PORSCHE GO-KART MADE JUST FOR KIDS

The go-kart is currently available to buy from any authorized Porsche dealer, or online from their website. It retails at $900 dollars and while the price is high, it might be a clever way to give your child the ability to say – “I own a Porsche.”

“Buying online is really awesome. People have become very accustomed to one-click buying. The confidence is there, and with mobile that’s only growing,” Blackshaw says.

“The inverse isn’t true. Selling online is really awful. It hasn’t progressed to the same frictionless transaction that buying has.”

Excerpt:

So David Karp built this really awesome sports car. He built it from scratch and it looks amazing and when he drives it around town all the teenagers go crazy. But he spent all his money building the car, and barely has enough money to keep gas in it or to do maintenance and upgrades to the car…. The good news for Karp is he’ll never need gas money again. The good news for Yahoo is it basically just called “shotgun!” to the tune of $1.1 Billion.

There is an aesthetic crisis in writing, which is this: how do we write emotionally of scenes involving computers? How do we make concrete, or at least reconstructable in the minds of our readers, the terrible, true passions that cross telephony lines? Right now my field must tackle describing a world where falling in love, going to war and filling out tax forms looks the same; it looks like typing.
