This year in review

There have been alot of things going on this year. So here is a list of the most significant stories we have covered

(in no particular order)

Samsung Galaxy nexus :




Google's new ICS (ice cream sandwhich) , or Android 4.0 , flagship phone, made its debut this year. It features all sorts of nice goodies such as Face unlock and more


- Death Of the crown victoria




This year we also said our final goodbye's to the beloved Ford Crown Victoria. Production of this fine automobile finished on August of this year. This marks the end of an era. Its a shame they stopped making it. This is a prime example of how automakers are slowly getting rid of the "fun" American car for more appliance like automobiles. RIP Ford Crown Victoria.


- SOPA

The "Stop Online Piracy Act" was introduced to congress this year and is still ongoing. If the bill passes, it could lead to the destruction of the internet itself. We still encourage you to take a stand against this, even if your not a US citizen (Im Canadian for your information).


-Steve Jobs




This year was also a sad one for Apple. First, Steve jobs resigned from Apple as CEO and joined the board of directors. This was the first sign of something being wrong. Then , a few months after, and a few days after the iPhone 4S press confrence, Steve Jobs past away at the age of 56 from Pancreatic Cancer. Apple had lost their most key member. Apple had lost a visionary.

- Google+




This year also Was the year that Google+ was launched. It is Google's first sucessful answer to Facebook. Unfortunately, there have been a few changes since my review and Farmville is now terrorizing Google+ .


Test Drive Unlimited 2



This was also a significant year for Tech and Car. Not only was TDU2 , the long awaited sequel to the Tdu1 ,released but , Tech and Car Got 3rd Place in the contest, earning a free copy as well as a Free AMD video card(as well as a bit of publicity)Thank you Atari!!!

And thats it for this year. Regular programming will resume in the new year. Happy New Year everyone!!!

Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays, from Tech & Car
and remember, don't drink & drive!!!

A quick note on SOPA

The "Stop Online Piracy Act" or "SOPA", is an act that has been floating around for a while now, It basically states that all websites that have anything in connection with facilitating or promoting distrbuiton or streaming of copyright material, are to be blocked by isp's. Also no one may make money off these sites via ads. If passed, this bill could lead to the destruction of the internet itself. This is where you come in. Tech & Car, along with Google, Tumblr , Facebook , Wikipedia and other major organizations/companies, as well as you can speak out against this bill and put an end to this bill by signing a petition via the link (or by contacting any of the companies that support it).Together we can save the internet.

- 1280x720 resoloution (720 P) ( again .... apple has lost the game)

- Android 4.0
