Production Tesla Roadster gets glorious hands-on: stifle your envy, please
Here at Engadget, we hold a special place in our hearts for Mr. Jason Calacanis, but regardless of whose name is on the pink slip, there's no denying that the vehicle you're peering at above just struck all sorts of jealousy in your chest. This Very Orange (seriously) Tesla Roadster is one of the very first to be produced with the revamped drivetrain, and according to the lucky (lucky!) souls over at AutoblogGreen who were able to give it a go, the "new, higher torque motor immediately made its presence felt." All that aside, we know you're here for the photos, so head on down to the read link when you've got ten or so free minutes to shuffle through. Let's just say you'll have a new appreciation for one Drew Phillips (photographer) when you're done treating your retinas.
Widget Watch: Mahalo
Today's widget is a simple one that lets you search Mahalo from your Dashboard. Mahalo, in case you don't know, is the new 'human powered search engine' from Weblogs, Inc co-founder Jason Calacanis (there is also another familiar TUAW face involved with Mahalo). Think of it as Google and Wikipedia's love child. A team of guides hand creates search result (they have already created 4000 out of the top 10,000 searches by hand) to give context to your search. The Mahalo search results also include results from Google, for all you traditionalists about there.Take a look at the Mahalo widget from Coding Robots and check out a few search results from Mahalo (may I suggest Steve Jobs and the iPhone?).
