In addition to that , we looked at statistical analysis , what we call a hazard plot , which looks at the prediction of aging of these tires over time . " At Skype we want to make talking over the Internet the most natural , simple thing for people all over the world to do , " said Niklas Zennstrom , CEO of Skype . Up to that point , even the 1183 , although it sounds like a high number , you know , when you're dealing with millions and millions of tires , it really was n't very evident to us . Public awareness of tire safety has intensified since last year , and our expectations within the Ford Motor Company of tire performance has also changed . Although we're back before your committee again this year to discuss an even larger recall , this still remains a tire problem . Like I said , I replaced my own tires on my Explorer , and when you have an accident , it 's an accident - - they do n't call it `` safety data '' or `` claims data , '' it 's an accident for the people out there . At least five major studios are expected to join the lawsuits , which target digital movie copies distributed over file sharing networks that can be accessed with programs such as eDonkey , Kazaa , and Grokster . I 'm going to open up and when I 'm in a similar situation , like yourself , I always say , I am open for hospitable questions . There seems to be a tenfold difference between the Ranger and the Explorer , and I would ask unanimous consent for a minute of time so you might respond to that , since it seems to be quite different than the answer you responded to Mr. Gordon .

Second , you said you did not make a decision based on price , since you said there was only a 10 cents difference . I , like others on the committee , have interests on both sides of this issue , having constituents that are directly involved with both Firestone and Ford . I am from Akron , Ohio , and although we have n't built a passenger car tire in Akron for 22 years , it remains a center of research and development , production technology , command and control in this global industry for more than a century . Vehicles are not designed and specified and set up so that they can handle tread separation easily , although you would have to say that even with - - even from Firestone 's own data , 90 percent of the Explorers do not roll over even when there is a catastrophic tread separation . When consumers are talking on a traditional telephone line and receive an incoming Skype call , they can easily switch lines to take the Skype call or vice versa , just like a typical call-waiting feature , the company said . As a matter of fact , the initial Goodyear quote was actually below Firestone . What we learned since then allowed us to analyze failure trends more precisely .
