Autocar first to get a crack at wheeltime in the Lexus LF-A. Sort of. {Autoblog}
Jul 12th 2009 12:32AM It ain't a half-a-million, based on today's exchange rates £250,000 is a good $100,000 off of "half-a-million" (closer to $400k); if that speculation from Autocar is correct to begin with.
Based on Autocar's rumor history, and the fact that Autoblog can't even use Google correctly to find correct exchange rates and to misquote a price the gap of a ZR-1 or GT-R; I would take this rumor with a huge grain of salt.
Sony Ericsson Rachael UI video leaks out, Kiki comes for the ride {Engadget}
Jul 8th 2009 7:30PM It does look beautiful, I'm glad that someone can make Android actually look good.
Google announces Chrome OS, coming to netbooks second half of 2010 {Engadget}
Jul 8th 2009 8:16AM Being that both Android and Chrome OS are Linux based they likely share a lot of work and will have a large degree of compatibility. The best thing for Android is to be the best phone OS it can instead of a jack-of-all-trades-ace-of-none.
There are 13,000 iPhone games now {Joystiq}
Jul 8th 2009 1:31AM 5%? You gotta be kidding. There aren't 650 good games on the iPhone. Most iPhone games are cheap rip-offs of other games or total shovelware.
I love my iPhone to death, and the apps are genuinely useful, but the gaming on it is a joke. I would say there are half-a-dozen to a dozen decent iPhone games. The rest aren't even worth the cheap price they charge for the games to begin with.
Sony unveils two new 1080p Handycams {Engadget}
Jul 8th 2009 1:23AM 24p is only for wanna-be poseur film-makers. And most of them aren't in the market for Handycams. Wrong market, since they are better off buying the Panasonic GH-1 dSLR that has interchangeable lenses and DOF control for around the same price as this camera.
CE-Oh no he didn't! Part LXI: Acer chief says Japanese PC companies "the weakest today" {Engadget}
Jul 8th 2009 1:18AM Its pointless because the PC industry is in shambles, and Acer i The profit margins are razor thin for everyone due to the downward pressure of netbook prices. Nobody needs a $3,000 PC or laptop anymore. People nowadays think a $999 laptop or desktop is expensive nowadays, the sad fact is there is little money to be made selling computers.
Acer themselves are an example, in 2008 they sold more computers, Income was up 39%, but they made less money; profits were down 23%. They are selling more, and making less. That's a horrible trend. Netbooks price are going to continue to fall, and Microsoft is going to charge significantly more for Windows 7 over XP, profits are going to be squeezed even further from PC makers.

Jul 7th 2009 6:49PM Bösendorfer can be very expensive, and seven-figures aren't unheard of. Also, it should be noted that Bösendorfer is a subsidiary of Yamaha. Another company with close transportation ties.
SCE: PSPgo's 480MHz clock speed references USB, not CPU {Engadget}
Jul 6th 2009 12:48AM Seriously, while I wouldn't buy a PSP Go, my biggest gripe about the PSP-3000 was its size. The thing is huge, granted it has a huge screen. The PSP Go looks to be the size of a Palm Pre, which ideal for a portal device. I would be all over it if it was priced right, and I would start buying PSP games again.
SCE: PSPgo's 480MHz clock speed references USB, not CPU {Engadget}
Jul 6th 2009 12:46AM First off, the PSP Go isn't twice the price of the normal PSP-3000; its $70 more. And it ain't slower, it will at the very least match the normal PSPs speed (which is 300mhz).
