2014 Acura RLX replaces SH-AWD with P-AWS

After teasing us with the thinly veiled concept earlier this year, Acura has officially taken the wraps off its all-new flagship sedan, the 2014 Acura RLX. Aside from its huge step forward in terms of styling and luxury, the new RLX could very well be the most advanced Acura model ever. While the previous RL could have been one of the blandest luxury sedans of its time, the RLX builds on stylish cues introduced this year on the ILX and RDX. One of the car's signature elements is its jewel-eyed LED headlights that could end up rivaling Audi for the most distinctive in the business.

Australian airline company Qantas adds Passbook support for iPhone check-ins

Good news for those who fly Australia's Qantas airlines - it seems that the Australian airline company has added Passbook support to its flights, which means that iPhone users running on iOS 6 will be able to check in using their mobile phones and never have to worry about forgetting to bring their boarding pass. While this might be a more convenient situation for airline passengers, it seems that for now, the tickets will be static which means if Qantas were to change your flight times, the Passbook ticket will not reveal the changes.

Automotive head-up displays to get second wind as safety devices?

Having gone from the C5 Corvette to the bygone Lexus HS 250h to the BMW 7 Series, the heads-up display has entered the "Meh..." phase of technology. To return it to the avant-garde, makers of such displays are working on new and larger applications of the technology that can provide new types of safety information without distracting drivers. The end-all-be-all objective is a windshield-wide display that can project sufficiently bright notifications such as warnings of pedestrians in the way or road shoulder lines in heavy fog.

The anonymous source tipped them off that Samsung will start to ship the ATIV S from week 52 onwards – which would mean that it is the last week of the year, and that translates to the ATIV S being delayed.

The Inside Out concept features a keyboard and touchpad built into the same device

If you're the type of person who needs enough desk space to hold a computer and have space to write notes at the same time, then having a minimalist setup is probably a good way to go. Unfortunately full sized keyboards and mice do take up a fair bit of desk space and if you're looking for a way to minimize that, this keyboard/touchpad concept might be worth taking a look at. Designed by Min Koo Yeo, this concept is dubbed the "Inside Out", and as pictured above, it looks like a rather innocuous keyboard at cursory glance, but according to its designer, it is meant to serve dual purposes.
