McLaren's newest sports car 570S Coupé did not choose easy rivals - Porsche 911 turbo, Audi R8 and Ferrari California - but the first in the series of sports vehicles of this British brand hopes for a rich booty, as the leading men put the burden of doubling sales on it. Our appetite was greatly whetted by the previous McLaren 650S model, but time will tell if the 570S Coupé, powered by a 3.8-liter eight-cylinder engine with a 570-member "cavalry," can go one step further.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
Google surprised like a bolt out of the blue with the Chromebit mini computer system, which is "published" as a USB stick and with the ability to turn any screen into a Chromebook. Although miniature in size, they managed to cram all the necessary electronics into the equivalent of a Chromebook, which the Chrome OS mobile operating system needs to function. It will serve as a platform, i.e. it will be available to other manufacturers, as is already the practice with Chromebooks.
Bridges can be beautiful and terrifying at the same time. They are an engineering and architectural challenge from which surpluses are often born. Some outgrow the role of functionality and become attractions, even attractions, and with their genius and functionality, with height and other elements, they become a paradise for adrenaline junkies. Are you one of the latter, or is just walking or driving over a precipice or water, where everything is not in your hands, enough adrenaline for you?
In 2003, 18-year-old Brodie strapped a noose to his shoulder and left home. He decided to cross America with freight trains. More precisely by jumping from one to the other. He traveled with them for as many as five years, most of which he also captured on camera. The following photo story was created, which also enriches the newly published book A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, which describes his unusual journey.
Apologies in advance because you're going to be singing Yellow Submarine all day now. The fact is that we will not all be able to live, at least not in this yellow submarine, as the Beatles say in the song, because there is room for a maximum of seven people. But for those seven, the teardrop Y.Co Yellow Submarine with the technical name VAS 525/60 LE MK2, built at GSE Trieste, offers dream dives up to a depth of 160 meters.
As it turns out, the selfie shoes were just an April Fool's joke, although for a moment it seemed that shoemaker Miz Mooz was serious about them. Why? Because apparently selfie sticks aren't annoying enough. And how is the thing supposed to work? There is a holder for a smartphone on the toe of a woman's shoe, and you press the trigger with your toe.
German photographer Dieter Klein chose an interesting subject for his photo series. He is looking for "natural" car cemeteries around the world, places where people have laid their cars to rest and are now overgrown or merged with the environment. Fascinating.
For April 1st, Google has taken Google Maps and turned it into a Pack-Man arcade game. The streets have thus turned into a labyrinth, and the game of our youth can be played on our doorstep (the advantage of the "home playground") or in a location of our own choice. Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde can also be avoided on the Champs-Élysées or in Times Square, and everything is accompanied by the famous musical background.
Presidents (John F. Kennedy), Elvis Presley, and Clark Gable once rode in the luxury Lincoln Continental limousine. The American car, which was once the concept of luxury, collapsed when prestigious cars from Europe and Asia "invaded" America. Now the Lincoln Continental is back, albeit without its signature grille. It's been 13 years since it last rolled off the Ford factory, and the sedan, which debuted at the New York Auto Show, goes on sale in 2016.
Anyone who counts at the moment is advertising underwear. Even Late Late Show host James Corden, who somehow managed to get soccer star David Beckham to join him in a tongue-in-cheek ad for a fictional line of men's underwear, D+J Briefs, which, according to Corden, was ''made for men'' with a beautiful body... and David Beckham.''
The Brik Case is the most flexible laptop cover, strongly reminiscent of the Lego surface, although it is not officially affiliated with the Danish toy manufacturer, nor with Mega Bloks, PixelBlocks and KRE-O and K'NEX bricks, but is therefore compatible with all of them . If you've been looking to protect or spruce up your laptop with this Kickstarter looking cover, you'll kill two birds with one stone.
Since the advent of laptops, smartphones and tablets, personal computers have been losing popularity. It seems like outdated technology, but not if you ask MSI, the company behind the PC Cubi, the world's smallest PC. It used Intel processors with a Broadwell core made with 14-nanometer technology, which enables incredible compactness.
