Starting July 1st, solo drivers of hybrid cars in California will see their special pass to the car pool lane disappear.

85,000 were issued to hybrids. Prius and Honda Civic and others.

Since 2004, hybrid owners with a special permit were allowed entry into California’s High-Occupancy-Vehicle (HOV) lanes even when driving alone.

The special yellow key-shaped decals that denoted access quickly became a must-have for traffic-weary hybrid owners, and added up to $1,500 to the resale value of the hybrid that sported one against its more mundane siblings.

Why is it called a dashboard?

What we know as dashboards, not the one on your computer, in cars- are evolved from the early dashes in horse carriages and buggys. The dash board was the boards or material dropcloth that kept the horses back feet from splashing mud and muck onto the driver and carriage... the carriages became motorized and the dashboards were the best place for the first gauges, so the dashboards became the instrument panels

Tron 3, será una realidad? Al parecer sí

Aunque recibió malas críticas por críticos, la película fue elogiada por la audiencia, la secuela en 3D generó apróximadamente 400milliones de dolares y no es una sorpresa que en el DVD de la misma haya un teaser de lo que podria ser Tron 3.

Siempre pensando en términos de marca y franquicia, Disney ya tenia gente trabajando en una historia de TRON 3 meses antes que TRON The Legacy estuviera en cines. En abril, el director Joe Kosinski habló sobre algunas de las ideas de la historia que tenía para TRON: secuela de Legacy y no mucho después, David DiGilio fue contratado para escribir el guión de TRON 3. En cuanto a la ilusoria "luz verde" el elenco volverá,también la estrella Bruce Boxleitner.

Durante la D23 evento de Disney hace 3 semans un fan le preguntó a Bruce sobre su interés en regresar a TRON 3, Bruce que con seguridad respondió:

"Oh, es ya un hecho. Ya está en construcción, amigo mío. "

TRON 3 muy probablemente saldrá en el 2013, quedense atentos por que si sale más info, se las tendremos aquí!
