Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories Headed To PSN Next Week

Rockstar Games has been steadily re-releasing its Grand Theft Auto games on the PlayStation Network as we've seen releases for Grand Theft Auto 3 , Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The only other Grand Theft Auto games that have yet to be released onto the PSN are its Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories, and those are the two exact games that are being planned for release next week. Both Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories will be PlayStation 2 Classics, meaning they won't have any sort of enhancements to the games graphics or gameplay.

Trinity - Jawbone JAMBOX - Powerful sounds with super compact Bluetooth wireless speaker

I think it can find its place in the Japanese market. It's a small, cool box with 85 decibel sound output, able to be paired up with 8 Bluetooth devices, and has 1seg ability. It is compatible with a lot of music, video, game-related apps so sound can be greatly enhanced over smart devices and it is a hands free “Conference on the go” allowing great sound quality for calls, Skype, etc., and audibly lets you know who is calling and the remaining amount of battery.

Freeride E-Speed Electric Motorcycle

What you see above is known as the Freeride E-Speed electric motorcycle, although it is right now still in the prototype stage, where the Freeride E-Speed hails from KTM-KISKA. It certainly is a beauty to cast your eyes upon, where it performs just like how a normal commuter would expect it to, and also has the capability of performing offroad as well, which means your weekends would be a whole lot more exciting.

Ceramic Device Housing From Apple Could Feature In Budget iPhone

Apple does seem as though they have not given up on ceramic device enclosures, where this time around, they are checking out a unibody kind of design that has been fabricated from layers of the substrate, using a technique which is akin to those used when laying up fiberglass, and there is at least one analyst who believes that it will feature in a rumored low-cost iPhone. Apple's patent filing was meant for a “Multi-layered ceramic enclosure” that shares the same kind of property that Cupertino applied for in 2006.

AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 Gets New Firmware Update

It was just yesterday that folks who are rocking to the Nokia Lumia 920 flagship device from the Finnish smartphone company on AT&T were on the receiving end of a totally new firmware update, and it does seem as though this particular firmware update would form the basis of future updates for other Lumia devices, which carries with it its fair share of changes, especially for the display time-out that can be found under Settings > Lock Screen. Right now, select users on a few Windows Phone devices can choose from the following quartet – 30 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes and 5 minutes.

2014 Toyota Highlander greets the world with NYC debut

Toyota has pulled the wraps off its all-new, 2014 Highlander in New York this morning, giving Americans a first look at what is sure to be a heavyweight in the mid-size crossover segment. The new third-generation Highlander will come with the buyer's choice of three different powertrain options. The base model will be powered by a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel-drive. Next up the ladder is a 3.5-liter V6, also mated to the 6AT, which can be had with either front-or all-wheel-drive.

Audi S3 Sedan boasts SAE 296 hp, 0-60 in 4.7 seconds

The (technically speaking) 2015 Audi S3 sedan should start at right near $39,000. An S3 sedan is what. Audi was nice enough to usher us in to a private audience with this hotly awaited model in a westside Manhattan pier warehouse prior to the official unveil at the New York Auto Show tomorrow. Here is just a knee-jerk reaction to lead off... She do look damned fine, kids. (We'll have live images to share soon, so keep an eye on this post later.)

Propelled by the ubiquitous 2.0-liter TFSI engine, the S3 sedan with six-speed S-tronic should reach 60 miles per hour from a stop in 4.7 seconds.

Volvo uncovers widespread cheating by its Chinese dealers

According to a report in Reuters, the findings of an internal investigation conducted by Geely-owned Volvo is that its Chinese dealers vastly overreported their sales numbers in 2011, then even more vastly underreported their 2012 sales figures. About "half the dealers" out of the 151 total outlets gamed the system in order to get incentives for reaching volume objectives, falsely recording about 7,000 more units sold than was actually the case. Instead of 47,140 cars sold in China in 2011, the real number should have been 39,871.

Lamp Scale Shines According To Weight

Now here is a scale that is definitely worth checking out, and when you see it, you do ask yourself sometimes, how come no one has thought of it before. Designer Junji Kawabe's Lamp Scale is a lighting fixture that functions not only as a scale, but also as a lamp, too. The brightness level of this bad boy depends on just how heavy of an object you place on top of it. In a nutshell, should the object be heavier, the brighter the lamp will shine. A gravity controlled lamp, if you will.

This special concept will basically enable users to control the amount of light based on the number of grams that are sitting on top of it.

Thanko Prism Glasses Gives Your Neck A Respite

Sometimes, being all uptight and formal is just not our style. After all, why be so formal when you can sit back and relax when the situation allows it, especially after you have had a particularly difficult day at the office. I guess this is where this pair of Thanko Prism Glasses is all about. There are moments when you just want to kick your shoes off, relax and lie down on the bed, all the while wanting to watch what's being shown on the TV without requiring you to lift your neck.

Apple Pen Computer Patent Reissued

Apple has recently been issued their pen computer patent, although this time around, the reissued patent would throw in the likes of cellular connectivity in order to help it keep up with the Joneses, while dropping hints of a future mobile device from the house of Cupertino.

Which comes first - the accessory or the phone?

Remember waiting for weeks for accessories to be available for your new phone.   Being extra careful not to scratch your new gadget until some company had time to get the new device, finalize their case design, produce it, and get it ready to ship it.  Apparently those days are gone, and accessories are available before the gadget itself now.  I actually had a new iPhone 5 case for a week before the iPhone 5 itself actually arrived – and it was a perfect fit.

Moshi Unveils Luna Keyboard For Mac With Backlit Keys

Are you in the market for a new keyboard for your Mac computer. If you are, Moshi has unveiled the Luna Backlit Mac keyboard, although with it being priced at $100, it does put it out of the range for consumers who are simply looking for an alternative to Apple's own brand of Mac keyboards. However if the design above is striking already and you wouldn't mind getting your hands on it, here's some of the specifications of the accessory. The keyboard will feature Mac-friendly media keys, a numerical keypad and will come with scissor-switched chicklet keys, somewhat similar to Apple's default Mac keyboard.

T-Mobile To Offer Free Alicia Keys Tickets For First 10 Blackberry Z10 Customers

T-Mobile confirmed that the Blackberry Z10 will launch on the 26th of March, and if you were thinking of getting your hands on the device, being first in line has its benefits. According to the reports, T-Mobile is apparently giving away tickets to Alicia Keys' concert and $25 off for the first 10 Blackberry Z10 customers. It's pretty generous and the good thing is that if you're not a fan of Alicia Keys, you could always sell those tickets off, ultimately reducing the amount you spent on the Blackberry Z10 in the end. If you are a fan, we guess this could be considered a win-win situation.

Facebook Rolling Out Threaded Comments For Popular Profiles And Pages

  Late last year it was revealed that Facebook was working on threaded comments. At that time it was just an experimental feature, though the social network did confirm its existence. It didn't exactly say when threaded comments feature will be rolled out for its 1 billion plus users. This feature is actually quite useful as it would allow users to reply directly underneath someone's comment making it easier for everyone to know who is talking to whom. Today Facebook rolled out threaded comments for Pages as well as popular public Profiles that have over 10,000 followers. We can consider this to be a soft roll out for this feature.

Melbourne Motor Show cancelled, Sydney might follow suit

Organizers have cancelled the Melbourne Motor Show in the face of declining attendance and lackluster support from automakers. Australia has already seen shows in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth close their doors, and with Melbourne following suit, Sydney is the country's last major auto show left standing. According to reports, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries and the Victorian Chamber of Commerce – the two parties behind the Melbourne expo – have plans to remake the show in the image of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, but this year's efforts were crippled when Volkswagen Group pulled its participation.

While either of those devices have yet to be officially announced or even acknowledged by Sony, the folks at Sony Alpha Rumors have received a tip from a source that come 3rd of April, Sony could be making an announcement, although it is unclear as to what it could be about. Since the Las Vegas NAB show is taking place on the 8th of April, it wouldn't be completely out of the question if Sony were to make announcements prior to the event.

NHTSA SaferCar app allows consumers to track safety ratings, recalls

While many car shoppers say safety is a big factor in their choice of new car, there hasn't been an easy to way to access data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The government agency's website is clunky at best, and close to unusable on mobile devices. That's why NHTSA decided to release the SaferCar app for mobile iOS devices. Users can easily access crash test ratings, recalls and complaints about hundreds of cars. Use the app to scan your car's VIN and it will even alert you to news and recall notices.

Sony has recently revealed that they are also working on a somewhat similar idea, where a patent that is known as the head-mounted display apparatus with patent number 20130069850 was recently spotted, and will continue from where the patent filed by the company in 2008 and 2009 left off.

2014 Cadillac CTS images leak from somewhere

The redesigned 2014 Cadillac CTS will be unveiled this Tuesday on the eve of the New York Auto Show, but as often happens, some images of the car have leaked onto the web a few days early. Previously, the only information we had on the 2014 CTS concerned the all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will be found underhood, rated at 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. While none show the new car in its entirety, the images do show much of the front end, particularly the headlights that feature vertical bars of LEDs that start down low as foglights and continue up to the top of the front fenders.

The chrome or painted strip currently between the Durango's Zorro taillamps have been removed to allow for a full-width LED array with "DODGE" lettering displayed more prominently above the license plate pocket.

As tools, assistive robots passively or actively bridge the gap between what we might refer to as “normal” everyday life and that of someone working to overcome an age-related, injury-related, or even emotional disability. There are basically three active and emerging sectors in assistive robotics: telepresence, physical enhancement, and stand-alone assistants.

Pininfarina to build handful of Sergio Roadster models?

At just about any other auto show, Pininfarina's Sergio Roadster would've been the uncontested showstopper – but at the Geneva Motor Show, where supercar reveals stack up like cordwood and there are plenty of coachbuilt classics-to-be, the Sergio was merely stunning. But its beauty shouldn't be overlooked, and apparently it hasn't been – Pininfarina is seriously considering a very limited run of the roofless, windshield-free sports car. With just five or six examples in the possible production run, the Ferrari 458 Spider-based barchetta could fetch some three million euros.

EA Offering Free Games To SimCity Mayors Irked By Server Issues

EA and SimCity have been in the news quite a lot this past couple of weeks. SimCity was released in the first week of March and despite the fact that it was very highly anticipated by gamers, it still managed to bring in a lot of negative press. This due to the fact that SimCity features always-on DRM, which requires players to be connected to the internet at all times. EA sold more copies than it had anticipated, which in turn caused server issues at their end.

One of the downsides to owning an electronic gadget that you use on a daily basis is that it is prone to wear and tear and eventually breaking down.
