    I don't see why Microsoft would buy minecraft for 2.5 billion. It's a good game for little kids and a good game to play when you're bored. I don't see why they would buy it when people don't really play it that much.

    nobody is going to buy that stupid car because it has a price range from 18-30k for a car that has a top speed of 40 mph

    Another tech company bought for billions of dollars--that's more than the GNP of some countries.

    Wifi in automobiles, is that really necessary or just another way for companies to get more money out of us?

    Microsoft coming out with Windows 9. I'm just getting used to Windows 8.

    I think that it is a good idea that cars have hotspots or wifi built in them. but then again it can be a distraction to the driver. Also Minecraft was not worth 2.5 billion.
