Flying Car Soon to be Released


The Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA), in association with the department of defense is getting ready to launch a new flying car for soldiers in the field. If it succeeds, the car will be able to seat four, cruise in the air like an airplane, drive on the ground like an SUV, go 250 miles on one tank of gas, and it wouldn't require a runway to get airborne. Proposals for a prototype are being accepted starting May 27.

MIcrosoft Reveals New Phones


Microsoft revealed the meaning of their secret "Project Pink." They announced that they are coming out with two new phones called Kin One and Kin Two. They are said to be very different form the upcoming Windows Phone 7, and are based on social media. They will run a Zune-like browser and will support Zune programs. A major turn off for many people though is that the phones will have no third party application support.

Conan Returns to Late Night


Conan O'Brien has recently struck a deal for his own late night talk show beginning at 11 PM on TBS. After several months of negotiations with FOX, he finally decided to go with the cable network instead due to reservations from local FOX affiliates. Conan will be squaring off with other big cable late night shows such as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Initially Conan and his people were cautious to join TBS at 11 PM, because another show was already filling its spot, The George Lopez Show. As you might have guessed, Conan was not eager to push another late night host of of their time slot, but Lopez himself gave O'Brien his blessing and practically sealed the deal. Conan's new show is expected to air around November.

TBS's promo for the show can be seen here:
