Not at all.

The annual dog licenses sold in Butler County have decreased in number with the increased popularity of identifying a dog by implanting a microchip, as reported in the Jan. 14 Butler Eagle.
However, dog owners still must purchase a Pennsylvania/Butler County dog license as required by law.
At one time, Butler County's annual license sales were more than 28,000, but that number has decreased because of the marketing of microchipping.
In mid-December, the Butler County Treasurer's Office sent its annual dog license renewal reminders for 2013 dog licenses. License sales in 2012 totaled 25,222, with 4,577 of those by way of online sales.
So far in 2013, 12,000 dog licenses have been sold, with 2,322 online sales.
Among the 2013 licenses sold to date have been more than 100 lifetime licenses. In 2012, lifetime licenses increased 27.5 percent, with a record number of 673 licenses issued.
Lifetime licenses cost between $21.45 and $51.45; annual dog licenses cost between $4.45 and $8.45.
Dog owners in Butler County have looked for a renewal in their mailboxes the past 11 years. The mailing originates in the county treasurer's office, but is paid for by the Dog Law Enforcement Office in Harrisburg.
In 2009, the treasurer's office started offering online license sales. Online customers receive an email reminder to purchase their new dog licenses instead of the paper reminder.
By law, the treasurer's office is mandated to be the administrator of all dog license sales in the county. As administrator, the treasurer has the authority to identify and partner with sub-agents located within the county to broaden the dog license distribution system.
This county has 11 sub-agents located throughout the county selling dog licenses.
The Butler Eagle's Jan. 14 front-page article stressed the importance of having a dog properly identified to help ensure its safe return, if the dog is lost or separated from its owner. And, indeed, everyone in the treasurer's office can attest to the importance of having a properly licensed dog.
The treasurer's office maintains a complete file of all dog licenses issued going back to 2002. Through these records, the treasurer's office helps lost and reported dogs be reunited with their owners throughout this county.
People whose dog has a microchip but does not have a current Butler County dog tag should get in touch with the treasurer's office at 724-284-5149, or access the county website at www.co.butler.pa.us. The website has detailed information on dog licensing and sub-agent locations where licenses can be purchased.
Lifetime licenses are issued only through the treasurer's office.

Cabo San Lucas
Earth : North America : Mexico : Baja California : Baja California Sur : Cabo San Lucas
Cabo San Lucas is a city at the far end of Baja California Sur, Mexico.
Cabo is a varied destination that captures the essence of Baja Peninsula in its many resorts, championship golf courses, world-class dining and amazing outdoor activities.
Cabo San Lucas is a bustling hub for sport fishermen, cruise ships, handicraft vendors, water sport aficionados and nightlife seekers. The area is considered the second fastest growing resort destination in all of Mexico and particularly busy with visitors during the winter high season, November to February. With some of the best all-around sport fishing in the world and every water sport imaginable, Cabo is the ultimate destination for travelers looking for outdoor adventure.
There are three districts in "Cabo":
By night, Cabo San Lucas is one of the hottest party towns in North America with a glittering nightlife and a plethora of dining options that make energetic Cabo San Lucas an all-time favorite. Also called Cabo San "Loco" or just plain "Cabo", the town's reputation as the wild party center of the Baja Peninsula has brought fame and infamy to its many bars and nightclubs.
Get in
Flight is the preferred means of traveling to Cabo. The regional airport, Los Cabos International Airport (IATA: SJD), (624) 146-5111, is located outside of San Jose del Cabo and will take approximately 30-45 minutes to travel to Cabo San Lucas.
For General Aviation or Private Jets, Terminal 2 is used. It has 14 gates: 7-20. Air taxi and air charter companies such as Jetset Charter [36] fly a variety of private charter aircraft and jets, from charter luxury Gulfstream's down to economical piston twins for small groups and individuals.
All the major American airlines fly to the airport, as well as, Aereo Calafia, Aeromexico, Alaska Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Interjet, Mexicana, Volaris and the Canadian Air Transat & WestJet.
If you plan on arriving to Cabo via plane, a transfer bus is the cheapest method to get to your hotel if you do not plan on renting a car. A reservation for a transfer can be made before arrival and is significantly cheaper than a taxi. There are buses at the airport charging per person for a ride to the resorts of Cabo which can be had with out prior reservation.
Get around
Taxis are readily available and rates are negotiable.
One of the best and most exciting ways to travel around Cabo is to rent a BMW motorcycle. Cabo BMW Rentals rents BMW motorcycles as well as scooters and they will provide helmets. You can ride north out of the tropics to Los Barriles which is a great stop for a bite to eat or walk on the beach. It's called the "Cabo Loop" which consists of a 200 mile paved ride, starting in Cabo San Lucas and going through the larger cities of San José del Cabo, Los Barriles, Todos Santos and returns to Cabo San Lucas.
There are many car rental agencies in Los Cabos, most of which have names familiar to travelers in the Americas. If you are staying in a villa or plan on many day-trips that are not covered by a resort or timeshare shuttle, then a rental will likely be the most cost effective.
Filled with natural landmarks and a number of prominent monuments, the city of Cabo San Lucas has plenty of character, particularly around its coastline. From January to March, a must see is the whales, they come to Cabo during this period of time and many boats can take you out to sea to watch them. In early March, they are literally as common as squirrels.
Scuba Diving & Watersports
Scuba diving Is especially good in Cabo, because you can watch the sandfalls under the water. It is an amazing spectacle provided by nature. If you are looking for something more relaxed perhaps you want to go to Lover's Beach or to one of the multiple romantic restaurants in Cabo. Cabo is also a good surfing destination, since many of the beaches on the east cape road pick up the southern swells. The beaches are accessible through the coastal road on the way to cabo pulmo. Particularly, shipwrecks beach is a favorite spot during the summer months,.
Cabo is known around the world as a top fishing destination. The meeting of the waters of the Pacific ocean and the Sea of Cortez creates a nutrient rich environment where sport fish thrive.

[alt text: Took me five tries to find the right one, but I managed to salvage our night out--if not the boat--in the end.]
I bet Randy was all sitting pretty on his little shrine to Carl and the rest of the loyal commentariat here at "We Aren't Exceptionally Fond Of The Webcomic XKCD." I imagine he said to himself (because he has no friends, and the silence has driven him to talking to himself), "That beautiful, sexy fiend Carl 'Randall Munroe' Wheeler has finally given up! Now I will produce the worst possible comic right after his final post, and he can't do anything about it!"
Well guess what, motherfucker? I AM NOT LETTING YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS ONE.
Now, I don't want to be unfair to Randy. Maybe he has a terrible fever which is warping his brain and will leave him with permanent damage. Perhaps Megan has finally started poisoning his coffee. I don't know what's going on in his personal life, and I don't want to just assume that psychosis hasn't started setting in yet. We don't have all the information.
But those are the only valid excuses for this comic.
My first reaction to this one went something like "uh, what the fuck?" I kept reading it, over and over again, trying to figure out what the hell he thinks might be funny about this one. I've come to a couple conclusions actually! There are multiple points where Randy thinks he's being funny, and the aggregate forms a sort of extra-terrible joke.
First, this is another attempt to tell a joke by suggesting that something funny happened, without actually showing us that funny thing. "Bolt cutters, Wolf Blitzer's boathouse, vodka, black hat guy. DO THE MATH, PEOPLE!!!" This is, of course, the paragon of laziness, but it works well for the Pavlovian fuckwits that worship Randy.
Second, he attempts to derive humor from the HILARIOUSLY INAPPROPRIATE play on "when all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like nails." Get it? He replaced "hammer" and "nails" with different objects! GET IT??? IT WAS FUNNY.
Third, the punchline in no way follows the setup. Randy was here going for a hilarious nonsequitur, because all humor is unexpected and blah blah blah fuck you. It ended up with the shit you see now: two unconnected scenes. In one, a man is complaining about Java. In the other, a man is talking about how he stole Wolf Blitzer's boat.
Fourth, of course, we have references. Randy's author insertion character complains about Java, which many nerds will automatically laugh at. Black hat guy references Wolf Blitzer, of whom many nerds will have heard. The latter reference is of the "LOL THAT'S SO RANDOM" variety. The former is of the "OMG I ALSO HATE JAVA" variety.
The result, as you can plainly see, is just fucking stupid.
Was there really a time when Randy could write jokes with clever subversions? It seems so remote and distant now, like maybe my mind just made it all up. Is this really what Randy has become?
I said in the last comment thread that I could probably continue the blog here if the desire was there. I don't want to push the blog past its expiration date, though, so I'm content to let it be--but if you lot want the blog to continue under the far more talented and corpulent hand of yours truly, you need only say so, and I might pay attention.
I'd say it's been a pleasure but we all know that's a lie. I hate every last one of you and interacting with you is a godawful nightmare. It's bad enough reading XKCD all the time to bring you wretched monsters some cheap laughs. Reading your comments every day was very nearly intolerable. Since the blog is no more, I don't mind revealing that the only reason I continued to post here is as a punishment from the gods.
Fuck you all. You have no redeeming qualities. Good night.

Seems to me you're just fucking with us; "Oooh, I made a new blog because I'm emo and I need attention", so we all ship ourselves over to your new blog, re-jigger our feeds and create new interweb personae to bait you with. Now you're all like "Hahaha, Bitches! I'm still posting here! AND YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN KNOW!", which frankly, is just rude.ReplyDelete
Seems to me this could have been a perfectly valid post on your new site - something to keep the regulars from feeling like they'd been abandoned, vaguely in-line with the MO of the site and yet SCATHINGLY ACCURATE, ALL AT THE SAME TIEM!!12!one.
Let's be honest, you're still hanging around here like a bad smell because, now that you have a big-boy's blog that's all wordpress and shit, you're suffering from PERFORMANCE ANXIETY like a little bitch.
Well, Just SUCK IT UP, abandon this shit-heap of a monument to your self-inflicted vitriolic rage and start a new shiny blog that's all about rainbows and faggy webcomics that probably no-one reads (I mean, come on! Penny Arcade? who the fuck reads that?).
Or something.
Thank you for your time.

What's depressing is that this is the style of humour of the old xkcd, but with less esoteric references (at least insofar that people who shouldn't get the joke will at least recognise that Java and guy whose name I've already forgotten are recognised by nerds, rather than the old ones where you wouldn't notice a joke if you didn't get it).ReplyDelete
It's all horrible.

I did get some use out of this comic. I work in software engineering, and we have a guy here who will do exactly this - he tries to write everything in the one programming language he knows, regardless of whether it makes sense for the task. I printed the first two panels and stuck them up on his cube wall.ReplyDelete
Just the first two, though. That last panel is just a complete train wreck. Nobody needs to see that.
- Daniel ReamOctober 5, 2010 at 8:10 AM
I will say this, skimmng this comic lightly the first time I mis-read the punchline as "...Wolf Blitzer's bathhouse", which does make the comic somewhat funnier.ReplyDelete
While Carl is merely ugly, Rob has no life and is also fatter than a whale, which means he has more to be angry about and thus his angry rants against Randall "Cockbag" Munroe are in fact angrier.ReplyDelete

Would you guys stop it with the stupid fucking "lol randall is ugly stupid and has no life" jokes? Honest to God, you're worse than the XKCD comics themselves. You complain about Randall overusing material, but in reviews like these, and several comments, this kind of joke is told to death. Grow up, for God's sake.ReplyDelete
On the comic itself: It wasn't very good. Despite the reviewer's third grade insults, the core of it was true.
- AnonymousOctober 5, 2010 at 3:34 PM

How are overused/childish jokes about Randall, a guy most of you (obviously including me) haven't met relevant and pertinent information?
From what I can tell, this blog is supposed to be about giving harsh criticism for a comic. Which is fine-criticism is good. But when it comes to the criticism being speckled with idiotic, unfunny jokes, I don't find it entertaining in the slightest.
- AnonymousOctober 5, 2010 at 4:31 PM
Also, I'm not saying we should treat Randy like a baby. He's a man-he can handle criticism, I would think.ReplyDelete
But as I said, this wasn't very good criticism. The main point of the review was, but with the "lol randy iz stoopid/haz no lief" jokes it ruined it for me.
actually that was the punchline of the introductory paragraph, and you could argue that it was the point of the paragraph where I imply that the only legitimate reason to write a comic so bad is that something is adversely affecting your brain function (like a high fever or poison in your coffee). but I guess if you only read those two you could say it was the point of the entire review?ReplyDelete
I disagree, forgettable anon cuddlefish. I believe it amplifies the humor immeasurably to have the reviewer constantly taking cheap shots at Randall out of the side of his mouth throughout the entire review.ReplyDelete

I am going with "functionally illiterate" for the cuddlefish on the basis that they expect fair treatment from a blog titled "xkcdsucks". Or maybe they are actually missing the part of their brains that makes connections? I mean, Randall does spell out his jokes very much -- perhaps he is creating an endemic. Or worse, CODDLING an endemic population.ReplyDelete
Yeah, who are we kidding? Missing social cues? Feel the need to tell someone [via an anonymous blog post] that they are incorrect? Just don't seem to "Get" their peers' behaviours, while insisting their raison d'etre is still as valid as it was years before?
This is the audience to which Randall "love-is-great-when-I-get-it" Monroe panders. Randall is not creating the problem, he is merely profiting from it.
Also, keep up the good work, Rob! Your secret identity is safe with me so long as you don't go Carl on us and demand your own blog -- we won't follow you there [not for lack of failing to see where you've gone, naturally, because it is impossible to miss that sort of elephant leaving the room. If you know what I mean].
Ugh, #802 disappointed me. I went straight to MMO Isle expecting a tiny "FFXI HD Beta Phase 5" because Final Fantasy XIV is pretty damn disappointing.ReplyDelete
The amount in which FF14 pisses me off is like a tenth of the amount in which Randall pisses me off, which says a lot. It's also saying a lot considering I loved FF11 and I actually paid money for 14 and not for xkcd.
I just really hate Randall.

most of all, it's actually quite interesting because it's a cool contrast to his previous map. it shows the vastness of facebook's growth, among other things. sometimes i forget that it's not 10 or 20 years ago, back when the internet was a place for the geeks to go, and it's fairly frightening to see the result of the new widespread use of the internet that facebook's growth represents.

The new big map poster is missing a compass. The first incarnation of this idea had north/south representing technical knowledge, and east/west representing internet obsession, or some such, giving each territory a logical place on the map. This new incarnation lacks a similar overarching concept that would tie it all together. Nevertheless, it's quite a good map, and I found the Farmville fact mildly interesting.ReplyDelete
Self-awareness of xkcd's silliness and meme obsession would likely result in the actual end-of-the-xkcdsucks-as-we-know-it.ReplyDelete
How accurate is this thing really? Particularly with regard to foreign language sites. There are a bunch of Chinese sites, but many countries/languages don't have any representation. He's got wizaz.pl fokt.nl and bokt.nl; Poland and the Netherlands are ranked #23 and #31 for internet users. Surely there are forums that are popular with the 99 million Japanese (#3) users of the internet, 75 million Brazilians (#5), and 68 million Mexicans (#6). I do realize some of the social networking sites he shows that aren't so popular here are popular in other countries (e.g., Orkut/Brazil), but still; where are the foreign blogs and forums?ReplyDelete
I remember a news story from a few years back about a Chinese site becoming the #1 blog on the internet (I believe it was taking over that position from Boing-Boing). There aren't any Chinese blogs shown.
It mostly seems to be showing sites Randall is familiar with, rather than the whole internet, especially when it gets down to the smaller ones. There must be hundreds of sites not shown that receive as much activity as the Wikipedia talk pages.
I'm fine with him including #xkcd for vanity purposes, but does it really get half as much traffic as Wikipedia Talk? Or as much traffic as Huffington post, as its size would suggest?

This comic could've been relatively okay if the "very wrong" one wasn't such a total non-sequitur.
Also, it's yet another comic that feels like he wrote it after reading Wikipedia. And another one that aims at a GOOMHR reaction, because correcting their teachers is something that the XKCD-reading demographic is likely to have done (I know I did).

xkcd #803 is...
...Is Randall even trying to make his comics coherent anymore? I was so confused as to what was going on in the first panel because the intro text and the teacher's text looked like they were both part of the graph. Then you get the awkward "Santa Claus is your parents." At first I thought it was some attempt at some weird joke that I did not get, but then I realized it was simply a "Santa Claus is not real" joke. What? Really? How do people act this guy like he is the paragon intellectual comedy when his humour can be processed by a pre-school jock?
Also, for a pedantic, obsessive-compulsive freak, Randall sure does love disgustingly asymmetrical comics. (Then again, I have an OCD so maybe that is why I find his comics like this so damn hideous.)

@Evln: I know. I don't really know why I do that. I guess I wasn't sure what to put when I first posted (sometime ago; I've posted under various names because I cannot think of what to stick with), so I put in a random website (I believe it was a blog post about this guy I knew who was accused of something with his own students), but then it sort of became like a couch gag of sorts.

When you try to order the new poster, the default is the "Poster Pack" for $5 extra which includes the older map of the internet as well as the newer one. So if you want JUST the new map, you have to recognize that this isn't what you're buying and switch it. Sort of like his "Radiohead style" thing.
Anonymouse: This site is blowing my mind.
- FemalethothOctober 8, 2010 at 4:22 PM
New comic is annoying. I would be interested in learning about the actual reason an airplane's wing works. However, classrooms have a finite amount of time. They cannot handle every long digression suggested by a student. Teachers cannot derail the entire lecture just because one student is ahead of the class. So to say that it's wrong for the teacher to recognize the true complexity of the picture, but also pragmatically realize that she can't simply ignore every other student in favor of some inquisitive guy, is tremendously egotistical. "Pander to me, educational system! Fuck everyone who doesn't immediately grasp everything!"ReplyDelete
And, of course, the alt-text is worse. "Parents should inculcate inquisitiveness and alertness in their children" is more or less fine; "Parents should coach their children so they can trip up their teachers and reveal the inadequacies of the school system" is just dickery.
- AnonymouseOctober 8, 2010 at 4:27 PM
I guess I never really wanted to be recognized by you people. :P
And I never was a cuddlefish, really. I only know of xkcd because I kept seeing it in people's forum signatures plus I liked that "Someone is wrong on the Internet" one, so I decided to see what the big deal was. After seeing the "professions by purity" one, the horrid art*, and the earlier strips which actually showed potential, I decided the comic needed to join my list of "SHIT THAT IS EXTREMELY POPULAR YET COMPLETELY TERRIBLE; I DO NOT HATE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE POPULAR NOR BECAUSE THEY ARE AWFUL, BUT RATHER BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH AND I CANNOT AVOID THEM NO MATTER WHERE I GO SO IT'S NOT LIKE I'M GOING OUT OF MY WAY TO HATE THEM SO DON'T SAY 'WELL JUST DON'T WATCH/READ THEM IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM'". It is accompanied by post-cancellation Family Guy and Jersey Shore.
*Fun Fact: The 2 art details that really pissed me off and inspired me to see if I was alone in disliking the strip were the ugly ass chairs and the fact that, at first, I thought the usual brunette stick figure was a hip guy with long hair. (You see, I thought the strip had a recurring cast: Baldie, Long-haired Guy, Blonde, and some people with hats.) Needless to say, I was confused when some awkward nerd romance was going on between Baldie and Long-haired Guy.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
"[...] believing Randy to be a corporate whore. I don't even have anything against XKCD anymore, it's mostly the image he's projecting."ReplyDelete
I've enough against XKCD without that. Like, shitty illustrated throwaway memes and references. I.e. 80% of all recent XKCD "comics".
"And I never was a cuddlefish, really."
You, by definition, are one as soon as you post here as anon. (See in the Frequently Asked Awesome Questions to the left.)
"[...], at first, I thought the usual brunette stick figure was a hip guy with long hair."
An interesting take.
"Not that there's anything wrong with that."
I would think so!
Anyone else got the impression I'm writing so much I could as well take over the blog?
You really can't escape xkcd no matter how hard you try. Even if I never visited the site, a good example is the other day on a forum I go to where someone posted a thread about why no one takes time travelers seriously. It was a picture of someone telling people in the 1950s about people putting up their breakfasts on Twitter and Facebook and having others comment on it.ReplyDelete
And then someone posted that fucking "You're about to have an idea for a time machine!" comic.
I responded by posting the edited version "You're about to have an idea for the funniest comic ever, Randall!"
I was glad to see that people found the edited version to be much funnier than Randall's.

- AnonymousOctober 8, 2010 at 8:39 PM
Corporate: Belonging to Corporations. "Randall is a Corporate Whore [[the whore who has sold himself to Corporate America]]". I don't even know how that phrase got started, but the meaning of "Red" does not at all affect the phrase "Red Herring", does it?ReplyDelete

The stark color of the proverbial red herring makes it stand out, attracting attention.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 9, 2010 at 2:43 AM
Actually "red herring" is a mishearing* of "read herring", which refers to Dolcemi's 1667 play "Il Torado", or, more specifically, the 1860 translation into English thereof by John Buke. While it isn't really a detective story - they didn't have detective story in the 1660s, remember - there is some rudimentary attempt at misleading the characters/audience as to the true identity of - well, that would be spoiling it, wouldn't it? But one of the (hideously obvious to a modern viewer, if a shocking twist to the Victorians) fake clues is a herring with the name "BEN" scraped into the scales.ReplyDelete

Well, I was stretching further than I needed to anyways -- the word Corporate in "Corporate whore" retains the meaning "belonging to the Corporation [hyperbolically]". Fun fact though.ReplyDelete

A red herring is a kipper cooked in a certain way that makes it turn red.

Seriously, it wasn't really. The people were dumb.ReplyDelete

Nissan is a Japanese automaker known for its aggressive styling and sporty performance. The company began in 1933 under the name Jidosha Seizo Company, Ltd. but became Nissan Motors after merging with another Japanese manufacturing company the following year. In 1934, Nissan brought vehicles to market through the Datsun brand, which it had acquired several years earlier and began to build its market presence until World War II. Then the company built trucks, engines, and airplanes for the Japanese military.
Nissan After World War II
After the war and in the early 1950s, Nissan formed a partnership with the British engine manufacturer Austin Motor Company in order to access cutting-edge engine and automotive designs. Austin Motor Company later became the British Motor Corporation. In 1952, the two companies reached an agreement in which Nissan would assemble Austin automobiles from imported parts and sell them in Japan under the Austin brand. After three years, Nissan made all Austin parts domestically and sold the Japanese Austins to the national market. The partnership also gave Nissan rights to access Austin patents, a position that Nissan used to refine and improve its own Datsun engines.
Nissan in America
In the 1950s, Nissan management saw an opportunity to market its line of smaller Datsun vehicles in international markets like the United States. In 1958, The first Nissan vehicle to come to America was the Datsun 1000. Built around an Austin framework., the 1000 was showcased at the 1959 Los Angeles Auto Show, an appearance that generated a few American sales that year. Also, in 1959, the company started a U.S. subsidiary named Nissan Motor Corporation.
In the early 1960s, Nissan developed its first vehicle for the American market: the Datsun 510 sedan. In 1966, the company merged with Prince Motor Company, a move that pushed Nissan's vehicles in a more luxury-oriented direction. By the end of the decade, Nissan had exported over one million Datsun automobiles.
In the 1970s, the Datsun brand gained notoriety through the popularity of the 240Z, a sports car with a six-cylinder engine. The car was renowned for its combination of value, design, and speed. During the oil crisis of 1973, consumers everywhere began to look for small economy cars that used little fuel. This demand pushed Nissan to build new Datsun factories in Australia, Mexico, South Africa, and Taiwan. At the end of the 1970s, Nissan had cumulatively exported over ten million Datsuns.
In 1981, Nissan threw out the Datsun name and began selling its automobiles under the Nissan brand. Around the same time, the company began building manufacturing plants in the U.S. as a response to the "Chicken Tax" that imposed a 25 percent duty on imported commercial vans. Also in the 1980s, Nissan introduced a racetuning division called NISMO, short for Nissan Motorsports, which focused on high-performance vehicles. The NISMO division still exists.
Nissan began the 1990s by releasing several models to the U.S. market such as the Maxima, Sentra, and 300ZX. This move caused sales to increase substantially. However, toward the end of the decade, Nissan models became more generic and unappealing to American consumers and the company saw sales drop. In 1999, Nissan formed an alliance with French automaker Renault to relieve some of its financial woes and for a strategic position. Nissan redesigned the Sentra and Altima, which became popular among consumers. Later, an initiative called the "Nissan Revival Plan" (NRP) set targets for sales and operating margins in an attempt to bring the company back to prominence. The program was hugely successful and, today, the Nissan brand is associated with quality, design, and value in America.
Nissan Models
Nissan offers a wide array of automobile models for consumers. The Nissan Altima is the midsize sedan and offers several sub-models and optional upgrades, including a hybrid. The Maxima is a more luxurious full-size sedan, while the Nissan Sentra and Versa are economical compact sedans and hatchbacks with great fuel economy.
For those looking for utility, Nissan offers pickup trucks (the small Frontier and full-size Titan) and several crossovers and SUVs (Cube, Juke, Rogue, Murano, Xterra, Pathfinder, and Armada). The Nissan Quest is a feature-packed minivan, the Juke is a new fuel efficient crossover, and the Cube is a fully customizable crossover similar to the Scion xB.
For the sports enthusiast, the Nissan 370Z coupe and convertibles are available with a lot of speed and style, while the GT-R supercar competes with high-end sports cars from all over the world. The Nissan Leaf is driven on pure electricity with no gas required. With its wide range of vehicles, there is something for everyone in the Nissan line of cars.
Popular Nissan Products and Technologies
Nissan is known for the quality of its VQ six-cylinder, an engine that was repeatedly named one of the world's best. The company's NISMO racing division has a reputation of speed and performance among the tuning community. Recently, Nissan gained tremendous popularity as a result of the launch of the Leaf, the first pure electric vehicle to hit the market in over a decade. Vehicle such as the Leaf and the Altima Hybrid have garnered Nissan an image of environmental awareness.

Microsoft has just made it official, the Surface Pro (starting at $899) will go on sale Saturday, February 9th online, in Microsoft Stores, Staples and Best Buy.
Featuring a Core i5 or Core i7 Intel processor (according to Cnet) with either 64GB or 128GB of storage, the high-end device with a 1080P display wont come with a Touch or Type Pad, requiring an extra purchase. However, users will get the pressure sensitive pen for note taking.
Originally expected at the end of January, the Surface Pro was bumped back a few weeks due possibly to the new CPU taking longer for production. Although the Surface Pro is slightly larger than its RT sibling, it's expected to be much more powerful and geared towards those in business or with more professional needs.
Microsoft has set up a "Help me choose" comparison chart on their site to better explain the differences between the RT and Pro versions, highlighting their core differences.
