Toyota unveils its Global Vision, Pledges 10 New Electrified Cars by 2015

Toyota's getting serious with this plural Prius stuff. If you still don't buy that Prii is the correct term you'd better hurry up and get over it, as the company just announced its "Toyota Global Vision," including a plan to launch 10 more hybrid vehicles by 2015. Surely that counts the new models unveiled in Detroit, the taller Prius V and the funkier Prius C, but it remains to be seen exactly what else the company will use to build up those numbers. Toyota also says that more fuel cell and fully electric cars are coming, along with numerous "genuinely exciting models," so maybe if we're really good over the next four years one of those Prii...

Google Brings Useful Features to Mobile

We've never had a use for Google Instant Search on mobile, so we didn't expect much when Google's Instant Previews invaded the smartphone realm as well. You know what? They're actually surprisingly useful. Instead of trying to cram additional information into Google's already-crowded mobile website, Instant Previews adds a little magnifying glass next to most every result instead, and clicking on the magnifier brings up a series of cached thumbnails of each page that you can scroll through in portrait or landscape modes. It's a very visual way of finding what you're looking for, and more importantly, it's quick even over 3G, saving time and mobile...

Microsoft seeking staff for next-gen Xbox

It makes sense that news of the impending Microsoft next generation console effort would be broken via social media of all places, but I’d have hoped for a more dramatic outing process. Instead we get three job ads Microsoft has placed on LinkedIn for a swashbuckling Graphics Hardware Architect, a bounty hunting Senior Architect and Performance Engineer for the Xbox Console Architecture Group and a crocodile wrestling Senior Hardware Design Verification Engineer. I honestly tried, but they still sound as exciting as a box of Scrabble. So if you’re into full moons, long walks on the beach, “architecture analysis, key technology selection, architecture...

Say Hello to Superphone: LG Optimus 2X, More than Smartphone

You're reading the wonderful hi-tech gadget blog, so chances are you have a smartphone and already use it to browse the web, email, use apps, play games and enjoy music and video. And we're willing to bet that every once in a while it struggles to cope, especially if you try and do too many things at once-they're tasks that were once the reserve of PCs, after all. But patchy performance isn't a good look, which is why LG has crammed a 1 GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor into the new Optimus 2X. Why dual-core? Simple, just as two brains are better than one, two cores spread the load and are able to process data faster and more efficiently-that's...

Marcedes-Benz F-Cell 2011; Advanced Super-Powered Car

Marcedes-Benz has announced that by 2015, the company's lineup will include a hydrogen-powered fuel-cell car, effectively leapfroging the current influx of EVs with technology many think is the endgame for automobile propulsion. (This is despite questions regarding the generation of hydrogen fuel, most of which now comes from natural gas). With EVs barely out of the gate, we were thinking, hydrogen-already? But after driving Benz's latest pilot-program fuel cell car, the F-Cell, we believe the aggressive production schedule may be on target. The-F-Cell is really an electric-hydrogen hybrid:A 136-hp electric motor fed by a small 1.4-kwh lithium-ion...

Current Best from Nissan; 2011 Nissan 370Z Roadster

When the seductive 370Z Roadster first showed up in our fleet, we described it as "the perfect summer fling".With its sensuous design, near-infinity-level features (tose ventilated seats are almost scandalous) and saucy performance (332 hp), the Z was impossible to resist. There's nothing sensible about a two-seater that barely has room for a couple of gym bags in its trunk. But some cars just make you happy to be alive, and this is one of them. That fling turned into a full-blown love affair. The Z's acid test was a five-day LA-to-NYC road trip. If the Z had a dark side, that trip was sure to reveal it. One expects a roadster to be uncomfortable...
