| Beatboxing with the Polo GTI: New TV Spot from Singapore Posted: 17 May 2011 08:44 PM PDT  Let's get one thing straight: I'm not a huge fan of beatboxing. It's something me and my friends were big into in junior high, but I've since outgrown it. Others have not. In a recent TV spot promoting the latest-generation Volkswagen Polo GTI, the Singapore arm of global marketing agency Tribal DDB brought in local beatboxing talent Dharni Ng to lay down some slick beats. The result is...interesting, I guess. I'm not really in much of a position to judge beatboxing, so it's hard to tell if this is good or merely average. You can check out the full ad below and an additional clip of Ng "rehearsing" while being driven about in the Veedub. Oh, and don't forget to leave a comment in the section below. Read more »

| Viva Las Vegas: Google Lobbies to Legalize Self-Driving Cars in Nevada Posted: 17 May 2011 12:53 PM PDT  Internet and software bigwig Google has begun lobbying the state of Nevada to legalize driverless cars. The move comes on the heels of some very promising results in California, where Google had mapped out the terrain and sent a couple of its autonomous Toyota Priuses (Prii? Priora?) on an epic jaunt from Mountain View to Santa Monica. The California-based company is keen to point out the claimed benefits of self-driving cars over their human-driven counterparts including better safety, improved fuel efficient and greater environmental friendliness.

True, the feel and the design have remained more or less the same with some subtle changes in the aesthetics and the size of our site, which is slightly more compact, but almost everything underneath is new.
