Earlier this week, the guys at Pioneer let me drive around in one of their cars for a couple of days to test out the AVIC-F10BT in-dash satnav entertainment system. And now that I’ve tasted the supple delights of the AVIC, my own car’s stereo system seems old and tired, like a Hollywood starlet who’s let herself go.

Sony’s Ultralight $1300 Carbon-Fiber Netbook Has the X-Factor

Like the starlet of a successful network TV show entering its third season, Sony’s new Vaio X notebook has lost a lot of weight.

‘Road trains’ look like a severe pile-up in the making

You’ve probably seen a road train before. A couple of tankers are often hitched to a single truck cab, and even several cabs can be stacked up for transport.

Review: WD TV Live HD Media Player
