Cowon D20 Offers 90 Hours Of Non-Stop Music

The dedicated MP3 player can be said to have gone all but extinct, especially when you consider that folks these days prefer to carry all of their favorite tunes on a single smartphone (which is more than capable of just playing back your MP3 files, as those do video, too). Well, word has it that Cowon holds out a flicker of hope for the dedicated MP3 player by introducing the Cowon D20, which is a device that offers up to 90 hours of non-stop audio playback.

Vampire Weekend singer responds to burning Saab controversy (video)

Last week, we tipped you off about Vampire Weekend and their new music video for the song Diane Young, a short film that consists entirely of setting fire to two perfectly nice-looking Saab 900 automobiles. The indie rock band's video – viewable by scrolling down – predictably triggered the internet ire of classic car enthusiasts – Saabophiles in particular – and word of the unrest eventually got back to the band itself. According to music site Spinner (nb: owned by Autoblog parent AOL), the group was "stunned" at the backlash – enough that lead singer Ezra Koenig felt compelled to respond himself.

Daniel Craig nets $1M to show up at Land Rover NY, leaves quickly [w/videos]

The New York Post reports actor Daniel Craig pocketed a cool $1 million to appear at a the New York Auto Show on behalf of Land Rover this week, despite staying at the function only briefly. The actor appeared at the Skylight at Moynihan Station on Tuesday, and was shown in a video driving the 2014 Range Rover Sport to the venue before driving onto a stage, live. From there, the actor who plays James Bond walked along a line of photographers and vanished from sight. While speaking with The New York Post, a representative from Land Rover said, "We won't comment on our relationship with Mr.

Chinese Gamer Spends Six Years At Internet Cafe

Not Meng. We've published a number of stories of gamers around the world who had their lives cut too short after spending way too many hours at local Internet cafes. But you rarely hear similar stories of gamers practically living at an Internet cafe for several years, and that's exactly what we have in the following story.
Li Meng has reportedly more or less been living at an Internet cafe near Changchun for the past six years as he only leaves his spot to eat and shower. Otherwise, he can be found at the cafe to play games in the evenings until he gets sleepy, and then proceeds to fall asleep during the daylight hours.

3D Printed Google Glass Helps You Be A Poser

You know how some of us like to be at the forefront of things all the time, especially among our clique, as we want to be the standout person. Well, Google Glass looks set to be quite the niche hit among nerds as well as the technologically proficient in the months and perhaps, even years to come ahead, but does this mean it warrants you getting ahead of the official "gun" by enlisting the help of a 3D printer.

BlackBerry Sells 1 Million BlackBerry Z10 To Spark Rise In Profits

The last time BlackBerry announced its earnings report, they reported a $114 million loss on $2.73 billion in revenue. Things weren't looking good for the company at all and many considered their upcoming BlackBerry 10 announcement to be their final Hail Mary pass. It looks as though the launch of their BlackBerry 10 platform along with its BlackBerry Z10 could be considered a success as they're announcing they're once again profitable.

2013 Shelby 1000 cranks up the horsepower dial to 1,200

Just in case a stock 662-horsepower Shelby GT500 isn't powerful enough for your taste and the 850-hp Shelby Super Snake still fails to tickle your fancy, Shelby American has introduced the monstrous 2013 Shelby 1000 as the king of the Mustangs. Using the same supercharged 5.8-liter V8 as the GT500, Shelby almost doubles the stock engine's power, which lays down an incredible 1,200 hp. on pump gas.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Hits The FCC

So, all of the dust and fanfare surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S4 has more or less settled, and you can be sure that this new flagship from the South Korean conglomerate is going to make quite a buzz for itself when it is finally ready to hit the market. Having said that, this means you will have to brace yourselves for a flurry of Samsung Galaxy S4 filings over at the FCC in the near and immediate future, where the first US-bound versions of the smartphone have started to receive FCC approval, where among them include both MetroPCS (SCH-R970) and Sprint (SPH-L720) models.

2014 Honda Odyssey gets some tidy tweaks (video)

Here in New York, Honda is offering up a refreshed version of its well-liked Odyssey minivan, bringing with it a slew of updates including the segment's first in-car vacuum. It looks to be a neat little feature, one that families will no doubt get a lot of use out of. Kids are spill-machines, after all. On the outside, the Odyssey gets a revised front end with dark headlamp surrounds, shiny cross-bars in the grille, and an aluminum hood and bumper. We think the blacked-out grille trim looks fine on this charcoal model, but question how smart it will look on models with lighter paint tones.

2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT claws at the driving enthusiast in us

If you still find yourself coming up a few seconds short per lap in your Jaguar XKR-S, the British automaker has introduced the XKR-S GT – a cat specifically tuned for the racing circuit – at the New York Auto Show. While Jaguar has left the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 unchanged (550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque), it has tuned and tweaked all the items that really make cars go quicker on the track (e.g. suspension, aerodynamics, contact patches, brakes).

2014 Buick LaCrosse steps up to the big leagues with plenty of luxury [w/videos]

Following the introduction of the updated 2014 Buick LaCrosse and Regal, the oldest vehicle in Buick's lineup will be the Verano, which was just introduced last year. Having such a fresh product mix bodes well for Buick as it tries to create a new image in the US, and after checking out the amount of luxury being stuffed into the new LaCrosse for 2014, GM's awkwardly positioned brand may finally have the ability to stand out.

Intel Expects $599 Ultrabooks To Arrive In The Market This Holiday Season

Ultrabooks have started to become popular alternatives to regular laptops due to its thin and slim form factor, and the fact that most Ultrabooks come bundled with speedy SSDs versus regular HDDs found on normal laptops. However Ultrabooks tend to be priced at the higher-end of the market, meaning that customers who don't see the point in paying $999 for a laptop will not buy one. However according to Intel at the Intel Solutions Summit, Kirk Skaugen, the senior vice president and general manager of Intel's PC Client Group came out and said that we might be able to look forward to $599 Ultrabooks entering the market this holiday season.

2014 Honda Odyssey set to clean up in NY with world's first in-car vacuum

Much of the minivan segment's volume has been sucked up by the industry's ever-increasing appetite for crossovers, but a few major players are hanging in there, eager to serve as beasts of burden for America's families. Chief among those players is Honda, which is showing its revamped 2014 Odyssey at this week's New York Auto Show with a potential game-changing feature – an in-car vacuum. Co-developed with Shop-Vac, the HondaVAC system will come standard on the range-topping Touring Elite model. The system includes a replaceable filter and canister bag, along with a range of attachments located in the cargo hold.

Race Recap: 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix is a fool in the rain

Humidity, hunger and heartbreak were the takeaways from the Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix. A proper track with a wider variety of straights and corners than the street circuit in Australia, the second race of the season was expected to be a better test of the performance of the 11 teams on the grid. It was also supposed to be a more accurate test of the Pirelli tires, the bits of rubber at the four corners of the car still at the top of the performance agenda for all the top teams except for McLaren, which even larger issues with its new car to deal with.

Thanko Video Recorder Works After Your Car Gets Bumped

Having a video recorder in your vehicle is a novel idea, as it would definitely be able to capture some of the more questionable moments when an accident occurs. Well, sometimes, if the video recorder works when we are not around, it is also a good thing, as you can then have an idea as to who the culprit is who scratched or dented your ride when you were not around. Thanko's latest security camera might fit the bill then if that is what you are looking for, as it automatically begins to record a movie for a few minutes right after detecting an impact to your car.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE Headed For China?

Yes, we did mention about the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini earlier just now, and it seems that there will definitely be more than just a single variant. After all, it makes perfect sense for a company like Samsung who tends to cast their net pretty wide and far. The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini looks set to come with its own fair share of variants, including an LTE-enabled one. This information came about by Twitter user st7761, who claimed that he found the I9190 model number on Samsung's support page, where that was accompanied by a trio of other I919X devices.

Acura recalling 76,000 TSX sedans in certain cold-weather states

Parent company Honda is issuing a recall for Acura TSX vehicles from model years 2004 to 2008, for a rather interesting fault with the electrical systems (well, kind of). It seems that TSX made between during that range have carpeting that degrades when it becomes saturated with "corrosive materials for deicing." The carpeting is in contact with each Acura's electronic control unit, which may in turn rust or become corroded as a result. All of that business could cause the engine to stall.

BMW wants world drifting record back in US

BMW just can't stand the thought of the world record for the longest drift winding up in the hands of someone else. The German automaker is set to take a crack at setting a new record by blowing the old one straight out of the water. A driver in China holds the current title after kicking a car sideways for a full 3.6 miles. Now, on May 11, BMW Performance Driving Instructor Johan Schwartz will attempt to pitch a BMW M5 sideways for some 40 miles as part of a stunt to raise funds for the BMW Pro-Am Charity.

Google releases a new app - Keep

The latest buzz from Google is a new app called Keep.  It is a note-taking application that mimics features from popular products such as Evernote and Springpad and lets you “keep” text notes, images, check lists, and voice notes.  It's available on the Google Play store for Android devices at the above link.  I've installed it on my Nexus 7 tablet and like the simplicity of it so far.

2014 Mitsubishi Outlander

A Good Start On Halting The Slide. We'd like to say that Mitsubishi has had a tough time of it lately, but "lately" isn't exactly the proper descriptor since the brand's troubles have slowly built over the past decade or so. It cut back on its marketing and it cut model lines while leaving what remained in the equivalent of a product cryo-freeze. Then there was the financial crash and replacement models that didn't possess the same edge we expected from the house of the triple diamond.
