Cop lets speeding G55 AMG driver go on Thanksgiving in exchange for revving engine

The holiday spirit is infectious, it seems, even for police officers. And, after watching this video, we're quite sure that the driver and passenger of the Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG are thankful that the Thanksgiving spirit spread long and far enough to cover a speeding ticket in exchange for a blip of the throttle. After pulling the two men over, the unnamed police officer, who appears to be writing the ticket as he's making conversation, asks the driver what kind of car he's driving. After finding out what it is, what it's powered by and how expensive it is, he casually tells the in-car duo to slow down and drive safely...

Samsung spending big on ads, but returns aren't quite as expected

Say what you will about their smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches, but one thing is for sure: Samsung doesn't skimp when it comes to marketing. Already on record as one of the biggest spenders on advertising, a recent report from Reuters delves deeper into Samsung's strategy. Has Paying big paid off. The short answer is yes, but with a caveat. The $4.3 billion spent on ads and marketing in 2012 is expected to balloon to $14 billion by the end of this year. If anything, it has helped to raise brand awareness around devices like the Samsung Galaxy S4, but huge advertising push hasn't exactly established the brand Samsung is going for.

Alcatel Idol X+ To Be Accompanied By Smart Devices?

The Alcatel Idol X+ from TCL is said to be well on its way, especially since we have spotted an alleged leaked image of it just a few days ago.

Apparently, the Chinese website MTKSJ does seem to have put up a teaser image of the soon-to-arrive Alcatel Idol X+ announcement, with the image above showing "1 + 1 > 2?".

2003-2004 Isuzu SUVs recalled for suspension corossion woes

Here's a brand we haven't written about in some time. Isuzu is recalling 8,816 2003 Rodeo Sports and 2003 to 2004 Rodeo and Axiom models that are registered in just about any state that uses salt on winter roads. That means Isuzu owners in states as far east as Maine, as far south as Kentucky and as far west as Minnesota will need to report in with their vehicles for repairs. This recall follows a previous corrosion-related issue for 2002 Axioms and Rodeos.
The problem, which is no doubt exacerbated by road salt, has to do with corrosion around the forward mounting point for the lower link of the rear suspension.

HTC One max now available from Verizon

Two days after we spotted the $299.99 price tag of the HTC One max in Verizon's new Mall of America Destination Store, the phone is now on sale. To our disappointment, Verizon and HTC have not put much emphasis on the handset's release. Due to its size, the HTC One max will have limited consumer appeal, but you'd think there would be a bit more fanfare around the phone due to the overwhelming success of the Samsung Galaxy Note line. As stated before, Verizon is selling the HTC One max for $299.99 with a two year contract with a full retail price of $599.99.
