The New Chevrolet Volt

The New Chevrolet Volt

The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle to be produced by General Motors, expected to be launched as a 2011 model. The electric power for the vehicle is sourced from its on board lithium-ion batteries which are charged by an electrical power outlet and/or the gasoline engine. The Volt's 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack can be fully charged by plugging the car into a 120-240VAC residential electrical outlet using the provided SAE J1772 compliant charging cord. No external charging station will be required. Unlike most current commercially available electric hybrids, the actual propulsion of the Volt is accomplished exclusively by the electric motor. The internal combustion engine is used as a range-extending electrical source, powering the on-board 53 kW generator (which sends power to the electric motor and charges the batteries simultaneously).

Three hackers face charges for stealing over 130 million credit and debit card numbers

A Florida man may have busted the world record for consumer data theft after allegedly stealing 130 million credit and debit card numbers. The US Department of Justice announced Monday afternoon that 28-year-old Albert Gonzales and two co-conspirators had been indicted for conspiracy. If true, Gonzales and gang may have beaten the credit card theft high score of 45 million accounts nearly three times over.

Gonzales, going by the online name of "segvec," and his two buddies (soupnazi and j4guar17, in case you were wondering) allegedly began researching the credit card systems used by various companies in October of 2006 and devised the attack to steal the data in question. The team chose an SQL injection exploit to get around corporate firewalls to steal credit and debit information. Their success had led to charges of conspiracy to hack into certain retail and financial organizations, as well as conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Microsoft vs Apple (I hear Apple called Microsoft asking them to stop airing those ads...)

These are KEVIN TURNER's real words ladies and Gents:

"And so we've been running these PC value ads. Just giving people saying, hey, what are you looking to spend? “Oh, I'm looking to spend less than $1,000.” Well we'll give you $1,000. Go in and look and see what you can buy. And they come out and they just show them. Those are completely unscripted commercials.
