Honda AC-X Concept: Is This the Future of Acura Design?

Car Reviews - 2010 Car Reviews at CARandDRIVER.com - Car Buying ...

Honda AC-X concept

This concept seems like sci-fi, but some of it is closer to reality than you might think.

The Tokyo Motor Show is always good for a few (dozen) far-out concept cars, and the Honda AC-X is one of them. The theme of the car is “Dual Solid Motion”; to further quote the press materials, “The upper portion of the body has a look of boundless energy and the lower portion has a look of dependable stability.” The two sections intersect along the character line that runs down the side of the car.

Filed under: , , , , , ,

Turn Right at Gate 14: Google Maps Adds Floor Plans for Airports, StoresGoogle (GOOG) is solving a problem that many of us have, but that of few us suspected would be dealt with by a smartphone: It's taking its popular mapping platform indoors with interior floor plans of select buildings.

2012 Toyota Prius c

The smallest and least-expensive Prius is also the most attractive and efficient.

The 2012 Toyota Prius C has landed at the Tokyo auto show. Well, not our Prius C; it was the Japanese-market version, called the Aqua, that made its first public appearance at the show. Our C will be essentially the same car excepting left-hand drive and different badges. The U.S.-spec version of the smallest member of the Prius family will be unveiled at the Detroit show in January.

New evidence of an unrecognized visual process

ScienceDaily: Latest Science News
We don't see only what meets the eye. The visual system constantly takes in ambiguous stimuli, weighs its options, and decides what it perceives. This normally happens effortlessly. Sometimes, however, an ambiguity is persistent, and the visual system waffles on which perception is right. Such instances interest scientists because they help us understand how the eyes and the brain make sense of what we see.

How NASA could get its groove back

msnbc.com: Technology & Science

Lightning flashes in the sky behind the Saturn V rocket that will propel Apollo 15 to the moon, July 25, 1971.NASA's better days can appear long past to the public. The U.S. space agency that once landed a man on the moon now wrestles with questions of existential crisis after retiring its space shuttle fleet this year.

Running and Jogging

I know I'm not alone - lack of time and energy are the two most common reasons why people skip workouts, especially during the holidays. But, ironically, regular exercise can improve your energy level so you can run and still get everything else done.
