Mike from South Africa blogged about his wish to drive an Aston Martin and got a shiny DB9 for a day. The bloggers from Jalopnik will be taking the Honda FCX Clarity for a ride. The concept car runs on hydrogen emits pure water and gives the gasoline equivalent of 68 mpg. Oh yeah, almost forgot.

It features a tube-based amplifier that provides 40 watts of stereo amplification that can power speakers of your choice. This handmade dock provides charging, USB connectivity and...

Allegedly the new DS will be slimmer than the current DS Lite, includes onboard memory, and features a larger screen. However the console will be sans the slot for Game Boy Advance games support....
