Walhub is an easy way to add storage to your light switch

Walhub is an easy way to add storage to your light switch

When you live in a small house or apartment, storage space is a valuable commodity that has to be managed well, or your house might end up looking like an episode of Hoarders. That's why I love the concept of the Walhub. It is a replacement faceplate for single and double gang wall switches that adds hooks and a storage slot to a location that would otherwise go unused. Available in rocker or toggle switch styles, the Walhub features an easy to install design that will allow you to orient the hooks on either the left or right side of your switches.

Toyota again hints that a new Supra is under development (video)

Now that the NSX is on its way back, the list of sports car revivals most yearned for by US enthusiasts is probably down to the Mazda RX-7, Nissan 240SX, Lotus Elise and Toyota Supra. There's been a lot of talk about that last one over the past year especially, with rumors of an all-wheel-drive coupe utilizing a CVT last May, a Toyota engineer declaring he was instructed to develop a new Supra in November (and another MR2 in case you're wondering), a tie-up with BMW in January of this year that highlighted a "mid-size sports vehicle" and the incoming company chairman saying he wants something "comparable" to the Supra just two months ago.

Real Racing 3 Makes Its Way Onto BlackBerry 10

Real Racing 3 Makes Its Way Onto BlackBerry 10

Choosing a smartphone platform has many considerations, such as popularity, ease of use, and how many apps it has, just to name a few requirements users might have. While having plenty of apps is certainly a good thing, having quality apps is just as important as well. After all what's the point of having thousands of apps if you've never heard of any of them before, right. Well the good news for BlackBerry 10 users is that it looks like another popular app has made its way onto the platform and it is in the form of EA's Real Racing 3.

Vodafone Confirms Talks Underway With Verizon Wireless To Sell Its Stake

Vodafone Confirms Talks Underway With Verizon Wireless To Sell Its Stake

Earlier today rumors were circulating that Verizon Wireless is currently in talks with Britain's Vodafone to buy back the latter's 45 percent stake in the largest U.S. carrier. Vodafone has now confirmed that talks are indeed underway, adding that there's “no certainty” that both parties will reach an agreement. Analysts expect that if a deal is reached, it may be worth up to $125 billion, making it one of the biggest deals to take place worldwide in the last decade, second only to Vodafone's acquisition of German carrier Mannesmann in 2000 for which it paid $181 billion. So what would Vodafone do with this massive cash influx.

Galaxy NX Camera Release Date & Price

Galaxy NX Camera Release Date & Price

We first saw the Samsung Galaxy NX camera during the June 20 Samsung launch event in London. Since then, we were waiting for the final price and release date. This is now confirmed: the Galaxy NX will come out in the USA in October at a starting price of $1599.99 (body) or $1699.99 (body+kit lens). We take it that "October" usually means "late October", but we wouldn't mind being surprised by an earlier availability.
We knew that Android cameras were unavoidable in general, and sensed that the original Galaxy Camera was only the beginning.

"The New Padfone Infinity" shows up on ASUS site, benchmarks show Snapdragon 800 processor


It's been a while since we last heard from ASUS and exactly what the Taiwanese manufacturer was planning on doing with the ASUS Padfone Infinity. Unveiled back during Mobile World Congress, the PadFone Infinity was ASUS' latest convertible device that upped the ante from the previous ASUS Padfone 2 packing an all new sexy industrial design, upgrading both the resolution of the smartphone and tablet portion with a full HD 1080p display, and powering it with a Snapdragon 600 processor. I've been dying to get my hands on one since then, but so far ASUS has been mum on US availability… and now we may know why.

It takes a lot to get a product noticed in today's fast-paced world, but one avenue that's always seemed to grab the eyeballs of consumers has been humor. Toyota knows this rule well, and has put together a quartet of spots called "Tacoma Wins," in which the midsize pickup's features and specifications best a number of seemingly worthy competitors. Whether it be sobbing girlfriends, a circus magician, a grim reaper or the scariest thing of all, a mime, the Tacoma looks well equipped to deal with it.

Performance Is Not Only Reserved For The AMG Badge. If someone asked you to name a moderately priced, fun-to-drive, compact, rear-wheel-drive sport sedan, the BMW 328i would likely be the first vehicle that pops to mind. After that, other four-door models like the Cadillac ATS, Lexus IS250 and even the Audi A4 (if you are willing to accept its rear-bias all-wheel-drive system) would follow suit.

The 100th running of the Indy 500 will happen in 2016, and in anticipation of the centenary celebrations, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has begun Project 100. As part of a request the track made for state funding to assist with the plan (which is expected to cost from $70 million to $100 million), track officials have announced plans to upgrade infrastructure, add more video boards and better grandstands. Fan experiences and promotional venues are also part of the plan, and better lighting could "make it possible for some races to run at night.". A blog and interactive content will keep up with progress and new ideas.

Suzuka signs on to host Japanese GP through 2018

Some F1 races have a permanent home while others bounce around, but some have yoyo'ed between two circuits their entire history. The German Grand Prix, for example, has (with few exceptions) been held either at the Nürburgring or Hockenheim. The British Grand Prix alternated between Silverstone and Brands Hatch for decades before the former won out. And in Japan, it's always come down to either Fuji or Suzuka.
Fuji is owned by Toyota and Suzuka by Honda, and the Japanese Grand Prix has always gone back and forth between the two. But these days it's all about Suzuka.

Chevy C7 Corvette gets dyno'd

Chevy C7 Corvette gets dyno'd

Edmunds has gotten a crack at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and has done what many of us have been aching to do since the sharp new sports car debuted on a frigid Detroit night – put it on the dyno. Using a Blade Silver Metallic Stingray, complete with the seven-speed manual transmission and the optional Z51 Performance Package, the team at Edmunds ran the C7 through a number of pulls. The results were remarkably consistent, with a two-horsepower variation across four runs. After the initial sprints, the team took the Vette out for a few more dyno pulls, just to confirm the numbers.

Tesla considers adding overseas production

Tesla considers adding overseas production

Tesla is currently using the old General Motors/Toyota NUMMI facility in California for Model S production, and despite the brand's rapid growth, it's still not coming close to approaching the full 500,000-unit production capacity of that former facility. Still, the EV manufacturer is shopping around for both European and Asian production facilities in anticipation of bountiful increases in sales. While we'd caution that this counting of chickens isn't the best idea, Tesla has just cause for planning ahead. According to Automotive News, Model S production should crest at 21,000 units by the end of 2013, and 40,000 units by the end of 2014.
