Do you have your own cars? If you do not have any, you might be have your favourite car(s) or just liked some cars. Some people like sedan, but some people else love the tough muscle “Jeep”. People who used to bring their family usually use MPVs, multi purpose vehicles such as minivans or minibus.
My family have two cars, Honda Jazz 2007 (a.k.a Honda Fit) and Honda New Jazz (Honda New Fit) 2008. Both have same colour: dark silver metallic (Honda silverstone colour theme). We are just a small family, we do not do travelling with our own cars. So, we love the small and compact cars. Another example of compact cars are Toyota Yaris, Peugeot 207 and Suzuki Swift.
But, if you prefer the MPVs or SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) you may see the GMC models. In Indonesia, Toyota Kijang (a.k.a. Toyota Unser in some countries) was the most favourite “family and operational car”. But today, there are so many similar product here: Toyota Avanza (the economic, smaller and cheaper version of the luxurious Toyota Kijang), Nissan Grand Livina or Mitsubishi Colt L300.
For sedan lover, there is the rocking Honda New Civic 2009 (oh yes, I love the Asian Edition headlamps) . And absolutely, Mitsubishi Lancer (the road version, or the sporty “Evolution” version). But, Ford Focus Sedan is also rocking too. Our highway patrol use the sport sedans: Focus, Lancer EX and Mazda6.
And, which one is yours? Gallardo, bro?

Do you want to buy a “new” car? Really “brand new” or used cars can be bought easily today. Even you can buy within internet: via a cars “marketplace” website. For example, The Car Connection site.
City cars are the most favourable choice for urban life. Nissan Cube is a nice shot. Compact, small and economic. Suitable for daily commuting or just exploring the town. For the small families, this mini vans are also can be used for family recreations. But it still has enough room space.
May be you need for mini vans, you may try the GMC models. GMC are available as bigger cars or wagon cars. Bigger-sized vehicles and wagons suitable for bigger families or for travelling. Back to your home town must be comfortable with bigger-spaced vehicles.

After some rather impressive RC builds, Firefox 3.5 is all packaged up and ready for public consumption. Mozilla is saying its new browser is more than two times faster than Firefox 3, but what has us more excited is the support for plugin-free “open codec” video and audio playback using Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora– it’s still in its infancy, but the subtle glimpse we’ve seen so far of a world without Flash video reducing our CPU to jelly is rather compelling.

As promised, Steve’s medical leave ended with the month of June. Last January, Apple announced that CEO Steve Jobs would take a leave of absense to deal with medical issues for approximately six months. Since then, we’ve learned that Steve
had a liver transplant and today Apple
confirmed his return.
“Steve Jobs is back to work. He is at Apple a few days a week and working from home the other days,” Apple spokesman Steve Dowling said. “We’re glad to have him back.”
That’s great news for the company and, more importantly, for Steve himself. There has been much noise about Steve during the past six months, including Apple’s future without him, who might take over and the company’s obligation to keep investors informed about the health of their CEO. Here’s hoping the din dies down and that Steve continues to enjoy a long and productive career at Apple.

While the free-market works pretty well when, uh, left alone to be free, sometimes it needs a push from a visible hand. Case in point, phone chargers; at the moment some 30 different types of chargers are used with handsets throughout Europe. Today, the European Commission received industry backing of its phone charger standard that relies on a micro-USB socket. The standard is now backed by all the majors (representing 90% of the European mobile market) including Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Apple, LG, NEC, Qualcomm, Research in Motion, Samsung and Texas Instruments with compatible devices starting to appear in Europe next year. Or course, the micro-USB charger standard already has the blessings of CTIA, OMTP, and GSM Association which implies a broader adoption beyond Europe, someday. One charger for any mobile phone… where’s the catch?

Designer Rhea Jeong’s Void LP player seems devoid of reality, but it was inspired by the very real and very cute “Vinyl Killer,” a little VW Bus that can propel itself around a record and play the tunes with its tinny speaker, naturally wearing out the precious LP in the process. The Void LP takes the concept of a self-sufficient speaker, amp and needle (the red ball), and then tosses them all into the air with a magnetic saucer. We’re sure it sounds terrible, and it seems a little fantastical, but one thing’s for certain: we want.
