FileLocker delivers encrypted cloud storage

Perhaps the introduction of the FileLocker encrypted cloud storage would help strengthen your faith in the security of cloud storage, no. Just to get off on the right footing, FileLocker is a folder sync and collaboration service, where it touts to deliver end-to-end military-level encryption of files which are stored on its servers. In layman's terms, all data will be encrypted on your desktop, during transit with 256-bit SSL, as well as in the cloud.

2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost

A Bench-Warmer In Waiting. I hail from Cleveland, and that means I'm familiar with sports franchises that are always falling short of championships. The Indians, the Browns, the Cavs – they've all come close, but being a resident of C-Town means learning to appreciate the effort more than a reward that never seems to come.

2013 Mercedes-Benz GL350 BlueTEC

Full-size, seven-passenger sport utility vehicles don't get much better than this. Fresh off a complete second-generation redesign, the Mercedes-Benz GL350 BlueTEC is the oil-burning variant - and the entry-level model - in the automaker's GL-Class lineup. A luxury SUV with an efficient diesel engine screams "Roadtrip!" – so I loaded up my family of four and headed north up famed California State Route 1 to Hearst Castle for the day. The well-isolated GL proved every bit as spectacular as newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst's "ranch" on the hill, seemingly determined to justify its recent accolade.

TI-84 calculator with color screen surfaces, geeks giddy with anticipation

Texas Instrument's TI-84 makes quick work of graphs and equations like nobody's business, but it's done so for years while clinging to an outdated black and white screen. Now, however, it looks like that'll change for at least one flavor of the souped-up digital abacus. Cemetech forum user 0rac343 posted a photo of a TI-84+ C Silver Edition, claiming that it was one of 24 provided by TI for in-classroom testing and that it's slated to launch next spring. Tech Powered Math reports that a contact who's worked with Texas Instruments has confirmed that the calculator is the real McCoy.

Inhabitat's Week in Green: Dyson Spheres, bladeless wind turbines and airless bike tires

Over at Inhabitat, the election hangover is finally starting to wear off, and we've been looking forward to see what President Obama's re-election could mean for clean tech and renewable energy. The first bit of good news came on election night, when Obama called for action on climate change. That's all well and good, but what does it actually mean. For starters, it could mean the EPA enforcing stricter regulations. But the thing that most people in the renewable energy sector will be watching is whether the wind energy tax credit is renewed before it expires at the end of the year.

The Simpsons USB flash drives

America's most dysfunctional cartoon family, the Simpsons, is definitely one of my favorite cartoon series to date – and for good reason, of course. The offbeat humor, parody of certain real life characters and situations, and generally the script as well as storyline with characters who seem absolutely real and alive did it for me. I am quite sure the merchandise juggernaut for the Simpsons is a force not to be trifled with, and here we are with the latest edition of The Simpsons USB flash drives.
