hi i'm molly wood and welcome to the buzz report this week Microsoft and Yahoo break up I am apparently safe from sharks and Brian Cooley returns but first it's the gadget of the week the gadget of the week is the HTC touch diamond it's pretty much sex on a cell phone 3g touch screen windows mobile 6.1 built-in Wi-Fi Bluetooth and integrated GPS integrated GPS a 3.2 megapixel camera and no availability in the u.s. until the second half of the year at least but you see until a 3g iphone is released this is all we have to get excited about you know I'm saying and now for the news break up unless you live under a rock you know that Microsoft walked away from that who to yahoo never to return Microsoft is all you're too difficult maybe I don't want to rush into anything with you anyway and Yahoo was like good jerk no means no and Microsoft was like fine good luck doing any better and Yahoo is all Nene and Yahoo's friends were all shareholder lawsuit and if any of you still care just go to news com but trust me on this one thing Microsoft will be back in news that is awesome this week scientists say they may have figured out how to safely repel sharks biologists have been testing small discs made out of a rare metal alloy called palladium neodymium when the metal interacts with seawater it produces an electric field that's so far makes sharks stay away the scientists hoped that the disks will work in open water and could eventually help prevent sharks from getting caught in fishing nets I am hoping they will work well in open water and will soon be embedded in the swimsuits that are sold at Old Navy okay let's have a quick look at what's clogging the tubes this week it's the Empire Strikes Barack even as we speak there though okay yeah right everybody's supposed to get a Hillary Obama campaign so look at this okay I think that's a pretty appropriate way to introduce Brian Cooley and this week's installment of what the hell with Brian Cooley amazing many car engines today put out 300 400 500 horsepower what the hell is that in this dawning era of four-dollar gas we're all in a snit the car makers haven't engineered more efficient cars but they have in the last 35 years cars have become vastly more efficient at generating power from a gallon of gas but like a badly run company very little of that has dropped to the bottom line we know as mpg instead we have cars that are much bigger much heavier and much faster admirable engineering stupid end result pulling a 40 300-pound cadillac SRX from 0 to 60 and 6.2 is primarily penis enhancement look I'm a car nut and I have a showrooms worth of late 60s big blocks at home but that was them we just can't not along any more dutifully impressed each time a car maker increases horsepower while fuel economy basically stagnates I mean talk about mission creep the honda accord debuted with 68 horsepower and schooled the industry for a decade before it ever had a hundred all while being more fun to drive than almost anything else that was on the market today the most popular record has 268 horsepower and you can damn near fit a 76 in the trunk of an 08 look car makers have reams of market research that tells them we look down our noses at appropriately powered appropriately sized vehicles so you're in the driver's seat on this one I'm Mollywood and this has been the buzz report thanks for watching you
