Friday Roundup - Cars, Stars and Gadgets

OK - seems like lots going on today, and I'm busy, so condensing a few posts down to this neat little one package.

First off, pricing for the Jag XKR was announced - $86.5k for a real roof, $92.5k for one of those material things that fold down when it's sunny.

Next up, couple of Porsche spy pics - the new GT2 (which apparently might have lots and lots of carbon fibre in it, and up to 500bhp), followed by the facelifted Cayenne (which is still damn ugly) - both courtesy of World Car Fans.


















Star portion reserved for those bad boys with the alcohol - Mel Gibson got 3 years probation for his recent incident, and it looks like the boy from The Sixth Sense didn't get quite so lucky, and could be looking at a full 3 years in jail!

On the gadgets side, rumours of Microsofts Zume being just a remake of Toshibas Gigabeat player, Tivo wins a patent infringement case against Dish Networks, but then Dish immediately gets an injunction on the injunction, so they don't have to shut down their systems just yet. In more interesting news, Lions Gate is sort of confirming all the rumours of a Video iPod, with news that it had signed up with Apple to distribute digital movies through iTunes.

And that's all folks. Lunchtime over, back to work.
