"Last month, General Motors raised some eye brows when it announced its 60-day satisfaction guarantee program giving customers the ability to drive their vehicles for 60 days and return them with zero minimal risk. A month ago, we told you that only one vehicle had been returned under the program, and that guy simply traded his manual tranny Corvette for one with a six-speed slush box. Now, a little more than two months into the promotion, the General has a still fairly insignificant 193 (out of 220,000 sales) customers who have returned their vehicle under the program, and GM says some of those customers decided to purchase different or better equipped GM models." - Chieze Okoye from Bookmarklet

""We have captured it! First circulating beam of 2009!" And with that tweet, researchers at CERN announced that they did in fact activate the Large Hadron Collider, after quite a long delay and despite warnings of a looming, nefarious Higgs boson. Whether or not we will have had total destruction as an unfortunate result of the device remains to be seen, but should the future find a way to either cease to exist or travel to the past in some time-bending paradox, we only hope linguists and physicists can work together and figure out the proper verb conjugations for this brave new world." - Chieze Okoye from Bookmarklet

"Facebook is coming to a PS3 near you as part of the latest 3.10 update, which will be rolled out over the course of the next day. We knew it was coming, but Sony has been vague about exactly when the update would land. Turns out it was sooner than most people probably guessed, coming only a day after the November 17 release of Facebook’s integration with the Xbox 360." - Chieze Okoye from Bookmarklet

What the heck? You're moving to Seattle?! HOLLA. - Mona Nomura

"So, finally the sun has shown itself here in Stockholm, so I decided to shoot some samples some days ago over lunch. I also added some from earlier the same day when it was a bit more grey though. For those of you that know me from the Satio Launch Blog this is a post in the same style as I did with Satio samples. There are some important things to remember though. I’m not that used to X10 yet so I haven’t found all the settings and such to really optimize my shots. These are not tripod-shots so camera shake could be more visible than some of the Satio samples. (I’m working on some DIY tripod mount for X10 since I can’t use our tripod accessory, I do miss that fastport some times ) This is of course with pre-release SW and prototype HW so don’t take these samples as true indications on what the final quality will be like, there are lots of things still to be fine-tuned and changed. I tried to shoot a mix of different type of pics from macro to landscape and also with different levels of sunlight and shadows for you to at least get an idea of what it’s capable of already at this pre-release stage." - Chieze Okoye from Bookmarklet

"If you are - as the Zenvo ST1 claims to be - Denmark's first supercar, you want to do the job properly. Uphold national pride and all that. Which is why, if you are Denmark's first supercar, you should not limit yourself to either a turbocharger or a supercharger. If you are Denmark's first supercar, you need both. You need 1,104bhp of supercharged, turbocharged 7.0-litre V8 nestling in the middle of an angular, over-the-top lump of supercar." - Chieze Okoye

"So Chrome OS, and the various enhancements Google is developing to milk every bit of potential from the Internet, are shaping up nicely. But there is still one major hurdle to overcome -- HTTP, or hyper text transfer protocol. HTTP is what browsers and and Web sites use to define how and when data is passed back and forth. The problem is that HTTP has existed, more or less in its current form, since 1996, a time when Web sites were primarily simple documents with static text and images." - Chieze Okoye from Bookmarklet
