Yeah, it turned out great! I had to double the amount of wasabi -- American recipes are so bland -- to even taste it. But the whole meal was a great success.

Now that the news that the Apple iCar has been leaked, a few unsurprising details have emerged of what the total-automotive-experience a la Mac will be:
1. A Hybrid incorporating a special type of Electrical energy code-named "Shazam" which will use a unique phase-modulation rendering it incompatible with any existing current electrical voltage/frequency specification. Re-charging will require purchase of the very expensive home-unit, the "AppStation Home," or driving into the all-glass Apple branded service-stations code-named "iGasms." The special batteries will not be replaceable, and are permanently bonded/welded to the frame.
2. The internal-combustion component of the engine will use a special form of Methanol produced from GMO corn, code-named, of course, iGas. It will only be available at iGasm stations; it's price will be tagged to some integer multiple of the current per-gallon rate for oil refined from Brent Blend North Sea Crude (think expensive, very expensive). This engine cannot be repaired, only replaced under AppleCare Warranty under limited circumstances. Only Apple iGasm stations will have the special tools required to even change the engine-oil.
3. There will be no user-serviceable parts, automotive, mechanical, electrical, electronic in the entire vehicle.
4. The first models will sell for roughly the price of an entry-level Rolls-Royce, and will have an estimated lifetime before batteries wear out of one year. Over the usual ten-year product cycle there will be numerous "improved" models put on the market, each with "killer features:" none of these features can be retrofitted to any previous model.
While these rumors seem common enough to give them some creedence, I must discount the strange talk about direct vehicle-to-driver body/blood/brain interaction being whispered about. And, that speculation about Siri driving the vehicle: well, I think that's just too far-fetched; the lawyers would never allow that.
The idea that Apple will market this vehicle's "first edition" only in states in the U.S. that legalize cannabis: that's ridiculous.
«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

I hear that the Microsoft one will be modular, with the modules linked by braids containing minimal functionality.
i.e. baby blocks tied together with ribbons.
And the Android one will be great, until you suddenly find that the wheels are all different sizes, and the seats have been moved to the outside of the car.

Yes, but closing all windows and then restarting will probably still work.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

"Brake" is not responding. Do you want to continue waiting until it is available?

No sweat as long as your ejection seat drivers are installed and ready.

2.1 was, then 2.4 was a humvee, 3.2 was a land rover, and 4.2 was a bubble car.

And 5.0 is a Renault Twizy.

Precisely.
You can be half way to work, and suddenly find yourself driving a completely different car.

If you're unlucky.

And if you get your iCar wet, it voids all warranties...

That's the Russian area version.

Not in the US.
The US version will crash and burn if the user himself has any creativity in how he does things.
But that's always been a problem with the iCar US.
