I'm just glad the Panther 6 made the list although I would have put it ahead of the Mega Track. After all who says high-performance off-roaders didn't catch on. Can you say +BMW X6M and +Porsche Cayenne GTS?

The Most Ridiculous Limited-Edition Supercars Ever Made

I'm digging the name +Ferrari LaFerrari, but the design and engineering are everything I would expect  from a Ferrari flagship

I think this a vastly better looking car than the Enzo ever was and like +McLaren Automotive and +Porsche the boffins in Maranello have adopted hybrid technology to provide more power and better efficiency at the same time. Unlike the P1 and 918, Ferrari has opted out of adding a plug but performance fans can't argue with 950 hp combined and 50% reduction in CO2 emissions (at least on the EU drive cycle that doesn't even begin to exercise what this machine is capable of).  This is a cool video for geeks that explains the powertrain architecture.

I'd love to see +Google add a podcast/netcast/droidcast section to the +Google Play store

Should Google take podcasting away from Apple?

Apple has demonstrated muted contempt for podcasting, with its passive-aggressive stewardship of the content and its apathy about the low quality of its own Podcasts app. 

I believe podcasting is the future of all audio and video media — the future of radio and television — and I’ll tell you why on the other side of the link. 

So if Apple doesn’t want to own the future of TV and radio, maybe Google should take over the leadership role from Apple?

Who’s ready for Droidcasting?
