2014 Lexus IS priced at $35,950*

Lexus has announced pricing for its 2014 IS Sedan. Buyers will be able to take home the reworked luxury four door beginning at $35,950, the MSRP for the IS250 in rear-wheel drive configuration (excluding $895 destination fee). Stepping up to all-wheel drive will see that number jump to $38,485, and both variants get their grunt from a 204-horsepower, 2.5-liter V6. Going for the IS350 with its 306-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 will cost your $39,465, and adding all-wheel drive to that equation will see the bottom line jump to $41,700.

HP SlateBook 10 X2 Rumor

HP SlateBook 10 X2 Rumor

It was just yesterday when we were talking about how the HP Slate 7 is more than ready to make its mark in the market, especially since it is made available to folks living across the pond in the form of a pre-order. Well, it seems that the HP Slate 7 is not the only tablet that HP has in mind for the masses, as they do seem to be working on the launch of a spanking new high-end Android powered device, which will be called the HP SlateBook 10 X2. Yeah, beats me as to why the HP SlateBook 10 X2 is named that way, considering how there was no predecessor of sorts to it (ala HP SlateBook 10 X, anyone.

Samsung and Google have been cozying up with one another in recent memory, which would not come as a surprise considering the kind of fallout that the South Korean conglomerate had with Apple in recent memory.

It looks as though Nintendo isn't the only major publisher to diminish their presence at E3 this year as it turns out 2K Games, which is the publisher behind Borderlands 2 and BioShock Infinite, won't be attending the show at all this year. The news comes directly from 2K Games as they revealed on their forums they won't have a booth at E3 this year, and will instead be working hard on its upcoming new titles for release. The forum post also plugged the company's YouTube and Twitch channels to encourage gamers who are looking for additional information on upcoming titles to follow them on these sites.

Living with Glass, Day Four: Canyon Carving

Finally, the flash of newness is wearing off. It's taken a few days, but the initial novelty of Glass, enjoying wearing it simply because I could wear it, is running thin. The haze of new gadget excitement is clearing and we can truly get down to brass tacks - but that doesn't mean I'm not having fun. In fact I've had the opportunity to take Glass with me to do something very fun indeed: ride a Ducati 848 Streetfighter on some of the most amazing roads in the world.

New Pinterest Design Update Brings Back Some Old Features

New Pinterest Design Update Brings Back Some Old Features

Last month Pinterest rolled out a new look for all of its users. This new look was first tested by a select group of pinners in January, while it was still under development. The focus was on new discovery features which were aimed at making it easier for pinners to discover things of interest that they didn't previously know about. However the new look wasn't appreciated by majority of users, which is why Pinterest has brought back many of the old features it had removed in the March redesign. These features include @ mentions and “via” links.

Audi TT Ultra Quattro Concept throws lightness at the problem

Audi TT Ultra Quattro Concept throws lightness at the problem

Audi is celebrating the 2013 Wörthersee Tour with a special concept version of the company's TT. The Audi TT Ultra Quattro concept tips the scales at just 2,449 pounds thanks to some extensive engineering work. The company pulled nearly 95 lbs from the car's body structure and used carbon-fiber reinforced plastics for many of its detachable body components. As a result, the concept weighs in at a full 220 pounds lighter than its production counterpart. Throw in a wicked turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 310 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, and you get a machine with the power to weight ratio in the supercar realm.

As the saying goes, there are two sides to a story, or that a coin has two faces.

As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000. Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year.

Texting while driving is as big of a no-no as talking on the phone while driving, especially since both activities are distracting and could cause accidents. With the introduction of voice assistants, such as Siri and S Voice and etc. and their ability to convert voice to text, and text to voice and so on, logically it would seem like we might have found a safer alternative to reply and read text messages while driving, right. However a survey conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute thinks otherwise and believes that voice-to-text activities can dull reactions the same way texting while driving might.

If Google isn't planning on releasing a successor just yet then it makes sense to release a tweaked Nexus 4, because almost all premium smartphones offer these features.

To say we were unimpressed by the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage that debuted in New York earlier this year would be one heck of an understatement. So pardon us for not oohing and aahing over the Concept G4 that we're seeing for the first time here in Shanghai. It is, basically, a Mirage sedan. Try to contain your excitement.
Mitsubishi states that it intends to roll out the production version of the G4 Concept globally, powered by a 1.2-liter MIVEC engine mated to a continuously variable transmission that should at least be good for some substantial fuel economy gains. The Mirage, after all, is rated at 37x44 miles per gallon city/highway.
