They'll modify it slightly, to stop the fire risk, and rebrand it.

So, what you are saying is that the next Google phone after the Pixel will be the first REAL Google phone?

I was in a Best Buy a few days ago and made my typical joke to the cell phone 'kid' on duty - "Hi, do you have any Samsung Galaxy Notes in stock? I hear they are a 'hot' item!!" Got the customary fake laugh, then the kid actually said to me, "Even with the battery problem it is still a better phone than the iPhone."

Really? Wow, they used to say how badly Apple users were 'brainwashed'...

Either that or he was messing with you the same way you messed with him.

More people are going to get beat up.

ha! I saw these photos somewhere else and didn't read the article to find out it was the CEO. I wrongly assumed they had intentionally hired the model with the
most punchable face. They should sell these embedded in a helmet, to protect the wearers from being hit with baseball bats, shovels, etc.

There was a decent documentary on Netflix, "Apex", about Koenigsegg and its One + 1, Porsche and its 918, McLaren, and Ferrari supercars. Of those, all but the Ferrari were hybrids.

Considering how well hybrids have done in endurance racing, just the EV experience that Apple would gain from the buy would be a bargain.

It's funny, I've been watching Top Gear since it started back up in 2002. The idea of an electric motor or battery power for a supercar simply wasn't in anyone's purview back then. A hybrid or EV was a joke, and yet now it seems like the only way to push the performance barrier moving forward.

I think all those YouTube videos of supposedly fast ICE cars being left in the dust when drag racing against an electric powered four-door family car has something to do with it. My favorite one is where a Tesla Model X, towing a trailer carrying an Alfa Romeo 4c, outraces an Alfa Romeo 4c.
