LOS ANGELES So whats it like driving the Chevrolet Volt?

Nice, actually. There are still some bugs to work out before production begins late next year, but at this point the Volt promises to be a sweet ride.

General Motors turned us loose in a pre-production model to do some laps around Dodger Stadium. We spent about 45 minutes with the range-extended electric vehicle and added 8 miles to the odometer. Thats hardly enough time to offer a definitive assessment but enough to say the Volt is attractive, practical and fun to drive.

In other words, its a real car.

SanDisk Corporation announced that it has begun shipping its next-generation flash memory-based solid state drives (SSD) for netbooks, offering high-performance components at a competitive price.
SanDisk SSD P2 and S2 employ a new technology called nCache, which improves netbook performance. Netbooks are small, low-cost computers that offer consumers a highly portable means of surfing the Internet, accessing email as well as enjoying their favorite music and videos on the go. Market researchers, IDC, project consumer purchases of netbooks to rise from 11.5 million sold in 2008 to 50 million in 2013.
