Koenigsegg-Trevita

The Trevita CCXR is the latest limited edition of Koenigsegg’s CCXR supercar. Trevita, in Swedish, means “three whites,” a reference to the number of cars planned for production. The limited production is due to the method and material employed in the manufacturing of the car’s bodywork. In-house Koenigsegg engineers developed a special type of carbon fiber whose fibers have been coated with a diamond finish, creating a metallic white (as opposed to traditional black) color.

Definitely takes a while to get used to, but the complexity of the game (with the effector knob, uni and omnidirectional scratches, spikes, euphoria, red sample note, rewinds, the three buttons, cross-fading in general) really makes it fun when you get it down after a bit of practice, because your hands are flying all over the place during some of the harder songs.

Facebook status update saves man from jail

19 Nov

fb-statusFacebook seems to have contributed to countless broken love affairs, divorces, and insane levels of jealousy. People pry into your friend lists and updates until they sometimes reach conclusions far beyond reality. How lovely, then, that a mere status update appears to have saved a Harlem man from jail.

According to The New York Times, Rodney Bradford decided to update his status with a call from the soul. “Where’s my pancakes?” is the Times’ translation of a status update it says was written in “indecipherable street slang.” The fact that Bradford did this at 11:49 a.m. on October 17, using his father’s computer, meant that he would not have to suffer pancakes of a more distasteful nature in the local penitentiary.

Bradford, you see, was arrested the next day for robbery. However, after he was booked, his lawyer was intelligent enough to update the district attorney with news of Bradford’s Facebooking.

Sure, it runs the not-so-hot Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, but if you’re determined to pick up a new Windows Phone, you can’t do better than the HTC HD2 ($TBA; Early 2010). As the first Windows phone with HTC’s Sense user interface, the HD2 is way more usable than the average Microsofty phone, and it packs some serious features, such as a 4.3-inch, 480×800 capacitive touch screen, HSPA 3G networking, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and a dual LED flashlight, a standard 3.5mm audio jack, microSD storage, GPS, a compass, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, and more.
