​Summary-Many car companies are struggling to keep car sales up due to a falling economy and similarities between multiplecar companies. One car company that has been able to stay above the rest is the Ford company. The Ford company stands out above the rest by developing a feature called Sync developed by Microsoft. Sync enables the driver to wirelessly make phone calls and such off of their cell phone by simply pressing a button on the steering wheel and then the car prompts for a voice command through the speaker. Another feature of Sync allows the driver to load directions for GPS off of a computer at home. Sync also allows you to hear any text messages, provided that the car will read the messges or any text you desire to be read to you. The user can also demand to listen to whatever music you may have saved by just naming the type of music the user wishes to listen to. The Sync also allows the driver to change what appears on the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. Sync has provided great opportunities for new customers to Ford and has set a new road for vehicle technologies.

Thoughts on Wall Street Journal article- I believe that the BP gas company should have to comply with the new safety rules because of the fact that the oil leakage in the Gulf is their company's fault. Of course the company has to spend a lot of money to contain the spill and even more money for more personell required for the new safety rules, but it's only right that they pay for the consequences of their error.
