It is by no means a standard production car anyway, but this amazingly futuristic vehicle only exists in virtual space so far. It is going to be available for download for the PS3 game Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. Whether the car will become a reality remains to be seen, but just check out the spec listed below - very impressive I'm sure you'll agree. The amazing GTbyCITROËN is the first ever car to be specifically designed to bring the virtual and real worlds together. The car makes ...

  Schwinn Bicycles, America’s most recognized bicycle brand, today unveiled the Tailwind electric bike to bicycle dealers attending the annual Interbike International Bicycle Expo, the largest bicycle trade industry event in North America. When I first saw the unveiling courtesy of CNet's Loaded podcast (with Natalie del Conti) I must admit I raised an eyebrow.  Wouldn't a battery in a bicycle defeat the purpose of an exercise? :)  Ah, but later I found out that in some countries, people commute to work, the market and anywhere else in bikes.  China, Amsterdam, Japan... as examples.  So in lieu of an exercise, pedal energy conservation was the prime motivation.  To bring people from point A ...

  The LG Dare by Verizon is CNet's most popular gadget, number 1 baby!  The iPhone was set back to the number 2 position.  I tell you, when I heard this on CNet's top 5 podcast, I couldn't believe it.  But yes... good 'ol iPhone has taken the #2 slot.  At least for this week. The LG Dare has an intuitive touch-screen interface, an advanced 3.2-megapixel camera.  Now this is something the iPhone doesn't have!  And I think this is why it has nudged it's nose past the tape to win the favorites race.  It sports a full HTML browser, EV-DO Rev. A, and plenty of other powerful features. It also has excellent call quality. Let me ...
