Rolls-Royce Ghost gets minor updates for 2013

Befitting a creature called the Ghost, it was there and then it wasn't: Rolls-Royce dropped a few details and a picture of the 2013 Ghost, then removed all trace of it from the corporate site. The Internet can't keep a secret, though, so we have the goss on a carryover sedan with a few upgrades. Next year's model takes its inspiration and several new tricks from the Ghost Six Senses concept revealed at the Beijing Motor Show earlier this year. The new natural grain leather, cross-banded wood veneers and "exciter" (high-range) speakers come straight from the concept.

Acura preps ILX for endurance racing challenge

Acura has used the occasion of this year's SEMA show to unveil a 2013 ILX that is remarkably different from the road-going car that we are familiar with. A far distance from the rather mildly performing street car, this ILX Endurance Racer is actually prepped to race at the grueling 25 Hours of Thunderhill in Willows, California. The ILX racers (Team Honda Research has prepped two of them for the race) have actually each been constructed using two donor ILX sedans: one body-in-white chassis and one full production-spec car that donates powertrain, interior and electronic components.

Fusion Drive support on legacy Macs with Mountain Lion

A developer shared that the recently introduced Fusion Drive will have built in support for OS X Mountain Lion, allowing it to be compatible with the hybrid storage device – allowing Macs that did not come configured otherwise to make full use of Fusion Drive to boot. Developer Patrick Stein's post in Tumblr did reveal an unofficial confirmation that OS X Mountain Lion will offer Fusion Drive support for current Macs. When the new Fusion Drive hybrid storage solution was announced earlier this month with the beautiful iMac redesign, it was mentioned that OS X Mountain Lion can operate the system sans any update.

AT&T and T-Mobile opens up networks in New York and New Jersey to ease communications woes

Hurricane Sandy did do a number on the east coast of the US, and we have seen the triumph of the individual human spirit amidst the swathe of destruction that happened. This time around, we are looking at a couple of corporate bigwigs – namely AT&T and T-Mobile who joined forces, helping their customers in both New York and New Jersey to remain in touch with one another during the aftermath of Sandy. Both carriers will be opening up their networks to each others' customers in the two mentioned states, offering free roaming in the process.
