When you think of safe, effective alternate fuel cars, a few years ago all you’d think about is Toyota’s Prius.  After all, it’s the hybrid car of choice for celebrities everywhere, since it was the first one onto the market.  However, thanks to new developments in hybrid vehicles and Toyota’s safety failures, bad press, and deliberate dishonesty, the Japanese automaker has taken some lumps.  That might be why they’re announcing plans to push a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to market by 2015.

Once again, Toyota is trying to innovate the technology and get other car makers to sign on leases.  After all, Toyota’s had their FCHV on the road since 2007, and supposedly they’ve brought the cost down of manufacturing a hydrogen-powered vehicle by 90%, making consumer cars a manageable, but still outrageous, $50,000 sales point.  Because there’s nothing safer than a Toyota that’s been filled to the brim with the stuff used to make atomic bombs!

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
