Good, rational decisions are rarely born out of fear. Yesterday, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) met to discuss a massive collision involving “two school buses, a bobtail, and a passenger vehicle” back on Aug. 5, 2010 in Missouri. This collision was caused by a truck driver who was texting while driving. While there is no doubt that texting or reading anything on your phone is a bad idea and a ban on it is probably a… Read More

Hacker Gagandeep Singh has developed a do-it-yourself project for designing a grid of LED lights on the rear window of a vehicle without obstructing the view from the rear-view mirror. Singh is interested in providing feedback to drivers that don't pay attention to the rules of the road. Using his Volkswagon Polo as the guinea pig for the project, Singh created plans for a 40 x 16 LED matrix display with LED lights that allowed two… Read More

All the talk about the hazards of using a cell phone while driving a car must have passed straight over the head of Brit David Secker. Perhaps he simply got confused about the idea of using a cell phone hands-free. Whatever the case, the 34-year-old was caught by police using not one, but two mobile devices while driving along at 70mph. A BBC report on Monday said that Secker was seen “talking on one phone while holding the other as if texting.”… Read More

Tweeter: A very small driver, often 1-inch in diameter or less, which produces high frequencies, a.k.a “treble.” Cabinet: The structure in which a speaker’s… Read More

It has been a tough road for the Driver series…no pun intended. The franchise has been somewhat hit or miss, with a heavier emphasis on the “miss” in the last few years, but Ubisoft thinks they have worked out the kinks in the newest entry to the series, Driver: San Francisco. After debuting the game back in June 2010 at E3 to a solid reception, the title has since gone to ground and remained fairly quiet while Ubisoft Reflections finished work… Read More

Strike fast, strike first! That may not be the official motto for Ubisoft, but it should be. Hot on the heels of the official Nintendo 3DS announcement earlier today which gave a ship date and price to the handheld device, Ubisoft followed suit with an announcement of its own, highlighting the eight new titles it plans to ship for the device within the first half of 2011. Pricing and specific release dates were not given, but the following… Read More

In 2006, following the critical and commercial flop of the last Driver game, Driver: Parallel Lines, the former publisher, Atari, sold the franchise to Ubisoft along with the developer Reflection Studios. Ubisoft planned to revitalize the once best-selling franchise, and four years later, they have done just that. The last few Driver games were not what one might traditionally consider good- or successful for that matter- so it is no surprise… Read More

According to The Inquirer, NVIDIA is planning on releasing the driver with the name ForceWare 2.0. The new driver will promise “up to” 20 percent performance increase and include an overclocking utility.

Quote from the review at Vipers Lair: “There was a trade-off between using the different driver sets, which should be expected. If you want the absolute best visual quality, as well as a driver set with overclocking built in, be sure to check out Omega's drivers. If you want maximum performance, download the newest Catalyst drivers along with the Rage3D tweaking utility.” Read the full review
