Only in Korea thought. As a 69-years-old Korean lady name Cha just got hers after passing her driving test on her 950^th attempt. Ouch! Might not happen at anywhere else in the world, and while the rest of the world is laughing at her, she happily drives her ‘Soul’ around. Hopefully the ‘Soul’ doesn’t get crashed on the first trip home. Read more…

TomTom might not be the best GPS software for your iPhone, but they are ‘kind’. In an effort to maintain compatibility with Apple’s latest iPhone, TomTom is now including a simple adapter for all Car Kit orders going out on the 1^st of September and later.

You’re paying another $50 for making your already-GPS-capable phone usable in your car, instead of spending another $200 for a dedicated GPS navigator. What’s more, your GPS will now stay in your pocket whenever you leave your car, making your car safer from GPS thieves.

Apple is opening the AirPlay tech up to third parties, which will be exclusive to them.

Not everybody needs the world’s fastest mobile GPU, so NVIDIA is sagely trickling down its Fermi magic to more affordable price points today, thought ‘affordable’ is very subjective in my mind. Anyway, the GeForce 400M family is being fleshed out with five new midrange parts: GT 445M, GT 435M, GT 425M, GT 420M and GT 415M, to give them their gorgeous names – two heavyweight champions known as the GTX 470M and GTX 460M. Features shared across the new lineup include a 40nm fab process, DirectX 11 enabled, CUDA general-purpose computing abilities, PhysX-support, and Nvidia’s Optimus graphics switching. 3D Vision and 3DTV Play support will be available on all but the lowest two variants. Too bad, but like I said, 3D comes with a price. Anyway, NVIDIA claims that, on average, the 400M graphics cards are 40 percent faster than their 300M series counterparts, ‘so they say’.
