Is Bigger Really Better for Tablets?
HP just announced the Rove 20, a 20-inch all-in one PC ( Windows 8) with a multi- touch display, which makes it more of a tablet. Not expected to be available until July, this $1,000 monster tablet may not appeal to many consumer who have come to enjoy a smaller form-factor. Don't be surprised if these monsters of the Midway find a niche home. Microsoft just signed a deal with the NFL - they may make excellent playbooks. The double duty device has the potential to satisfy a number of features on any geeks must have list.

Google All Access
Radio without rules - Your personal library blended with your own.
As expect Google launches its own music service that will compete with the likes of Spotify and Pandora. Google actually has a better mouse trap. You can create your own music catalog and modify your library on the fly, either removing or adding from all access. The power of Google is most apparent in the Listen Now feature, which makes suggestions to the types of music you may want to hear and it will even create radio stations for you.
Google is offering All Access for $9.99 a month , $7.99 if you sign-up before June 30th.

Tesla Model S - It's Ready to Go!
Sure Goldman Sachs may have downgraded Tesla to neutral - but Consumer Reports says its a BUY!
After testing the Tesla Model S, Consumer Reports has awarded the stylish electric car an impressive 99 out of 100 score. This is the first electric vehicle to receive such a high score.
According to Jake Fisher, director of Automotive Testing for Consumer Reports, "The Tesla Model S is packed with technological innovation," - "It accelerates, handles and brakes like a sports car, it has the ride and quietness of a luxury car and is far more energy efficient than the best hybrid cars."
I was lucky enough to take more than a few spins on the Consumer Reports test track in Connecticut a few years ago. It was awesome. I drifted the track in a G35 (traction control turned off) , a Mini Cooper, a Cadillac CTS, and a Mustang. I image that the Tesla was a beast on the track.
And I want one!
