New BMW X1 Cute Ute Spotted on the Nurburgring
Motor Authority reports that a new, smaller Bavarian SUV has been caught running the 'Ring. And they're doing so with a straight face (BMW, not the Australian bloggers). Based on the 1-Series (not our favorite Bimmer), the X1 will be smaller than the X3. Uglier too, which is quite an impressive feat. The X1 will borrow design cues from the sleek CS Concept, including the big flat nostrils, headlights and an "aggressive bumper" (whatever that may mean). The X1 will not only be more expensive than the 1-Series (gulp), it will share many parts with the upcoming MINI Cooper SUV in order to reduce costs. You can also order your X1 with a 145 hp 1.8-liter four-banga or a 3.0-liter diesel, though probably not here. Look for your daughter's best friend to be driving an X1 xDrive35i to the prom in 2009.Read More...

For What We've Paid for the Iraq War the U.S. Could've Bought...
...Google+Microsoft+Intel. In other words, the U.S. government has shoveled the equivalent of the entire core of the tech industry into Iraq. The Web is starting to bubble with interesting conversation about the cost of the war and how that money could've been otherwise spent. This has been touched off by government figures that show the U.S. has appropriated $523 billion for the war -- and the book The Three Trillion Dollar War, by Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes. As you might guess, the book says the war's real cost to the U.S. alone is more like $3 trillion. (The authors point out that for that, we could've given every one of the 24 million pre-war Iraqis a check for $250,000, essentially buying the country's allegiance one person at a time.)
Whatever figure you pick -- $523 billion or $3 trillion -- the obvious point is that the money could've been invested in technology that would do far more to secure the nation's future. Like, what if that had been spent on building nuclear power plants and electric cars? Could the U.S. have vastly accelerated its independence from Middle East oil? Not to mention what that would do for global warming. The latest Wired argues that nukes are the only way to save the planet.
It's all a moot point, of course. The investment opportunity is gone, the money dispersed to military personnel, defense contractors and all that. (As if, just coming off Memorial Day, the dollars even matter compared to the loss of life and other casualties.) But the debate needs to happen. Maybe it will help encourage better decisions going forward, and it's an interesting question of whether new technology can sometimes solve the same problem as a war.
