Lamborghini Ferruccio is one ferocious raging bull
Concept cars can be cruel beast. Sometimes they speed into your life dazzling and overwhelming your automotive senses with their innovative designs and futuristic technologies. Often they’re like nothing you have ever seen before. And as they’re speeding off into the sunset you can’t help but wish they were destined for production – or at least real. Alas, the Lamborghini Ferruccio is neither. Well, that’s not exactly true. While the Ferruccio…
Wikimedia shuns Go Daddy for SOPA support, finally transfers domains away
Wikimedia is officially with Go Daddy no more. On Friday, the company completed its transfer of all domains, including Wikipedia, away from the one-time SOPA supporter as an act of protest. While the official transfer is recent, the decision traces all the way back to December, when technologists were in an uproar over SOPA and PIPA. Technology companies were pitted against one another, after choosing sides in the battle. Among the Web…
Opinion: Did Apple overpromise on the new iPad?
The “new iPad” launched this week, bringing a significant improvement in display quality and 4G connection speeds. But the way it was announced reminded me more of John Sculley’s Apple than Steve Jobs’ Apple. Steve was an expert at setting expectations that the product could beat, while Sculley tended to overset expectations and folks were increasingly disappointed. Sculley’s Apple had problems with execution as well. We saw all of that in the…

Google increases maximum app size from 50MB to 4GB
If you’ve ever downloaded a game on the Android Market, you’ve probably noticed that most of the more complex games make you download large files the first time you launch the application. This has been a source of frustration for many Android users, especially when you take into account Android’s 15 minute refund window which begins as soon as the application is downloaded to your phone. Adding a 1GB download to an application can easily eat up most or all of that 15 minute window, leaving y...
