2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Road Test – Review – Car and Driver

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Road Test – Review – Car and Driver: "There's only one engine for U.S.-bound Outlanders: a 3.0-liter V-6 that produces 220 horsepower and 204 pound-feet of torque. It's a smooth-enough engine, but it lacks midrange muscle compared with the optional V-6s in the Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Santa Fe, and it feels barely adequate for a vehicle that weighs 3800 pounds in all-wheel-drive form."

Ford Fiesta S - Least Expensive Cars of 2014

Ford Fiesta S - Least Expensive Cars of 2014: "Fiesta has been updated for 2014 with a new slick-looking front end and a greatly improved dashboard. $14,795 buys you air conditioning and an AM/FM radio with an auxiliary input jack, although the color palette is limited (white, black, gray or silver; the red car in the photo is a higher trim level) and you'll still have to crank down your own windows. What sets the Fiesta apart is the fun-to-drive factor, a rarity in such an inexpensive car. Designed in Europe, the Fiesta lives for curvy roads and delivers great fuel economy, even if you spring for the automatic transmission (a high-tech six-speed twin-clutch transmission priced at $1,095). The Fiesta is cute, eager and loveable; too bad it's not the value it once was."

Mitsubishi Mirage - Least Expensive Cars of 2014

Mitsubishi Mirage - Least Expensive Cars of 2014: "Powered by a tiny 74 hp 3-cylinder engine, the featherweight Mirage is EPA-rated at 34 MPG city and 42 MPG highway for the stick-shift and 37/44 (!) for the automatic, which is darn close to hybrid and diesel territory. Mitsu has even designed the structure for easy repairs in the hopes of keeping insurance rates down, and they've backed it with an epic warranty: 5 years or 60,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper protection and 10 years/100,000 miles on the powertrain"

A Tech Founder's Guide To Picking A Non-Tech Founder

A Tech Founder's Guide To Picking A Non-Tech Founder: "This heap of work will far outnumber the portion you have actually encountered. Can your cofounder figure sh*t out? And can they do it quickly? Being amazing at one thing is nice, but honestly not what you should optimize for in a cofounder. Founders are typically just “good enough” at a slew of things: fundraising, product, partnerships, etc."

The Future of Social Networks as Interpreted by 21 Social Media Practitioners | Ignite Social Media

The Future of Social Networks as Interpreted by 21 Social Media Practitioners | Ignite Social Media: "Why mobile? Mobile phones are outselling laptops and more and more people are using their mobile devices for everything. Everything. Pinterest is awesome, but they haven't figured out how to make that mobile crossover. Google+ is a great mobile-based social networking site that businesses should shift over to – tons of room for visual communication there as well."

The Future of Social Networks as Interpreted by 21 Social Media Practitioners | Ignite Social Media: ". I believe Facebook has peaked and is on a slow, painful decent. They have abused people's trust too often and have also not been able to keep up with the way the Internet and the user experience is evolving. My prediction is that 5 years from now, Facebook will be a ghost of its current self."

The Future of Social Networks as Interpreted by 21 Social Media Practitioners | Ignite Social Media: "The problem is that many businesses are missing the whole "social" aspect with social networking and are using social networking sites in a way that's not congruent with how their audience (a.k.a. people) is using this medium."

The Future of Social Networks as Interpreted by 21 Social Media Practitioners | Ignite Social Media: "Clearly the photography revolution has taken hold, and brands absolutely have to respond by building or curating visual assets for almost every story they offer. The other big trend that's happened is the mobile revolution, and frankly, businesses have missed this boat, too. There's no excuse for a web site that doesn't offer mobile functionality"

Facebook Punishes Brand Pages, Instagram Goes Direct, G+ Goes Wild | Social You Should Know | Ignite Social Media

Facebook Punishes Brand Pages, Instagram Goes Direct, G+ Goes Wild | Social You Should Know | Ignite Social Media: "oogle+ Gets into Sponsored Posts In A Clever Way
Unlike Instagram or Facebook, you can’t currently pay to have your content promoted in the stream on Google+. But Google came up with a clever way to promote G+ content anywhere on the web. Called “+Post Ads,” your G+ posts can now run on the Google Display Network of 2 million sites. Brands will only pay when someone hovers over the ad unit to activate it. Google claims that ads gets 50% higher “expansion rates” because of their social annotations. Very clever."

The Blog Flume Filter for February 28, 2013: "the new Harry Potter expansion will open in 2014. This is the first time we have heard any hint about when the expansion would open…and the source is not one that we normally get news stories from.

Additionally, Torrenthut is developing a similar torrent API that will provide the same features,"

BitTorrent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BitTorrent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The BitTorrent protocol provides no way to index torrent files. As a result, a comparatively small number of websites have hosted a large majority of torrents, many linking to copyrighted material without the authorization of copyright holders, rendering those sites especially vulnerable to lawsuits.[47] Several types of websites support the discovery and distribution of data on the BitTorrent network.
Public torrent-hosting sites such as The Pirate Bay allow users to search and download from their collection of torrent files."
