AT&T's 64GB HTC One A US Exclusive

There is nothing quite like the air of exclusivity when it comes to a particular device or gadget, as can be seen by the 64GB HTC One from AT&T which has been touted to be an exclusive device available Stateside only from that particular carrier. Assuming that is true, this would mean that you would have no other choice than to stick to AT&T Wireless as your mobile carrier if you want to tote around 64GB of internal memory on your HTC One without having to purchase an additional microSD memory card for storage purposes.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners – in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public.". The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term.

Shelby Raptor is a 575-horsepower off-road goliath

. Shelby American has definitely proven itself when it comes to tuning the Ford Mustang – look no further than its new 1,200-horsepower Shelby 1000 – but now the Las Vegas tuner has turned to the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. The big change for this already high-performance off-road pickup is the addition of a supercharger atop Ford's 6.2-liter V8, with spent gasses exiting through a Borla exhaust system. This improves the horsepower rating from a stock rating of 411 up to a shenanigan-ready 575.

2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is headed for US

Despite the fact that Daimler's press release doesn't mention this company by name, we have to assume that the 28-kWh lithium-ion battery in the upcoming 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive comes from Tesla Motors. What Daimler is being much more clear about is that the B-Class EV is coming to the US earlier than you might expect, in early 2014. The car has a range of "around 115 miles" and is being unveiled today at the New York Auto Show. Last year, there was a hint that the electrified small Mercedes-Benz would have a range extender, but the information released today is all electric, all the time.

HTC Is Already Planning Successor To The Butterfly/Droid DNA

The HTC Butterfly, or Droid DNA for those in the US, was released just last year and unsurprisingly it seems that HTC is currently planning its successor. According to HTC's Ben Ho, he confirmed that HTC is apparently looking to capitalize on the fact that customers seem to enjoy extraordinarily large displays for their phones, namely with devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the LG Optimus G Pro. In fact flagship phones from Sony and Samsung have also encroached upon phablet territory with their 5" displays.

Nokia's most affordable Windows Phone 8 device in the market to date is the Nokia Lumia 520, which is the moniker that it is called worldwide, but if you so happen to reside in the US of A and are a T-Mobile subscriber, then be prepared to pick it up as the Nokia Lumia 521 from that part of the world. While no specific release date for the Lumia 521 has been shared just yet, its official release should not be too far away from the horizon, as the Lumia 521, going by the model number RM-917, has just picked up FCC approval earlier today.

Facebook Extends VOIP Calling To The UK

Facebook announced earlier this year that its VOIP service would be launched initially to users in North America. Now the good news is that Facebook has decided to expand their offering and is now offering the same service to Facebook users in the UK. This VOIP feature is part of Facebook's Messenger app that is available for mobile devices, like the iPhone. Facebook's VOIP feature acts like a regular voice call, with the ability to leave voice messages in the event that your friend is offline. At this point in time we're not sure when Facebook will roll this service out to other regions, so we guess you guys will have to be patient for now.

Triggerfish Bronze A2 Watch Survives C-4 Blast

Watches are considered to be a fashion accessory, and there are watches that have been designed merely for show, and watches that have been designed to withstand drops, water immersions and more. While Casio's G-Shock line of watches are pretty impressive in terms of durability, we're thinking it might have a hard time holding its own against the Triggerfish Bronze A2 by German designer, Kaventsmann Uhren. While the watch looks pretty unassuming, it has been put through some pretty rigorous testing, such as being tested at pressures up to 300 bar, as well as being detonated with C-4 explosives.

Samsung Orb Could Arrive On The Galaxy S4 With The Android 5.0 Update

Back in February earlier this year, it was rumored that a Samsung feature called the Samsung Orb could be announced for the Galaxy S4. For those who don't know what the Samsung Orb is, it is a rumored feature that is supposed to be Samsung's answer to Photosphere, a camera tool that allows for taking 360 degree panoramic photos. However when the Galaxy S4 was announced, there was no mention of said feature, leading us to believe that perhaps the Samsung Orb was just a mere rumor and nothing more.

Getting to know the cars of Fast & Furious 6

The team at Universal Pictures recently invited us check out the real stars – the machinery – of its upcoming action thriller Fast & Furious 6, due in theaters on May 24. On hand at the studio special effects facility were more than a dozen vehicles, each with its own unique story to tell. Giving us special insight to the logistical nightmare of coordinating the 300-400 vehicles consumed during filming (sadly, nearly all were destroyed) was Dennis McCarthy, the film's Picture Car Coordinator. McCarthy, a true car guy, explained the difficulty of turning a street car into a Fast & Furious celebrity.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer.

Polestar says goodbye to Volvo C30 in video tribute

The Volvo C30 was put to its eternal bed a few months ago, but the tuners at Polestar have a little more eulogizing to do. The Swedish house of speed that has raced and reworked the little hatch since its introduction in 2006 wants the world to know what they've been through together, so it has encapsulated seven years of around-the-world action into three minutes and 28 seconds of track footage and champagne. We're still waiting on word of a replacement for the funny little hatch, and while we lament what could have been, the video above proves that the C30 provided plenty of thrills for those outside of the US.

How nasty, foot-long 'wandering meatloaf' snails could improve car batteries

"Slow" and "ugly" are words used to describe some hybrid cars and, coincidentally, the gumboot chiton. Soon the two may have even more in common thanks to a discovery by researchers at the University of California, Riverside. Gumboots, also known as the "wandering meatloaf," are foot-long marine snails that roam tidal zones, scraping algae from rocks by using up to 80 rows of magnetite-tipped teeth. Magnetite, the "hardest biomineral known on Earth," not only strengthens the gumboot's chompers, it makes them magnetic as well.

RBH EP2 Noise Isolating Earphones review

RBH Sound began as a maker of speakers for other companies and has since become a respected name in their own right. They jumped into the personal audio arena with the EP1 earphone and now offer the EP2 Noise Isolating Earphone. The EP2 is identical to the EP1 except that it includes a microphone module for phone calls and music playback control. This is a welcome addition for busy commuters and people who need to be constantly connected. However, the main reason for buying earphones is audio - or more specifically - audio quality.

RBH has nicely packaged the EP2 earphones in a sturdy box with a magnetically closed lid.
