2008 - 2013 MINI Cooper R56 Review

After 5 years of owning a MINI Cooper R56, it is high time that I wrote a review about this quite small but extraordinary car.

 

Some objective facts:

Pros	Cons
Superb driving experience	Restricted storage space
Excellent service and after sales support	Limited rear passenger space
Above the average passenger cabin material quality	Not impressive passenger cabin materials
Unlimited accessories and extras to choose from
Superior build quality
Details that impress

It was a warm winter day in the onset of March 2008 that I decided to fulfill one of my dreams and buy a Mini, so I browsed to the appropriate site and designed my dream car that contained the following components (I might have forgotten something):

• MINI Cooper 1.6
• 16" 6-Star Twin Spoke Alloys
• Roof in body colour
• Automatic Gearbox
• Auto transmission Sport leather steering wheel with gearshift paddles
• Multi-function controls for wheel
• Run-flat tyres
• Alarm system
• Sport seats
• Interior World Carbon Black
• Foglights
• Xenon Headlights
• Radio BOOST CD
• Bluetooth hands free fuction with USB audio
• White Indicator Lenses

Since a "buy now" option was not available in the site, I printed my made-to-measure car and went to a MINI dealer, where I placed the order. The car was ready in about 2.5 months.
Some minor design flaws and shortcomings have appeared during these years, but were repaired free of charge:

• a minor defect in one of the rear seat-belt buckles
• creaking sounds in the right door

Some of the stuff that one might enjoy:

• Gearshift paddles
• gearing down before turning or accelerating, formula style, is all a boy could wish for
• Start-stop button for the engine
• combine that with the gearshift paddles and you'll get the feeling ;D
• Bluetooth speakerphone and USB
• one could argue that this could be purchased separately; the proper integration with the wheel control buttons though, is priceless ;)
• Smart key
• No need to keep track of when and what needs to be serviced or changed
• After sales service
• After visiting an authorized service provider, a BMW representative contacts the owner and queries about service and pricing satisfaction
• Interior design
• Awesome
• Hydraulic piston to hold the car's hood
• Hood support rods are so passe :P
• Run-flat tyres
• The difference between "FUCK man, I have a flat tire" and "I have a flat tyre"

After five years of owning a Mini, I am more than happy for having one.

When being better doesn't equal victory: Samsung's curious overshadowing of HTC

When being better doesn't equal victory: Samsung's curious overshadowing of HTC
http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/15/samsung-htc-design-marketing-battle/

In a lot of things, being the best generally leads to victory. Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the London Olympics? He wins the gold. A hosting company has the best recorded uptime? It takes home an award. Google launches the fastest consumer broadband available in the US? Boom, victory.

But every so often, life throws us a curveball. For every 1972 Dolphins team, there's a pack of believers from NC State eager to do something crazy in 1983. And in more germane terms, there's presently no rhyme or reason why HTC has continually outgunned Samsung in terms of design prowess, yet continues to bleed cash while its Korean rival mints it. Actually, there is a reason. It's called marketing.

Europe and Russia teaming up for mission to Mars

Europe and Russia teaming up for mission to Mars
http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/-EmssVMhm9U/

NASA may have already landed several rovers on the surface of Mars, but that isn't stopping other countries from trying it themselves. The European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos have signed a deal to launch an orbiter in 2016 that will orbit the Red Planet, as well as plans to put a rover on Mars in 2018 as part of the ExoMars program.

As a part of the deal, the Russians will be providing the rockets for both missions in 2016 and 2018, while the Europeans will be providing the orbiter and the rover. The orbiter will study the chemical composition of the atmosphere of Mars. For the 2018 mission, the Europeans will provide the carrier and the ExoMars rover, which will be tasked with the mission to look for signs of life on the Red Planet.

However, what's perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of this proposed rover is that it will be able to dig up samples from as deep as 6.5 feet beneath the surface of Mars, which will be the deepest that any rover has ever dug. The ESA says that, by doing this, the rover will be able to collect samples "that have been shielded from the harsh conditions of the surface, where radiation and oxidants can destroy organic materials."

NASA actually pulled out of the ExoMars program last year, but while they're no longer a part of it, the ESA said that NASA will still contribute to the project by providing some communications software, as well as engineering support during the missions. Other details haven't yet been discussed, but we're excited nonetheless.

CyanogenMod developers will not support Galaxy S4

via OSNews by donotreply@osnews.com (Thom Holwerda) on 3/19/13

"With the Samsung Galaxy S4 presumably coming soon, many are excited about the possibility of running a more stock Android-based experience, like CyanogenMod, on the hardware. It looks like that's going to be a slower transition than many were hoping, as the current Samsung CM maintainers have said that they have no plans to support the device." If you like custom ROMs, don't buy Samsung. As simple as that.

"We launched Google Reader in 2005 in an effort to make it easy for people to discover and keep tabs on their favorite websites. While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined. So, on July 1, 2013, we will retire Google Reader. Users and developers interested in RSS alternatives can export their data, including their subscriptions, with Google Takeout over the course of the next four months." This makes me very, very sad. Any good alternatives - alternatives with Windows Phone and Metro applications, that is?

Embedded Developers Prefer Linux, Love Android

reasonable. also, considering that many of the in-house/custom system are linux-based, the linux share is far above the estimated 50% :)

Embedded Developers Prefer Linux, Love Android

via Slashdot: Linux by Soulskill on 3/3/13

DeviceGuru writes "In a recent EE Times 2013 Embedded Market study, Android was the OS of choice for future embedded projects among 16 percent of the survey's participants, second only to 'in-house/custom' (at 28 percent). But if a spectrum of disparate approaches can be lumped together as a single option, why not aggregate the various shades of Linux to see how they compare? Parsing the EE Times data that way makes it abundantly clear that Linux truly dominates the embedded market."

Inspiration Mars ship using human waste as a radiation shield: no really, it's fine

via Engadget RSS Feed by Jon Fingas on 3/3/13

Dennis Tito is planning an ambitious private flyby of Mars for 2018 that will carry all kinds of logistical challenges during its proposed 501-day span, not the least of which is shielding the crew from radiation without consuming valuable resources. The team's solution is a clever one, if not especially pretty: human waste. While the walls of the Inspiration Mars spacecraft will initially be lined with water-filled bags to guard against cosmic rays, their contents will be gradually replaced with er, byproduct that will be dehydrated through the bag (possibly using polyethylene) to reclaim and purify water for drinking. As water-based materials are better at stopping radiation than metal, the approach theoretically represents the best of all worlds with less bulk, a simpler life support system and maximum room for supplies. If the Inspiration Mars group can keep the bags working at high efficiency in space, it won't have to worry about its travelers' safety; their comfort with being surrounded by their own waste may be another matter.
