sudshr47 December 11, 2017

If you just can’t wait for the iPhone X, today’s your lucky day.

The new estimate applies to AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and unlocked iPhone X models sold in the U.S, Australia, Germany, and the U.K. Models from T-Mobile, and other countries where iPhones are sold, should ship within six business days. This means that if you order an iPhone X today, it will arrive between Wednesday and Friday — well in time for the holidays. Get those wallets ready! Read more…

Self-driving cars might get their own lane on Interstate 94

sudshr47 November 14, 2017

Self-driving vehicles may get their very own lanes along a stretch of the bustling Interstate 94 in Wisconsin.

This will inevitably bring a ton of commerce-related traffic to the region, so Foxconn asked state officials to consider a self-driving vehicle lane to more efficiently move things to and from the factory.
