"Obviously, if we had been aware of Sabis's shortcuts in the testing programme, the TSB board and I would never have pressed ahead with switching to the new system at that time."

To turn this on it head, one wonders how much pressure was coming from the board for Sabis to be afraid to tell the truth?

The software before the update was used to detect if a car was being tested for emissions/ fuel consumption. Then it lowered power and fuel consumption. So it gave skewed figures. Which means in normal driving it was always giving more than advertised figures. So the fuel consumption has not changed from before update for normal driving. So you won't see any difference.

Edit: ah my bad. Ah, it specifically relates to particulate emissions, that is not related to fuel consumption

I'm liking that idea. Anything that's not spent builds up nicely in the savings account. It's normal to save a set amount each month and whatever is left you just leave sitting in your current account. But that turns it on it's head, leaving any surplus in the savings account. And paying yourself a budget every week helps you manage the money.

I dabbled in Stripes a while back(moved job, now on Spring3), and I liked it as well. Lightweight and easy to use but lacked decent support and user traction. No reason it's not used more, and I don't know why either.

Ok, I agree, Apple is a great marketer, but what made them think up the first three points of Empathy, Focus and Impute that still drives the business in the first place? Was it based on research or gut feeling?
