Video: A Honda Scooter Commercial With Steve Jobs?

When I first saw this TV commercial from Honda (I have to assume it's from Taiwan, but I could be wrong), it looks a lot like it's Steve Jobs who is fronting the ad. The advertisement is for the Honda SCR 110, a small scooter, but the guy walking around it, looks a hell of a lot like Steve Jobs.

They have purposely made the guy a bit blurry, but he wears the same black clothes favored by Jobs, short hair like Jobs, stubble like Jobs and glasses like Jobs.

I'd say Steve Jobs is turning in his grave..

Belgium: First Motorcycle taxi Operational

City Scoot Taxis
Following up on their promises, the Belgium government made it possible for the first motorcycle taxi to start its operation in Brussels. Brussels has one of the worst traffic jams in Europe, so it's appropriate to have such a service.

The first company, City Scoot, has started operating a service with 400cc scooters. More companies will follow shortly.

It's good to see that this initiative is government sponsored, not like other countries, where motorcycles are still seen as a problem.

Belgium: Massive Motorcycle Police Accident

Belgium Royal Palace Accident
This is one of those very rare occasions that something like this happens in Europe. The motorcycle police is very well and extensively trained, but not much could be done here.

A car driver plowed into the motorcycle police escort of a Qatari dignitary, hurting 5 of the police officers. The car driver was attempting suicide.
