).
Usually it's just after I've injured myself (stubbed toe) or, sometimes, while I'm in the process of injuring myself (i.e. skiing, see a rock, hit the rock, wipe-out... Undo!  Undo!)

<description><![CDATA[Obviously, you are going to the wrong car dealership. I have a Saturn and have had nothing but enjoyable experiences at the dealership. A few months ago, I had my rear windshield wiper ripped off at a (cheap) car wash, and I took it to the dealer to have it replaced. They replaced it for free, saying they'd consider it a warranty item. While I was waiting, I had complementary coffee and fresh popped popcorn. They brough my car around,  just washed and gave me a coupon for $ off my next oil change. Yeah, I think I'll go there again.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The technology is here. But the need isn't (yet). When the day will come when you fear that will be taken to court on anything you said or heard. You will start walking around with a mp3 recorder on. When you will have similar fears on what you saw or should have seen. You'll do the same with a packet video cam (better do front and back). The funny thing is an entire life doesn't take that much disk space.

I've already been waiting for something like this even for that last 10 minutes to be implemented by law in cars. 

Anyone out there marketing such a product ?

<description><![CDATA[What's funny is that the attitude behind everything described by both Scott and readers is what has gotten our economy in this mess in the first place.   Awhile back, Scott wrote that the great thing about recessions is that they get rid of things that shouldn't have been there in the first place.  Maybe this kind of attitude will fall by the wayside as people begin to shop around more and refuse to pay someone to screw them or treat them like dirt.

The only way we will survive is both average citizens and corporations experience a profound cultual shift.  We've become somewhat apathetic and lazy when it comes to this stuff (it's too much of a hassle to take it somewhere else).  The companies that survive will be the ones that offer something others haven't for years:  good customer service.  And that not only includes retailers and car people, but also banks, doctors, everyone.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[sometimes when i crash my car i wish there was a rewind button too. Google Rewind would be perfect. Or Apple Rewind. Unfortunately there's no such services around yet. I'm sure there will be in the future. Avoid Windows Rewind though.

<description><![CDATA[Scott,

Since you know hypnotising, couldn't you just hypnotise yourself and retrieve your memory and regurgitate on it?

It reminds me of me trying to tap the screen of my cell phone whcih doesn't have touch screen feature.

It also reminded me that I'd feel frustrated when I need to look for information from a large chunk of printed text, because I couldn't jump straight to the part I need with search function.

I fear that as technology advance we'd be more apt to interact with gadgets and instruments but becoming less competent in other things. Personally I feel that I can no longer write with a decent handwriting (not that it was any good to begin with)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In American Fork there is a place called &quot;Lumpy's.&quot;  I learned about Lumpy's from the guys at Expert Automotive in West Jordan.  I was moving and asked them to recommend someone like them - honest and competent.    

I learned about the EA guys from my sister.  She had three estimates ranging from $250 to $550 for her electrical problem.  She went in EA and the owner said &quot;Let's check the fuses.&quot;  There was a blown fuse.  So he said &quot;Let's see if there's a loose wire.&quot;  There was.  He tightened it.  The whole thing took five minutes.  My sister asked how much and he said &quot;The fuse is seventeen cents and the invoice form is fifty cents.  What if you just come back when you have a real repair.&quot;  All of us do.

Lumpy's is like that too.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I also think the car dealers and petrol companies are in colusion too... well Duh, you all say!

I bought a new car with hi performance engine and the recomendation in the owners manual, and from the friendly sales guy, was to use the premium hi octane fuel (which in Australia costs on average 10 to 12 cents more per litre) on the basis it keeps the fuel system components clean and healthy.

I do this. It makes sense to me and I see consistently great mileage and performance.

Yet everytime I take it in to the dealer for regular servicing they invariably advise me it needs a $200 fuel system flush and service to &quot;keep the fuel system components clean and healthy&quot;.

I poiltely tell them to read their manual and rip-off someone else.]]></description>
