John O'Quinn was famous both for his skill as a lawyer — securing $17.3 billion in a tobacco settlement — and his incredible car collection. He was killed this morning when he lost control of his Suburban and crashed.
The son of a garage owner and car enthusiast, O'Quinn never lost his interest in automobiles and automobila. His collection rivals almost anyone's and includes hundreds of famous and well-known cars including half-a-dozen Duesenbergs, one of JFK's Continental limos, Source: Jalopnik RSS Feed
Despite what he said back in August, Asus CEO Jerry Shen confirmed this week that they will in fact be releasing a smartbook product sometime during 1Q2010.
This is a dramatic about face from what was stated previously, I wonder is Asus perhaps underestimated the demand for small, lightweight, Android based products when they made their previous statements. Mr. Shen also said that Asus R&D has been working quite hard, and we should expect to see quite a few new products from them in Source: CrunchGear RSS Feed
Click for 2x ZOOM! The last of Nyko's Big Three from E3 has hit the marketplace, and it's a doozy. The "Zoom Case" is, uh, well, it's a protective case for the DSi with, yep -- that's a gigantic camera lens attached to it. And would you look at that? Nyko saved up enough for a real-life model.

Those of you who woke up extra early this morning to get in precious alone time with your Xbox 360 (we understand - we do it all the time) may have been tricked when a mandatory system update greeted you in place of the dashboard. Alas, the much ballyhoo'd Facebook/Twitter/Last.fm update has not yet arrived, as Microsoft's Major Nelson points out on his site.
Instead, the update brings with it support for the now five-year-old WPA2 security protocol. With that new and improvedSource: Xbox 360 Fanboy RSS Feed

In a rather odd unfolding of events, it seems as if Barnes & Noble is finally clearing up the mystery behind that Plastic Logic e-reader slated to hit its retail locations by Spring of 2010.

Resident Evil is not complete with out at least one super hot, action hero, man body to drool over/personify. I think it is safe to say that the RE experience is a solid place for gay men to "flesh" out their boyhood fantasies of being with/becoming the sexy hero.

I'm not normally a huge fan of graffiti, but I like Jesse Grave's this technique of using mud stencils to make temporary graffiti. It seems like a nice, low impact alternative to moss graffiti, plus you get to play with mud! He seems to be getting good results, however I wonder how well it holds up as it dries out. Anyone else try something like this? [via inhabitat]

Have you all watched your tivoed instances of the Brazilian Grand Prix? Excellent! Then you know full well that Formula One’s new champion is here and his name is…
Jenson Button, the whiz kid of late 90s gokarting, who found himself in a Formula One car at the precocious age of 20.
He would probably never have guessed the nine bleak years that would follow, 155 races with a single lucky win in Hungary, punctuated by mediocre or downright horrible racing cars.
Electronic Arts’ Need for Speed auto racing game series has sold over 100 million units, the company said Wednesday.
This puts the franchise into a very select tier: According to Wikipedia, this sales barrier has only also been broken by the Mario, Tetris and Pokemon series, in addition to EA’s Sims, which crossed the line in 2008.
Speaking with Wired.com last week, Electronic Arts vice president Keith Munro said that the series’ success as of late has mostly been due toSource: Game|Life RSS Feed

Kleer now has a set of wireless earbuds specifically designed for iPods. The DigiFi Opera S5 set adds an iPod-compatible transmitter as well as some remote buttons on the earbuds.
Wireless earbuds are still a rare commodity although there are quite a few wireless headsets, both Bluetooth and other wireless transports. The Kleer set, as you can see from the photo, still has a sizable receiver directly attached to the earbuds, but at least they sit unobtrusively behind your neck.

Of course price and HDMI audio capabilities aren't the only factors when choosing a video card for your HTPC, so you might want to keep waiting -- you know another few weeks -- for a version that doesn't take up two of your card slots for a fan that is no doubt anything but quiet.Source: Engadget HD RSS Feed

Both Layar, one of Europe’s pioneers in augmented reality browsing, and the popular restaurant-finding app Urbanspoon are using the technology to mark up the real world.
