So does Paice have a claim against Honda, Ford or any of the other company's in the hybrid game? I looked over some of the pat. they have. And I find them to be very general over all and extremely wordy. Almost to the point of common knowledge even considering the years filed. I smell a Russian Rat.
I have yet to listen to any of the podcasts. Little kids during the day make it hard to hear and after work I don't have enough time after catching up on the forums. One of these days I will get to it.
Yep Mike , I do the final QC listen on my Zune in the car, the goal is to fit into a standard commute. (#13 didn't do this but came close)
