A. KaplanThe battle to maintain some semblance of privacy in our online
lives is a classic one-step-forward, two-steps-back situation. Just when
you start to feel you have a grasp of things, we get
hit with new revelations about government spying.The latest? How U.S. and
British intelligent agencies are working to take advantage of the extraordinary
information that online social-media sites are collecting on us.So that's
the latest two steps back. The latest one step forward deserves more
notice.Both Apple and Android have recently introduced new ways for advertisers
to deliver targeted ads to us. This sounds like bad news, but
the good part is that, given widespread consumer outrage on the issues,
both companies have shown some spine and designed the new protocols both
to keep the data anonymized and to make it easier for us
to opt out from tracking.Let's be honest. In the realities of the
world we live in, we have to accept not just advertising but
creative advertising. Most of the Internet is free; the price we pay
for it is ads of one sort or another. But changing technology
and the advantage companies have over us when it comes to
understanding the implications of technology has created a situation that
is both excessive and harmful.And, further, we should note that the ad-tracking
data the companies collect should be anonymous. They just know a certain
user
speed, adjust the audio and climate control systems, and endows them
with the ability to engage a chauffeur mode that makes sure their
section of the car gets temperature priority over the driver when its
heating up or cooling down. The Jeeveses and dads of the world
will not be pleased.Its entertaining, more so than the infotainment system.
Theres navigation and satellite radio, but the tech is decidedly last gen,
or perhaps quaintly retro, and doesnt offer the type of cloud-connected
app library available in bargain basement cars these days. This might speak
more to the Flying Spurs audience and its inherent appeal than any
failings on Bentleys behalf. The Breitling analog clock above it is lovely,
however.As is the throttle pedal, a drilled alloy affair that brings on
a rush of speed thats mind-bending, given how large the Flying Spur
is. Imagine a Clydesdale that runs like Seabiscuit, and you start to
get the idea. The small, thin-rimmed steering wheel and its hydraulic assist
deliver some fine old-school feel through the helm, and when you pull
the knurled shifter into sport, everyone loosens his tie and gets down
to business.On the street, the Flying Spurs abilities are no surprise, but
where it really impresses is when you pull off the blacktop on
to a snow-covered dirt road in freezing temperatures and dont drive immediately
into a tree.The Flying Spur is so sure-footed in these conditions that
youd think it had a plow attached
