Inside Line speculatively renders what they think the next generation Mustang will look like. Rumor has it that heavily retro 60s-inspired look of the current S197 Mustang will give way to a modern style that draws heavily on 2011 Evos concept.
This new rear drive platform is expected to include the first independent rear suspension since the previous generation SN95 Cobra. Hopefully this new model will benefit from the weight reduction efforts going on throughout the Ford lineup.
I like this direction, still looks like a Mustang but brings the design into the 21st century. What do you think?

Maurice Sendak will be missed by all of those that appreciate great writing 1
I spent many hours reading Sendak's works to my kids when they were little.
Reshared post from +Justin Hyde
RIP Maurice Sendak, one of the best children's book artists to ever put pen to page. While everyone remembers "Where The Wild Things Are," I'd note that his classic "In The Night Kitchen" — a Caldecott-winning story of a dreamy escape that Sendak later said had hidden references to the Holocaust — remains among the books most banned by school libraries because the little boy in the book is nude for a few scenes. That story came out in 1970, and four decades later people are still trying to catch up with Sendak. If you haven't seen him mess with Stephen Colbert, I can't recommend it strongly enough.

A range of only 100 miles from a 41.8 kWh battery pack is not much to get excited about especially for $50,000. With only 2,600 units coming over 3 years, this one definitely falls into +John Voelcker's compliance EV category.

This is an interesting article about George Hotz (aka geohot) the hacker that cracked the security code of the Sony PS3. While Hotz is an interesting character, perhaps the more interesting part of this tale was the subsequent cracking of most of Sony's websites by online activists angry at the company's legal attack on Hotz.
From a PR perspective, Sony's attack on Hotz and the removal of the ability to run Linux on the PS3 was a colossal blunder. On the other hand the counterattack against the Japanese giant, exposed huge lapses in Sony's online security. While it's unfortunate that so much consumer data was stolen, the hacks against Sony and other follow-on attacks made the world much more aware of how big companies handle security. Hopefully everyone has taken this as a learning opportunity and addressed these problems.
Unfortunately I suspect there are still a lot of big organizations that have not taken the lessons to heart.

While my wife +Julie Abuelsamid and I were hanging out in South Beach last week we took a long walk along the beach each morning. Every few hundred yards, there was a lifeguard tower but unlike what I've seen along other shorelines, every one of these towers was unique. No two towers had the same design or color scheme. One morning I took along my camera took a series of photos some of the towers we saw.

One of the problems with developing new aircraft engines is how to test them in airborne environments before the planes they are meant to propel even exist.
Pratt and Whitney has acquired a pair of Boeing 747SPs that have been retired from airline service and modified them to allow installation of prototype engines. Larger engines are mounted on one of the four standard wing positions on one aircraft while the second plane has been modified to accommodate smaller engines on a special stub wing hanging from the 747 hump. AviationWeek takes a look at how this was accomplished.
