SPENGLER : Coming 'crash' will end in a snooze
SPENGLER : Coming 'crash' will end in a snooze: No trade has lost more money for more people than the Japanese government debt crash that never happened. Likewise, as alarm bells ring over America's burgeoning public debt, nothing is going to crash there. The Japanese experience shows the big sleep can continue for a remarkably long time - and unlike Japan, the US is not about to run out of savers anytime soon. (Apr 8, '13)

In most movies, the creepy ex-boyfriend would be an ominous antagonist, or even a supporting character. But in Antonio Campos' eerie thriller, the spotlight is all on the titular nutcase.

Venice Carnival 2013 #10
Venice Carnival 2013 #10: 
Here's another shot from our Venice Carnival Photo Tour earlier this year, and I was going to post this one on Monday – to coincide with the public launch of our 2014 tour – but I'm putting it up today because we've almost sold out: there are just two places left out of a maximum of 12!

Picture This, Baltimore 2013
Picture This, Baltimore 2013: We want to see how you spent the first day of spring. If you have a camera or a cell phone with a camera, we want to see what you see -- the places you go, the people you meet and whatever else you encounter.

Koenigsegg CEO Believes Camshafts will go Away in a Decade's Time
Koenigsegg CEO Believes Camshafts will go Away in a Decade's Time:
In an interview with Jalopnik, Koenigsegg CEO, Christian von Koenigsegg, presented his opinion about the future of automobile engines. Currently, almost every automobile engine uses a camshaft or multiple camshafts to open and close the intake and exhaust valves.
According to Koenigsegg, however, camshafts will be gone in the next decade, or so. He said that his company has been testing a new cam-less engines for quite some time now and that many other companies are also looking for other alternatives. Fiat, for example, is developing electro-hydraulic variable valve actuation technology in its Multiair engines.
We’re not too sure when new prototypes using the new cam-less technology will start seeing use, but according to him a decade seems like a tight deadline. We are all for new technology, but electronic valve actuation and other cam-free technology just seem like expensive ventures to take. But, we’re not engineers, so what do we know?
