Gooding hoping for new world record with 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K von Krieger Special Roadster

Last year, Gooding & Company smashed the record for the highest amount paid for a car at auction when the 1957 Ferrari 250 TR Prototype sold for $16.39 million at Pebble Beach. Now the auction house looks to break that record with an ultra-rare 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K von Krieger Special Roadster. Called "the most exciting pre-war Mercedes-Benz I've ever known" by David Gooding, the auction company's founder, the unique 540K Special Roadster was originally built for the royal Prussian family in 1936.

Fujitsu starts build-it-yourself PC service, lets you go homebrew without the electrical shocks

Big PC companies are often seen as being at odds with the concept of custom-built computers: apart from letting us tick a few checkboxes before we order, they'd rather we not fiddle with the internals. Fujitsu is breaking the mold and embracing some of that DIY culture with its upcoming Hands-on Custom PC Assembly Service. The Japanese can take classes that teach them how to install their picks (from a limited range) of processors, hard drives and RAM.

Google Nexus 7 tablet gets mid-July arrival dates from Staples in US and Canada

It's no secret that both the 8GB and 16GB variants of Google's Nexus 7 have been set to ship in two to three weeks from pre-orders placed at its Play store. While retailers like Gamestop are also remaining mum on specifics, Staples has stepped up with actual arrival dates on its US and Canadian websites for the 16GB model.

The service allows the owner of  Leaf to better gauge whether or not their battery has enough power left to get them to their destination. The service will be accessible through the internet and via a smartphone app as well. Basically, you plug in a destination and it will tell you how much battery capacity will be used by traveling to your chosen destination based on what types of roads will be used, use of air conditioning, amount of hills, and distance traveled.

Apple still trying for water damage indicator patent, drop-prone device owners twitch (update: granted)

Apple has already sought to patent some elaborate water damage detection methods, but it's also a fan of the classics. That must be why it's still attempting to patent a water detection method that it's been seeking since December 2006, just a month before the iPhone went public. The concept is a simple one that you'll find in many iPhones (and other iOS devices) so far: water-reactive, color-changing tape positioned in a device such that the Genius Bar staffer can see that your device took a dive in the swimming pool without having to tear the phone open.

Tucked away amongst Microsoft's Windows Server 2012 version plans is a bomb for media server PC fans: Windows Home Server is going away. Although the platform was already in something of a comatose state after HP dropped its MediaSmart servers and left the OS without a major vendor to champion the cause, an FAQ reveals the stand-alone build is going away as well. Windows Server 2012 Essentials is taking its place and will handle both media server as well as small business server duties in one package.

Artega fails to sell auto business, files for bankruptcy

As things seem to be incredibly promising at Tesla Motors' California headquarters, the situation for a competitor on the other side of the world is growing quite grim. Artega, which reached our hearts at the Geneva Motor Show just last year with its beautiful all-electric SE sports car, has filed for bankruptcy after failing to sell the company to "an Asian investor." Meanwhile, Artega will continue the search for business partners, and will keep running its German operation with 34 employees. The news is disappointing to say the least, especially with Tesla's Roadster dropping from production in 2011.

Olympus announces MEG4.0 wearable display prototype, skips the skydive

While Google may have grabbed headlines for its recent wearable tech, Olympus is doggedly forging ahead with its own prototypes, seven years on. Unlike Project Glass, the MEG4.0 isn't a standalone structure and needs a glasses frame to hang on, although the sub-30g unit shouldn't tax it too much. The QVGA (320 x 240) display can connect to devices through Bluetooth 2.1, with Olympus pointing to a smartphone hook-up to provide both the processing power and internet connectivity - which sounds different to what we're expecting from Google's effort.

RIM under pressure to slash carrier fees, which now account for one-third of revenue

Bloomberg News, via The Financial Post, reports that the troubled BlackBerry maker is now facing pressure from mobile carriers to slash the fees it charges them in exchange for giving their wireless subscribers access to RIM's BlackBerry server infrastructure. The carrier fees generate more than $4 billion in annual revenue for RIM, meaning the firm could soon be taking a hit in one of its major sources of revenues.

HTC smartphones did not infringe Apple patents, U.K. Judge ruled

It was widely known as the first ever lawsuit filed against an Android device manufacturer. Today, the battle for supremacy continues, as Apple, dubbed as the “patent troll”, takes the lawsuit to the U.K. However, it seems that HTC is winning the duel this time around.

McLaren debuts topless MP4-12C Spider

There are certain elements the world can always use more of. Chief among those is, of course, beer, although convertible supercars capable of cresting 200 mph certainly make our list as well. Fortunately, McLaren has scratched that itch with its brand-new MP4-12C Spider. Like its hardtop cousin, the machine can climb to 62 mph from a standstill in just 3.1 seconds, though the drophead boasts a slightly lower top end of 204 mph compared to the 207 mph of the coupe.

Galaxy Nexus is nowhere to be found on Google Play

It looks like the decision of U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh today to reject Samsung's request to lift the injunction filed by Apple against the Galaxy Nexus is finally taking effect. That's because the Galaxy Nexus is no longer available for purchase at the Google Play Store. We headed over to Google Play to check out the device and interestingly the device is now listed as “Coming Soon”. However, Google did not provide any reason for the disappearance. So, has Google finally complied with the preliminary injunction?

While that could be possible, it's also important to note that there are other possible reasons as well.

Google patent filing would identify faces in videos, spot the You in YouTube

Face detection is a common sight in still photography, but it's a rarity in video outside of certain research projects. Google may be keen to take some of the mystery out of those clips through a just-published patent application: its technique usees video frames to generate clusters of face representations that are attached to a given person. By knowing what a subject looks like from various angles, Google could then attach a name to a face whenever it shows up in a clip, even at different angles and in strange lighting conditions.

Samsung fails to prevent US tablet sales ban

At the end of last month, Samsung was faced with an injunction from the court that resulted in the possibility of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus receiving a sales ban in the US – one of their major global markets. Not too long after that, Samsung naturally went on the defensive and decided to contest that injunction in the court, only to have their efforts shot down. Not only that, a US judge did reject another request by Samsung to prevent a ban on its Galaxy Tab 10.1 sales in the US, which is the third legal blow against the South Korean conglomerate in a space of one week.

Production R8 e-tron sets lap record at Nürburgring, Audi gains more EV bragging rights

Suffice it to say, Audi's been garnering loads of press these past weeks for its e-tron vehicles. Hot on the heels of its recent, R18 e-tron-led victory at the 24-hour Le Mans, the automaker has set a world-record for production EVs at Germany's Nürburgring. Using an all-electric R8 production model, driver Markus Winkelhock zipped around the 12.92-mile course with a lap time of 8:09.099. For comparison's sake, the fastest lap by a gasoline-powered production car of about seven minutes and 57 seconds is currently held by the Gumpert Apollo Sport — which just-so-happens to use a 700hp (515 kW) Audi V8 motor.

Kiwi ute drift goes all wrong, then all right

What he does next, though, is something straight out of a ridiculous Grand Theft Auto videogame scenario, and the payoff is terrific.
