Ford previewed their latest Evos plug-in hybrid concept vehicle, with the next generation of Ford SYNC in car computing…
According to Ford, the vehicle gives its driver the ability to tap into this “personal cloud” of information at any time — for example, picking up where the driver left off on that favorite song he or she was listening to inside the house. The vehicle’s smart systems monitor its driver’s “physical state and workload,” adjusting the car’s handling, heating, cooling and music to suit the driver’s level of alertness, perhaps even keeping him from falling asleep.
We especially like its ability to pre-cool or preheat the car, making sure it’s set at the driver’s favorite temperature by the time he plops down into its spectacular-looking interior. A Ford spokesperson says, “The car gets to know you and can act as a personal assistant to handle some of the usual routines of a daily commute.”

Why hello! Look at this beauty! Please make it Alfa…
Look wise certainly smaller and sleek with a lighter and smarter in design. The curves and the dynamic body of the machine are a complete thrill. The Alfa Romeo 4C, as we know it, was unveiled at the 81st Geneva International Motor Show in March 2011 and has been an eye candy ever since.
The 4C employs a 1.75 L turbocharged petrol engine and promises a whooping 200 hp. What is perhaps also interesting is that, this engine is placed strategically in the middle, powering the rear wheels. The TCT dual-clutch transmission does the rest of the job in electrifying experiences. Alfa Romeo 4C assures to reach the 62 mph mark in less than 5 seconds and also takes the car to a maximum speed of 155mph. What more can the seasoned sports car lover like you can expect; without any doubt, the most engaging and magnificent performance car.

Nice idea, but seriously $30 for a sticker and a utility? I think someones been hitting the apple sauce…
I love my compact little 13″ MacBook Pro. I really do. But I’m sick and tired of having to hunt down numbers on the top row of the keypad. I’m a square kind of girl. I like my number keys laid out in a grid like the good old-fashioned days. So clearly, I need this Magic Numpad accessory from Mobee. It turns an Apple Magic Trackpad into a number pad computer accessory.
Great to see the HP Microsoft server range getting a speed boost and greater support with options for pre-installed Small Business Server Essentials 2011 (the business version of the latest Windows Home Server release).
Systems come with the new 1.5 AMD Turion™ II Model Neo N40L processor, with with either 2gb ram, 250gb hard disk (£219 ex-vat), or 4gb, 2x500gb hard disk (in a RAID configuration) and preinstalled with SBS (£565 ex-vat).
The processor should give the new generation of Microserver around at 20% speed boost, which should server both home and business users with a nice performance edge. Either system is highly recommended for any small business, the integration with Office365 makes this a killer local/cloud storage combination.
(Side note, the current £100 cash back offer only includes the lower end 1.3ghz model which is still available, and hasn’t been extended to the newer models at the moment)
