Did Hitler have it right?

porsche design


Was his contribution to the Volkswagen Beetle really that important? or was Porsche Ferdinand’s original design superior?

    What is wrong with you?

    Right as in what? If we ignore the “final solution” and “Third Reich”, then yes. The development, social changes, and much else was revolutionary. He introduced the affordable car and the expressway.

    The beetle is the only thing he had right.

    Hitler only set out performance requirements, he didn’t design anything.

    Regardless of whether he was right in any other subjects, he was the driving force behind one of the greatest wrongs of the twentieth century.

    No one is ever going to remember Hitler for whether he made a contribution to the car industry.

    Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen. Hitler’s government financed the project, subscribed to through “savings books”, but
    Hitler did make a couple of small design suggestions. Very few were produced before the war, but the design was adapted into the KubelWagen, a wonderful little military utility car, better than the Jeep in most aspects, which is still a rather nice “dune buggy”. I suppose the automobile couldn’t have happened the way it did without Hitler’s involvement, but no…he didn’t design the thing. He did give it a name:
    the people’s car. He promoted or stumbled across a few other tidbits which have some positive impact, long term, but then saying he had it “right” is so far afield that it borders on delusion. His real legacy is one of error, hatred, horrible arrogance, and mass murder on a super-industrial scale.

    The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

    I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
