Keep Your Eyes on the Road
by Josh Rubin
Sony's latest in-car GPS unit, the NVXYZ777, displays a 3D rendering of the streets and buildings of Tokyo. This high resolution touch screen device also has 30GB of storage and is capable of playing back audio and video files potentially making it a complete media solution.
While this thing looks amazing and I absolutely want one, I'm afraid I might watch it more than the road. If it only showed you the other cars on the street, maybe that would be ok...

It's Time to Free the Bees
by Ari Bendersky
A Band of Bees wants you to Free the Bees.
On their second full-length album, the Isle of Wight duo returns, not only to the fold but also to some classic rock roots. I don’t really remember liking the Bees music in the past, but the first time I put on Free the Bees, something was different. I was immediately drawn in to their retro sound, combining some elements of ‘70s arena rock but heavily falling back toward the sound of the original British invasion of the ‘60s. Band of Bees takes its cue from groups like the Zombies and the Turtles, developing a neo-psychedelic sound that hasn’t been heard in a long time.
