From adding extra batteries to make the world's most famous hybrid a plug-in to putting on solar panels to really tweaking the aero, there's no end to what's possible, it seems. Heck, the latest came just the other day when we saw the Toyota Prius GT300 that's bound for the SuperGT. The latest mod comes courtesy of... |

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Department of Justice is looking to postpone (or possibly withdraw) its antitrust case because the original merger application was summarily yanked off the FCC's table. So what does that mean for the deal?... |

Acer will stop making cheap crap, but keep selling netbooks. Discuss. Here's a bit of a head-scratcher: Acer has said it will stand by its man, which in this case is the netbook, but CEO J.T. Wang also recently told Dow Jones that his company will stop making "cheap and unprofitable products." So, which is it? Will the manufacturer keep churning out the low cost (and even lower specced) machines that it managed to sell 1.7 million of last quarter?... |

The Galaxy Nexus, while something we've been super excited about, is turning out to be a real pain. Why? Because we can't seem to figure out when the bleep this thing is supposed to launch.
