On Wednesday Microsoft and Toyota teamed up to create an advanced digital information and communication system. The system will cost up toward 12 Million but unlike competitors (OnStar) Toyota's new system will be unique; The system is for electric and plug-in hybrid cars.The cars will also charge in an eco friendly manner which will be most cost efficient for the user and reduces the need for fossil fuel. Do you feel that more car companies need to focus their attention on hybrid cars?

Also how do you feel Toyota or Microsoft will be effected due to this partnership?

In Responce To: Many Discounts, Few Deals - Jackie Bunker

Do you think you are ever fooled by discounts or BOGO prices? Do you ever think that the deals are actually legitimate and not all sales are trying to "trick" us?

I am sure I have been fooled by "Sale" prices before. I work at a retail sports store and some  the so called sales are ludicrous. Most large items; Treadmills, elliptical, etc have a MSRP Price which is completely irrelevant. We well a machine MSRP Priced at 1999.99 for a price of 999.99; A THOUSAND DOLLAR SAVINGS!!!. Well that's what they say but the mark up on the machine is still extremely high.

Sad, but true.
