• Restaurants Put the App in Customer Appreciation (Slashfood)

  Aug 15th 2010 11:12AM Danny,
  
  You dummy. Poynt just works with your GPS to show you what is close to you and where to go after you find the place. It is no different from using your Garmin or an old fashion map. If you decide to share with your friends with your phone where you are, than that is your problem, these programs have absolutely no relation to those facebook, google, etc. services. I agree, you would be an idiot to do that, but Poynt does not.

  Aug 14th 2010 12:16AM Foursquare ins't too bad, but I still like Poynt more. GPS enabled, has a lot more functionality. It even pairs with OpenTable so I can book online. Type in what is close, read reviews, etc. It also shows stuff like Movies and their corresponding trailors. Much more powerful product. Foursquare good, Poynt better.

• Geneva 2010: 1957 Saab 93 rally headed for Mille Miglia with Spyker and Saab CEOs at the wheel (Autoblog)

  Mar 3rd 2010 9:36PM In light of Spyker's own financial problems, all I hope is that Saab doesn't put the nail in the coffin. Picking up Saab was a terrible decision. They should save their money from having these silly events and maybe make cars that push more than 20,000 units a year.

• Original Motorola RAZR refuses to die, spawns new LuK Hot Pink version in Korea (Engadget Mobile)

  Jul 25th 2009 2:23AM They could be a case study for how to drop your money into marketing and not enough into R&D to make those things actually work.
  
  This phone would have been epic except for the fact hat reliability wise, it was really only good as a paperweight.
  
  But yes... Good study on 'How to Ruin a Company 101'

• You Had Your Chance: Chrysler says Viper program is no longer for sale (Autoblog)

  Jul 11th 2009 2:49AM Totally disagree... It's time for Crysler to cut the losses and get on with business. They have too many brands that are not offering any added value to the company and do not present any value propositions. Sure they have vested technology, capital, yada yada yada, but end of the day, they are a company that is floating on tax dollars. Time to restructure and get rid of the dead wood (ex. dodge). Look at Ford for example, should they have sold Jag, LR, most of their Mazda ownership, AM, and Volvo? By your same priciples no... But it makes sense for business and Ford is benefiting by not being the free money pirates that GM and Crysler are.

• French Press Tips from the CoffeeMeister (Slashfood)

  May 15th 2009 12:57AM Wow, more gripping than I would have thought. Burr Grinders are far superior than the traditional blade for a few reasons. First, blade grinders you will get inconsistent grind sizes. Think of it this way... Burr grinders work similar to good pepper grinders. There are basically two plates that rotate into each other. Blade grinders are like spinning knives. You will still have chunks if you chop with your eyes closed. Secondly, blade grinders typically elimate heat. Heat will ruin the oils in the bean giving it a artificial taste, often burnt taste. I personally recommend the KitchenAid Pro Series grinder. Here in Canada it costs anywhere from about $150-$300. This is fully adjustable for the perfect French Press to as fine as a Turkish coffee. Hope this helps!
