Nook Color Receives Update, Keeps Pace with Nook Tablet

Just because Barnes & Noble released their new Nook Tablet doesn't mean they are done with the Nook Color.

Included in the update is access to Netflix and Flixster, as well as Nook Comics and PagePerfect Nook Books. Netflix and Flixster gives you the same access to these subscription services as found on many tablets and Android devices, while the two new book categories open up a variety of new content.

Bentley bringing 500-hp, twin-turbo V8 Continental to Detroit

The Bentley Continental GT and GTC V8 has been unwrapped and it's a kinder, gentler bulldog that makes do with "just" 500 horsepower and 481 pound-feet from its 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8. That is down 20 horsepower and up just 8 pound-feet from the output of the Audi S8, with which it shares the innovatively-packaged, cylinder-deactivating V8. We're going to guess that's to leave unquestionable space between it and the 631-hp Continental GT, and so Bentley could reach its 40 percent improvement goal with respect to emissions and gas mileage.
