iPhone, iPad and Macs could be banned on Aug 24

It has been practically impossible to read the news without seeing something about a lawsuit involving Apple recently. The iPhone maker has gone and sued many companies involved in making smartphones and tablets, and its fight with Samsung has been relentless, merciless and sometime ridiculous – on both sides. This time, Motorola Mobility is Apple's Nemesis in a case that could get Apple's juiciest products banned in the USA.

Car dealerships selling more cars per store than ever before

A consulting firm has boosted its auto sales estimate for 2012 to 14.3 million vehicles, but the big news is that, in aggregate, dealers are again making money selling cars. Bloomberg reports that annual sales per dealer will jump to 805 vehicles according to Urban Science. That would be a new record, as despite this year's total sales number being some four million units shy of 2007 levels, there are far fewer car dealers in operation today.
The previous record was set in 2005, when the figure was 784 vehicles sold per dealer, according to the report.

Volkswagen 2013 Jetta Hybrid sets speed record, gives new meaning to hypermiling

Most hybrid car drivers will tell you that their world is all about being gentle on the throttle, spending as much time as possible in that electric-only speed range even if it makes a family minivan look speedy. Volkswagen has just claimed a record for doing precisely the opposite: the 2013 Jetta Hybrid is reportedly the fastest production hybrid in the world, having come just shy of a verified 185.4MPH after an all-out assault on the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Lego creates six mini Ferrari kits for Shell

The best way we can think of to get customers into your gas stations is by offering complimentary fuel. The next best way. Lego Ferraris. For a limited time, Shell gas stations are offering six tiny Lego Ferrari kits when you fill up your tank.
Unfortunately to take advantage of the offer, you need to gas up in Hong Kong. Though we don't yet have official word from Lego or Shell, there doesn't seem to be a plan to make a similar offer here in the States.

But you can virtually build and drive the six models on Shell's Website. Choose from the Scuderia Ferrari Truck, an F40, 150° Italia, 458 Italia, FXX, or a 250 GT Berlinetta.
