Featured Articles Given the current sluggish economy, Gartner has issued a revised, lower projection for the global PC market in 2011, with the research firm now saying it will increase 3.8 percent. Shares of Nvidia increased more than 11 percent during trading on Wednesday, apparently fueled by confidence in sales projections for the company's chips, which are used in smartphones and tablets. The man who could be called the grandfather of the modern eBook has died at the age of 64. Michael Hart began the process of digitizing paper books in 1971 as part of an endeavor that became known as Project Gutenberg. The first text to be digitized, the American Declaration of Independence wasn't done in some fancy scanner. Rather Hart typed the Declaration out on his Xerox Sigma V mainframe in his lab at the University of Illinois.

This car has proven to be the best 5 door hatchback I've ever tested but it is also one of the best showcases of automotive technology.

However, as I end the week and I'm looking back at what I really liked about the car it is amazing what stands out.
