VOLVO HAS BEEN shuttling its “Safety Concept Car” around the country for the better part of a year, and this week it was Seattle’s turn. It’s curvy, flashy, very red and very electronic.
Sit in the driver’s seat, and an eye sensor adjusts the seat, floor, steering wheel, console and floor pedals for optimal comfort and accessibility. Stray over the center line on the highway, and a beeper warns you.

the car has five separate computer systems (running Windows 98, by the way), and a trunk so full of electronics you can forget about the golf clubs.

I soooo don't think so. :)

It’s billed as a $10 million James Bond-mobile. The Volvo Safety Concept Car

Give that CEO a pay raise!
How an attempt to cap executive salaries a decade ago inadvertently led to the corporate mess plaguing us today.

Yesterday, the Senate approved President Bush’s proposal to forbid corporations from extending loans to top executives. The measure, almost certain to become law, will come far too late for companies like WorldCom, which has virtually no hope of collecting the $400 million it lent to former CEO Bernard Ebbers. And there’s little reason to believe the ban will reduce runaway executive compensation. But it is sure to have some unintended consequences. Consider what happened the last time Congress played executive compensation consultant: It inadvertently set the table for today’s scandals.
