Knight Rider vs Get SmartBy Anonymous on June 18, 2008, 12:43 pmGet Smart episodes didn't often focus on Maxwell Smart's sports cars, among them a Sunbeam Tiger replica and Volkswagon Karman Ghia. But if it had, would they have been decked-out with a voice activated on-board computer complete with broadband quality satellite data connectivity, mobile voice communications, GPS, high sensitivity audio and photo-quality optical sensor equipment, and remote and automated driving controls like the highly-modified K.I.T.T. 2000 Pontiac Firebird featured in the T.V. series Knight Rider? From what I've seen in one particular preview commerical, Smart's poor Sunbeam Tiger apparently flies about as well as K.I.T.T., being shown at near a 45 degree impact angle before the camera view cuts away, which surely destroyed the venerable British/American hybrid machine. K.I.T.T. also appeared to share a similar destructive fate when performing a stunt jump over a semi-tractor-trailer car transport rig, although that was approaching a 90 degree impact angle at terminus. Of course, replacement cars are filmed driving happily away in defiance of gravity and structural integrity issues following the demise of the stunt vehicles.
10 Get Smart phones you can actually get nowBy Anonymous on June 19, 2008, 4:09 pmIn your article/slideshow "10 "Get Smart" phones you can actually get now" (http://www.networkworld.com/slideshows/2008/061708-10-get-smart-phones.html) you list the Cobalt pocketwatch designed by Adam Huffman, which you provide a link to at http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2008/05/29/dandi-gentlemen-need-tech-too/ The issue that I have with this is that while it is a wonderful concept, and you do list that it is not a fully functional phone, you skip right over the fact that this is *only* a concept. The site that you found this on is a design concept site. It does provide some items that you can purchase, however, the Cobalt is not one of those items. No web search provides a means to purchase the Cobalt, and all other sites in a Google search accurately list the Cobalt as a "concept" or a "design", not as a viable product. Please ammend your article to present the information correctly. This is *not* a "Get Smart" phone that you can get now.
