Additional Blackberry 10 Z10 Photos Surface

RIM's upcoming Blackberry 10 Z10 is hardly a surprise given all the leaked images, but then again since the official unveiling of the device has yet to come, Blackberry 10 fans will no doubt be pleased to learn that additional photos of the handset have made their way onto the internet again via fou6an.com. There's nothing new to see except that these are some pretty clear photos of the handset, and interestingly the image of the iPhone above is said to be a photo taken by the Z10's camera.

Man drives Rolls-Royce for 78 years then makes museum donation to ensure its preservation

Mr. Allen Swift died in 2005 at the impressive age of 102, but his automotive story is even more remarkable. Not only is the gentleman credited with owning a Rolls-Royce automobile longer than anyone else in the world, but he had the forethought and funds to ensure its future preservation after his death. In 1928, while living in Springfield, Massachusetts, Swift's father gave him a 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly P1 Roadster as a graduation present (Springfield and Rolls-Royce have a history – from 1920 to 1931, the British automaker built 2,944 vehicles in the city as part of its attempt to establish a US plant).

Toshiba Develops Lytro-Like Smartphone Camera Sensor

Toshiba Develops Lytro-Like Smartphone Camera Sensor

Earlier today we reported that Toshiba had a 20MP image sensor planned for point-and-shoot cameras, and it looks like Toshiba's foray into the photography industry isn't stopping there. According to Asahi Shimbun, it seems that Toshiba is currently working on a camera sensor designed for smartphones that will allow smartphone cameras to perform the same function as the Lytro light field camera. For those who are unfamiliar with the Lytro camera, it is a camera introduced back in 2011 that allowed photographers to shoot the image first and focus on the subject later.

Canon Cinema EOS 1D-C Arrives In Japan, World To Follow

When you slap a sticker price of $11,999 on your digital camera (the Canon 1D-C, no less), it is definitely not going to make it to the DSLR best seller list by far and large, but you should not be surprised to hear that there would be a fair number of people who are willing to pony up that kind of insane cash just to bring home this extremely versatile 18-megapixel 4K cam, where it boasts of EOS lens compatibility and a full-frame sensor to boot. It seems that industry expectations for the Canon EOS 1D-C stood at $15,000 thereabouts for its pricing, so to hear that it has gone under the $12,000 mark (just) is definitely a pleasant surprise.

Buick Verano to go turbo-only for 2014?

Buick Verano to go turbo-only for 2014?

If VIN tags recently posted online prove accurate, the 2014 Buick Verano may be getting a new base engine. Presently the Verano makes use of GM's 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine in non-turbo trim; 2014 documentation appears to indicate that GM's entry-level luxury compact will instead feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged mill. If this is the same engine seen in Europe, GM Inside News suggests it may offer 192 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque – useful improvements over the larger naturally aspirated mill's 180 hp and 171 lb-ft.

Steve Jobs's Yacht Impounded In The Port Of Amsterdam

Steve Jobs's Yacht Impounded In The Port Of Amsterdam

One of the last projects Steve Jobs worked on before his passing was an 80-meter yacht that was co-designed by renowned designer Philippe Starck. Steve Jobs somehow knew that he will never live to see the completion of the yacht. The yacht, dubbed as Venus, was eventually finished in October this year. It was built by the Dutch company Feadship. If you're wondering where the yacht is right now, the Financial Times is reporting that yacht is still in the Port of Amsterdam and under a court order.

Apparently Philippe Starck is claiming that Jobs still owes him some money for his work.

The planned SRT8 model comes in response to feedback from Aussie buyers, many of whom have expressed interest in a car with the 300 SRT8's performance, but without all of the high-end features and the big sticker price. The Chrysler 300 STR8 currently sells for around $66,000 Australian; the intended price for the new, stripped down version of the car is reported to be under $60k Australian.

Nobody likes getting a ticket from the police, but a $300 fine given to David Hill of Wichita, KS could prove to be some of the cheapest PR a charity could receive. Hill had his Ford F-350 Super Duty covered in 856 Christmas lights to help raise awareness to his charity, One Spark Can Start a Fire, when a Wichita police officer pulled him over and ticketed him for being a distraction on the road and illegally displaying red and blue lights on a vehicle (although it's hard to believe that anyone could confuse this truck for any sort of emergency vehicle).

Add $200 to that price if you aren't up to the task of assembling it on your own. Weighing in at 6.2 lbs, the Portabee is portable and can be taken apart very quickly and stored in a laptop bag.
