Aston Martin confirms DBX[^]
i just hope we never see Mr Bond in one. Though I know that’s probably the first thing they’ll do.

In summary, "Ick"!
Would Bond be carting around a soccer/football Mom and kids? Or, more likely, would he simply cart around extra cool gear, courtesy of Q?

Actually, I believe the next Bond is going to be a woman, so will Bond become a soccer mom?
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

I have no problem with that
... as long as he drives it out the back of say a spaceX just launched just before it leaves the atmosphere, it bounces off a mountain cliff, explodes on contact with the water below and what remains from that is crushed into a tiny ball as it sinks 7 miles to the bottom of the Mariana trench, leaving only a lone soccer ball and Everton shirt floating on the water.
OK, yeah, perhaps that's overdoing it a little bit, it's more likely to be Man-U.
(and anyway there's no mountains close enough to the Mariana for that to happen ...unless ...)

Don't worry. With a name like that, it'll lose out to the DOLBY C.

They are making it because there are people that would buy it. That's what makes me sad.
There are cars that I despice but still understand that they need to exist, like the people carrier. (I might even buy one myself out of pure actual need, and then roll up in a fetal position and weep a bit)
The four wheel drive pickup I can understand as well. If the owner lives off the grid on the country side.
But the SUV of today is one of the most pointless contraptions in existence. (Note, I don't think of Toyota Land Cruiser or LandRover Defender as SUVs, they are offroad vehicles)

I saw a documentary about Aston Martin, it seems to me they are only focusing on the sound that the doors make when slammed

They 'made' (AKA, badged up some one else's car) a small hatch some years back.
To do with the emissions of your range of cars, they had to add a small hatch back to counter ballance the others. Stupid EU laws.

A keyboard is worth spending money on!
Had a Logitech Wave (K350) for the longest time. Got tired of feeling like the keys were binding at an angle (although they worked with more pressure). Went to the office stores and tested all of theirs, then ran down to Fry's and found an Azio MK-RETRO-04 (non-backlit) one for $72. Pried open the box and tested it out, since the office stores didn't have any. Holy cow! I'd forgotten what it was like to glide type!
Sorry this sounds like a commercial! But to repeat myself, Holy Cow! Shouldn't have waited so long! Fingers are already starting to relax!
Happier coding shall now ensue!

Personally, I like the re-assurance of an ancient "clickety-click" keyboard that requires a multi-pound key press
Currently, rocking an antique Lenovo...purchased in 2012...
Amazon.com: Lenovo 73p5220 External Wired USB Preferred Pro USA Keyboard ( 41A5289, 89P8530): Electronics[^]
I'm flexible with any other tech, but my fingers simply learn keyboards...damned muscle memory...takes at least a week of effort to develop
Also, I despise wireless keyboards...too lazy to change the batteries...and I rarely wander too far from my primary gear.
That said, wireless mice...a whole different animal...the trailing wires get in my way...so, totally a wireless mouse fan.

The Azio definitely has that ancient 'clickety-clack'! Wonderful! My fingers just glide across the top of them, and it has enough feedback to put a smile on my face! Making fewer typing errors, and faster, too! (I'm only about 60 WPM, so not an old-school master.) It reminds me of the first generation of high quality keyboards on early computers, before we got the mushroom-pressing cheapness of all the others I played with today.
PS - had to get another USB hub for it, because it is wired, and my laptop is all plugged up!
PPS - It has round keys!

That does look like an awesome keyboard. I was tempted by the all black version, but a bit out of my price range. I am jealous
|

Fry's wanted $99 for that one, so I passed. It is classier, but this red on black is cool, and not too distracting.
If you are into Hi-Fi and have a Frys nearby, they were selling the Blue Sadie headphones for $250 instead of the $350 Amazon price. Amazing! They had them on display to listen to, and I was totally blown away. It might have only been the store near me, though, as they show online at $399.

Muscular Fingers - anything that has all the keys working is fine.
In a few minutes the fingers are adapted to the pressure and spacing. That being said, there are keyboards and there are Keyboards. A wireless keyboard/mouse set that cost US$15 feels like it (and I have one, but that system's rarely used).
Once above some minimum threshold, however, "It's All Good".

At least it looks easy to clean out from under the keys. Round keys would take some getting used to.
