2014 Fiat 500L

2014 Fiat 500L

The saying goes that man cannot live by bread alone, and neither can automakers live by selling one car alone. This holds especially true for automakers with a budding dealer network to support, like the Fiat brand, which returned to US shores in 2011 after a 28-year absence. The company's single car to sell at the time was the Fiat 500, a cute retro rebirth of the original, iconic Cinquecento, which your toddler now calls Luigi thanks to Pixar.

Microsoft Researchers Create Smart Bra To Detect Moods

So we've heard of smart clothing, smart wigs, but smart underwear. Why not. According to the BBC, they have reported that Microsoft's visualization and interaction research group has managed to design a smart bra that is capable of detecting emotions. The wearer's mood will be detected through an electrocardiogram along with electro-dermal sensors which will be used to monitor stress. The bra will also be equipped with a gyroscope and accelerometer to top things off.

Senior XDA member ddggttff3 has released a Google Chromecast custom ROM which brings a number of features that are not originally available on the dongle. Google released the Chromecast HDMI dongle earlier this year.

Brands come and brands go in the automotive industry, but for enthusiasts, the prospect of Alfa Romeo disappearing from the face of the earth altogether is a thought too painful to bear.
