Article sourced from the  phaster.com It's quite funny when you realize that Maserati's best selling model in their history is their Levante SUV. Maserati, a company traditionally associated with building fast super sports cars made their SUV and et voila...it sold like crazy. SUVs have come a long way to become a must-have commodity in some markets. They have gone from off-roading farm helpers or militaristic ambitions to being gargantuan sized hoggers practically visible on every curb, road sidewalk. For all you know Tesla could be launching one into space right now.  Companies like Lamborghini with their URUS, Bentley with their Bentayga are new "off-roaders" for the wannabe market because their "customers want it". Bugatti is planning to make one, and so is Ferrari. Literally, most supercar makers are planning an SUV. But why are they so bloody famous now?  Read the article from the 'phaster' below: " Why SUVs Suck and

1. HP Spectre 13 2018 When it comes to small form portability and drop-dead gorgeous looks the HP Spectre beats everyone on this list. Oozing spades of class, this is the kind of laptop that could even make your Mac loving friends jealous. The 2018 version predictably comes with Intel's latest Coffee Lake processors  as well as an optional 4K display.  While this list is not in any particular order, the Spectre ( in my opinion ) takes the cake for the best outright. While all the laptops mentioned have superb performance there is no laptop maker that can claim to beat this design. Take the white and silver/rose gold version ( which costs extra)  if you really want to make your mates glare daggers at you in grudging envy.  However it only comes with USB-C ports ( apparently HP does give dongles in the box but there are many conflicting reports over this) and since it's so thin battery life takes a hit. SSD performance is also nowhere close to a comparable Macbook Pro.

Story sourced from Reuters The White House will hold a meeting on Monday on U.S. government efforts to boost quantum information science, with administration officials, leading companies including Alphabet Inc , IBM Corp , JPMorgan Chase & Co  and academic experts taking part.   Quantum computers could operate millions of times faster than today’s advanced supercomputers. Experts have said the promising technology, still in its infancy, could have a major impact on healthcare, communications, financial services, transportation, artificial intelligence, weather forecasting and other areas. The technology carries major national security implications because quantum computers potentially could break traditional internet security programs or other codes. The meeting was organized by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Jake Taylor, the office’s assistant director for quantum information science, said the administration plans to publish a

This list is in no particular order 1. Mercedes AMG Project One wearing zebra undies in the UK The flagship car of the Mercedes Group, the AMG Project One was caught pants down, roaring its way around German companies UK test site. Built to combat the increasing number of supercar/hypercar from its revenue hurting rivals, the Project One is set to slot one step above the AMG GT providing much better performance which naturally comes at a price. And even if you do have the money, you have to prove you have owned over 20 + Mercedes cars in your lifetime. Much selective, But we like. Other camo covered cars are the next-gen Audi R8 and the 600 + hp BMW X6 M. 2. God Of War get beaten by your friendly neighbourhood SpiderMan Sadly I don't live in New York. Nor have I been bitten by a spider. Nor do I have a PS4. But about 4.3 million people with PS4's ( obviously) have now become part of the Spidey Gang. 3.3 million copies sold in 3 days with another 1 million pre-orde

The Cambrian explosion was one of the most significant milestones for early man. Aside from peanut butter, sliced bread, or the warmth of a fire on a cold night ( I mean there were no fluffy pyjamas back in the days), us Earth beings have never ( probably ) experienced such a gargantuan increase in intelligence or complexity. The world went from unicellular organisms to multicellular species in one giant boom some 540 million years ago. An exciting theory called  quantum evolution could be the key to understanding it. Yes nowadays adding quantum to almost any word gives an entirely different meaning to that particular word. Take a shower for example. Normal showering would mean getting inside the bathroom and washing your body with an amalgamation of water and soap. But for all, you know quantum showering could be like the Schrodinger's cat experiment. You are both washing and not washing your body at the same time. Wonderful. They say history repeats itself. And in the t

I always wonder what Alessandro Volta said when he built the world's first battery. Probably 'Eeeks' when he connected his cell and made a dead frog belly dance. Back then a friend Luigi Galvani was dissecting his frogs only to make them twitch when his iron scalpel touched the frog ( which was in turn connected to a brass hook). Like in the movie 'Cars' Luigi got it wrong. And the rest is a very messy short-circuited electrolyte filled history of chemical power. Still, it shows how far we have come. Since Volta's 'pancakes' the human brain has conceived brilliant, fast, even rechargeable batteries. But could both Luigi and Alessandro have remotely imagined that their chance discoveries could lead to an automotive revolution? After all " Luigi only like the Ferrari's" and before this generation Ferrari was probably the prime connoisseur of petrol power. It would have been considered a heavily Italian accented 'No!'. But the LaF
