Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports

Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports

Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports.

The Elder Scrolls Online Launches On PC, Mac On April 4, 2014

We reported earlier this year the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version of The Elder Scrolls Online will be released in spring 2014, but it looks like Bethesda Softworks has decided to switch things up as not only have they announced when the PC and Mac versions of the game will be released, but have also delayed the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions. Windows PC and Mac gamers who plan on adventuring through the world of The Elder Scrolls Online can proceed to do so starting April 4, 2014. Console players, on the other hand, won't get their hands on the game this spring as Bethesda previously indicated.

Sprint's Moto X now getting Android 4.4 KitKat (13.11.3Q2.X-69-3-8)

Sprint's Moto X seems to be receiving an upgrade today, but it doesn't look like your typical bug fixer and maintenance release. We're hearing murmurings that this thing is full-on KitKat, with all the great changes folks have been enjoying on other versions of the Moto X for a few weeks now. Sprint's Moto X already received the upgrade in the form of a Soak Test, but that went out to a very limited group of users.

The UK injunction won by Nokia against HTC gets suspended

HTC caught a break in its patent feud with Nokia in the UK. Slightly over a week after the initial judgment in the case, the Taiwanese manufacturer announced that it was granted a stay on the injunction against its products by the Court of Appeal in the UK. HTC will immediately resume UK shipment of its devices. The company has vowed to Â"aggressively appeal the validity decision of NokiaÂ's EP 0 998 024 patentÂ", while also pursuing alternative solutions with its chip suppliers.

HTC One mini was the first device to fall victim of NokiaÂ's court victory. The HTC One was also found to infringe on the Finnish companyÂ's patents.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Sells 10 Million Units In 60 Days

When a Samsung Galaxy device is let loose into the world, it tends to sell exceptionally well. Well, all except for its Galaxy Gear. But regardless of that, the majority of their smartphones tend to sell really well, which apparently is the case for its latest Galaxy Note 3 as Samsung says the device is their most successful of all of their Note phablets as it sold 10 million units within 60 days of its availability. . To compare, the Galaxy Note II took nearly twice as long to sell 10 million units, although the Galaxy Note 3's sales still don't beat out Samsung's Galaxy S4.
