..."more user-friendly"

Bah... I don't generally listen to little birdies on the internet anyway, but even if this is true, I'm not all that excited. "More user friendly" equals less geek-friendly, less hackable, less upgradable. All of the things that SB sees as "problems" with the empeg/riocar product are the things that I cherish about it.

The way I see it, the empeg is almost immune to planned obsolescence... Who needs another car product?
