  • Speed and Effeciency to be wed?

    I’m a true, red-blooded American who loves the sound and feel of a true, red-blooded American muscle car… but I’m also intrigued by what automotive engineers have come up with in terms of a more refined, efficient mode of transportation.

    Pictured is the new Wrightspeed X1 Prototype. There are other electric cars out there, but most lack something I consider to be essential to any sweet ride, and that’s speed. Speed is something the X1 does not lack however, boasting the ability to go from 0 – 60mph in 3 seconds. You read that right…. three.

    Check out the rest of the specs here, and check out a video of the X1 going up against a Lamborgini Gallardo and a NASCAR here.

  • Data Roaming

    Okay, even though I’m on a camping trip I’ve been using my iPhone during the car ride. Now my question is this, I have data roaming turned off, but is there still a chance AT&T might sock me extra for my data usage? Their website says that data coverage is provided in this area through partner coverage, but excessive usage may result in termination of your service or additional charges.

    I guess my question is more along the lines of what constitutes excessive use?

  • Out to Lunch

    My fellow writer Fred and myself are currently out of town with no laptops or internet. So it’s up to Dave and Jared to keep you entertained until Tuesday when we get back.

  • Samsung prepping a new Q1

    By now my obsession with UMPC’s should be quite apparent, so naturally I was thrilled to learn that Samsung is prepping a third revision of their Q1 UMPC. Specifications are tragically absent, but it’s safe to assume that it will be sporting some form of Intel’s Atom processor.

    The target launch date is early next year, again no specs or pricing have been annouced.

  • This ain’t how your Grandpa went fishin’

    I’ll admit I have a soft spot for boats, and this one is no exception. Pictured is the 2008 Four Winns Express Cruiser V458.

    I priced one on their website to the tune of $786,768… but I guess that’s the premium you pay for iPod compatibility.

    More pics after the jump.
