Jaguar says F-Type sales off to flying start

As we noted in our recent first drive, Jaguar's luscious new F-Type roadster is a bit of a tweener in both size and cost, lining up in between rival Porsche's Boxster and 911. That one-for-two-segment strategy is showing early signs of paying off, with Automotive News reporting that half of the car's 2014 production allotment is already sold. We're not talking huge numbers – sports cars in this segment only "have a global annual volume of about 75,000 units and a market share of 0.1 percent," notes Jaguar brand director Adrian Hallmark.

Acer rumored to launch $400 Android PC

Android has yet to make a big splash in the PC market, but that could be changing soon. Rumors suggest that Google and others are working on Android-powered notebooks, and the latest says Acer could soon launch a PC based on the mobile OS. Said to be part of their AiO lineup, the “all-in-one' computer would likely feature touchscreen support and balanced specs to provide appealing pricing. Given the relatively lightweight Android OS, the new PC could launch with as little as 1GB of RAM, but it is also said to rock Intel's Core i5 Haswell CPU clocked at 3GHz.

Logitech introduces a Wired Keyboard for iPad with plug-and-play convenience

The school system in my area recently announced they were purchasing a large number of iPads as part of a new education paradigm.  iPads are wonderful, and no one loves them more than me, but I will admit they are more useful for education purposes when they are paired with a physical keyboard for faster, easier note-taking or typing up reports.  When I have passed along an iPad to a niece or nephew, I've always included a Bluetooth keyboard.  They are older and can quickly and easily set up the Bluetooth connection when needed.

Razer Blade Pro and 14-inch models hands-on

Each will come with Intel's fourth-generation Core-i7 quad-core silicon (a 47W chip in the Pro and a 37W CPU in the 14-incher) and a freshly revealed NVIDIA GTX 765M GPU, plus bigger batteries than ever before. If it wasn't already obvious, let us spell it out for you: a big reason for these changes is electrical economy. One of the biggest complaints with any portable gaming rig is its battery life, or more accurately, lack thereof. A more efficient CPU and GPU, plus an extra 10 to 14 Wh of juice means that Razer is acutely aware of the problem and is taking steps to fix it.

Vox amPhones AC30 headphones review

I love to play electric guitar. I love to turn my amp up not to 10, but to 11 (some may get the reference). But what happens when you live in a small house and your housemates don't have the same opinion of the rock god-like skills you possess. The amPhones AC30 headphones from Vox Amplification  may just save your fantasy tour from cancellation. Note: Images can be clicked to view a larger size.

So, all rock fantasy aside I do enjoy playing my guitar loud and with several effects, but it is an issue living in a small house.

Revisiting Dick Guldstrand's forgotten Corvette ZR-1

The crew from Electric Federal recently sat down with Dick Guldstrand to discuss the builder's favorite creation. Guldstrand grew up during the glory days of the California hot rod scene and made a name for himself racing and building Chevrolet Corvette bruisers. In the early '90s, he became dismayed at rumors that General Motors was considering cancelling the sports car. In order to stoke a little excitement, Guldstrand picked up a 475-horsepower Corvette ZR-1 and let designer Steve Winter loose on the car.
