Why everyone loses but the lawyers in Toyota's unintended acceleration settlement

The Toyota settlement recently submitted to US District Judge James Selna for approval will cost the company anywhere from $1 billion to $1.4 billion. All to settle the class-action suit brought against it for economic losses stemming from claims of unintended acceleration. This suit only addresses the perceived loss-of-value that Toyota owners and lessees feel they have suffered, alleging their cars were the victims of unintended depreciation even if they did not directly suffer from the alleged cases of unintended/sudden acceleration.

Jumbled Text Messages Could Be Indicative Of A Stroke

We've all seen funny screen captures where the autocorrect function of our smartphones results in rather embarrassing and unintended messages, but at the same time it looks like maybe the next time you receive a jumbled text message, there is a slight chance that this could be indicative that the sender could be having a stroke. According to a report, a man in Boston received a couple of text messages from his wife where he could not understand what she was trying to say.

Skyrim Dragonborn DLC For PS3 Coming Early 2013

The Skyrim Dragonborn downloadable content (DLC) which has been seen by many to be stillborn, does seem to have a fair shot at arriving on the PS3 platform sometime early next year, and this bit of information came from the folks over at Bethesda themselves. The game developer is said to be hard at work to deliver Dawnguard and Hearthfire to the PS3 platform, too. In fact, a day before the Skyrim Dragonborn DLC arrived for Xbox LIVE, Bethesda mentioned in an update on their official blog by dropping hints that the DLC's release date for the PS3 is early next year.

Google Received 50 Million URL Removal Requests In 2012

Now that we are at the end of 2012, it makes perfect sense to do a recap of all that has happened in the year, taking stock of the situation and what not. We did bring you a story about how Google removed a fair number (2 billion!) of fake views from YouTube, and here we are with the grand total of URL removal requests for the entire year – numbering approximately 50 million thereabouts.

Generate Your WiFi Password As A QR Code

Now here is a story that you might just want to live it out, especially when you have an organization or do invite plenty of friends over to your place often. Since we live in a mostly wireless environment these days, folks would definitely ask, "May I have your WiFi password please?" A Reddit user decided to do something about this situation, and has "enlisted" the help of QR codes to get the job done. In particular, an extremely large QR code that is subsequently printed out and framed, so that you can just let them use their smartphone app to scan and enter the code themselves.

Google Removes 2 Billion Fake Views On YouTube

With 2013 just around the corner, Google is starting early with its resolution to remove millions of fake views on its popular video streaming service, YouTube. According to Daily Dot, around 2 billion fake views were removed from YouTube channels belonging to Sony/ BMG, Universal Music Group, and RCA Records, following reports of black hat view count-building techniques. These techniques required using unethical search engine optimization tactics that increases view counts. For example, Tapangoldy, a 16-year-old seller of YouTube views, uses Fiverr as a conduit for his services.

Astroboy (Roboy) A Future Possibility?

Humanity is still very far from coming up with a robot that is so intelligent, it could function in the same way that we see C3-PO and Sonny (from I, Robot fame) interact. Well, this does not mean that we are not going to try (and hopefully, not die trying). A team from Switzerland has taken it up upon themselves to create a humanoid looking robot that intends to come in the form of a realistic robot boy. Known as Roboy, it was developed by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the University of Zurich, and comes across as a tendon-driven humanoid robot which will share a similar physical size as that of a human four year old.

Huawei Ascend D2 Caught On Camera

So word has it that Huawei's Ascend D2 could be making an appearance at CES 2013, and given the scale of CES it wouldn't be surprising if Huawei decided to take that opportunity to show off their new products. We've seen renderings of the device before, but if you're curious as to how it might look like in real life, photos of the Ascend D2 handset have been caught on camera (via IT Home). Unfortunately these are not full body shots so we guess we will have to wait for more leaks or the official unveiling to see more of it. In the meantime hopefully these photos will be enough to give you guys a basic idea of what to expect.

When Curiosity made its famous Mars landing this past summer, it started its very important mission to study the mysterious red planet to discover a number of things, including if we could one day treat Mars as a second home. Today, NASA is announcing another important mission that includes you, your smartphone and Foursquare as you can add an exclusive Curiosity Explorer badge to your collection when you like NASA on Foursquare and check into a planetarium, science museum or NASA visitor center.

Norman, OK Chevy dealer sells rather than selling out

Just like any other retail store, car dealerships are as much about branding as they are about selling products. So when Marc Heitz decided to design his Chevrolet franchise to resemble more of an outdoor enthusiast store rather than a conventional Chevy dealer, General Motors stepped in by stopping payment of quarterly dealer bonuses to the tune of $250,000 each. Now, Automotive News is reporting that rather than redesigning the store or losing an estimated $1 million per year in bonuses, Heitz has instead sold his franchise to a cross-town rival, David Stanley Chevrolet.

Samsung reportedly plans to ship 510 million phones in 2013

We know that Samsung has recently beat Nokia as being the top phone maker of 2012, and it looks like they have no plans of slowing down in 2013. According to a report from The Korea Times, they claim that based on their source who is supposedly an executive at one of Samsung's key supplies, Samsung has plans to ship more than half a billion mobile devices in 2013 - 510 million to be exact. This is definitely an increase over 2012 where Samsung targeted 420 million. Out of the 510 million, a whopping 390 million will be smartphones alone which means that Samsung is pretty sure that their new smartphones will be hits.

Ducati has finally put the finishing touches on its newest race bike: the 1199 Panigale RS13. To celebrate, the team took its newest creation down to Mugello for a quick sprint around the track ahead of its date with the World Superbike Championship.

Speed bumps used to diagnose appendicitis?

This. doesn't seem right, but just bear with this report from Wired. It seems as though driving over speed bumps can reveal those who are enduring acute appendicitis. This was a rumored thing among medical circles based purely on anecdotal data, but now there is an empirical study by the University of Oxford and Stoke Mandeville Hospital in the UK to back it up.
Apparently, when attempting to diagnose appendicitis, some doctors would ask if pain worsened when driving over speed bumps. It was not exact medicine, but according to Dr.

i-Transport Robot Wheelchair Lets Rider Stand At Full Height

Being seated in a wheelchair to get around does take some getting used to, and it is safe to say that most of the time, you are bound to the seat's elevation if you want to reach out for a particular object, which say, is on a shelf or on top of a cabinet. What do you do then. Get a robotic arm to do the job on your behalf, or perhaps ask someone else in the house for assistance. Perhaps if you were seated in the i-Transport robot wheelchair, things might be very different as you gain more independence on your side.

The results have revealed that the GT-N5100 will sport a display resolution of 1280×800, and a quad-core Exynos 4412 processor on board clocked at 1.6GHz and that it will run Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean right out of the box. It is unclear as to what this device might look like or when it will be launched, but given that CES 2013 and MWC 2013 are around the corner, we couldn't think of a better time for Samsung to show off their new products.

iOS 6 Increased Adoption Rate Due To China iPhone 5 Launch, Not Google Maps

It was a little over a week when Google Maps was re-released onto iOS, was on top of the App Store and earned itself over 10 million downloads in the first 48 hours of its availability, and because of that, mobile ad company MoPub deemed it being the sole reason why iOS 6 adoption grew 29%. But it seems that report may have been a inaccurate as other factors outside of Google Maps being made available probably weren't considered in MoPub's report. Last week didn't only mark the release of Google Maps, but it also marked the official release of the iPhone 5 in China, which comes pre-loaded with iOS 6.

NASA's Z-1 Prototype Spacesuit Is Beginning To Look More Like Buzz Lightyear

NASA has finished testing its Z-1 prototype spacesuit. The Z-1 spacesuit, which was first revealed in July, was praised for its versatility. Today, we are looking at the rough final design of the prototype. Judging from the image above, which shows the spacesuit's large hemispherical transparent dome and classic white suit with bright green stripes on it, it interestingly bears a passing resemblance to the fictional character in the Toy Story franchise – Buzz Lightyear.
The key design of the Z-1 prototype spacesuit is its large port that has been attached to its back.

Slovakia gets super with Praga R1 (video)

Yes, bare-bones roadsters like the Ariel Atom and KTM X-Bow are nice, but we can't help but feel those machines are held back by their (quasi) street legal status. What we want is a carbon fiber track animal. Something like the Praga R1. The Slovakian-built racer reads like a personal wish list for going faster. With a curb weight of just 1,261 pounds dry and 210 horsepower from a Renault four-cylinder mounted amidships, the R1 should be a blast to fling around a road course.

Looking to better compete with mainstream luxury automakers, Maserati has already announced its plans for expanding its model lineup. Now, these spy shots give us our first look at a new, smaller sedan that resurrects the Maserati Ghibli nameplate.

Aside from its name, we don't know much about the 2014 Ghibli, but we do hear that this Maserati, like the upcoming Maserati Levante SUV, will have a direct lineage to a Chrysler product.

The affected models, built from July 15, 2011 to April 20, 2012 have headlights that apparently don't conform to US federal motor vehicle safety standards. The lamps can be aimed horizontally but not vertically, which can reduce their usefulness for the driver and blind oncoming traffic if aimed improperly.

So what's the reason behind this drop. Is it because the iPad is more popular, or they no longer believe in the capabilities of Blackberry.

The Freedom i-Connex Combi iPad case and stand with Bluetooth keyboard solves three common needs for either a heavy user of the iPad 2 or newer  user. In one package, you get a “smart cover” that also can contort into a stand in either portrait or landscape orientations, a heavy-duty, rubberized case, and a decent but compact rechargeable Bluetooth keyboard that stows in the case when not in use. You could probably assemble a suite of products that would do each of these functions, but in this case the i-Connex Combi is greater than the sum of its parts.
