This week: we take a look at the top story in the news, and the top story in the nerd news. Of course, there is Dilbert also.

When ever I open a newspaper these days, I can read about the Toyota Scandale, and while I must admit that cars that suddenly jams the accelerator is a big problemTime - Prius out of control, it's getting a little over the top as usual in the media. The biggest problem is that it is the Prius, you really can't hear it coming. For all of us that don't have a Prius, we can test one in the official Toyota Prius Simulator. Yes, it is a smooth ride.

These problems are massive, and are really making an impact on the biggest brand in the car industry. Naturally people are worried that their car will suddenly accelerate uncontrollably up to 160 km/h. But I think I might have the solution, it's very simple, I have not tested it, but:

Put the car in neutral!

This should stop you from accelerating surely?! Maybe it's a naive thought, but it makes sense to me.

Now the nerd news. We all now that is zetta, and is yotta, but the discussion about what to call is currently raging. On the internet, a campaign has started that wants the followingTimes - Hellabytes?:

= hella

How fun wouldn't it be to sit around while doing some calculation, and saying:

-What did you get?
-8.3 hellavolts.

I think this is a good idea. Join the facebook-groupFacebook-page - Hella!





Happy


PI day!
