Here are some more information for Ram Chrome:

Long criticized for its less than stellar camera features, Canada's Research in Motion or RIM finally obliges its markets with its first serious business phone. This time being hip by having last year's upscale camera features in the new Blackberry Torch 9800.

It's the first Blackberry to have a 5-megapixel camera. Sporting its very first slider form factor that combines touchscreen and the signature blackberry-esque portrait QWERTY keyboard, the Torch can be said to be RIM's first innovative handset since its first Storm handset almost 2 years back.

Blackberry's Finest Multimedia Smartphone

Who said a serious business phone like a Blackberry can't be as lighthearted as any on the market? The Blackberry Torch 9800 makes it as the new RIM flagship handset that's also a great camera and music phone.

Starting with a 3.2-inch TFT resistive touchscreen display with half-VGA (480 x 360) resolution for a satisfying movie watching experience on the road, it gets a 5-megapexial camera with LED flash, geo tagging, image stabilization, continuous autofocus and VGA video recording.

There's no accelerometer but it has the proximity sensor for auto-turn off when held against the face in a call. The optical touch-sensitive trackpad is also there.

While still missing out on an FM radio, it has capable media players for the audio files in the MP3, WMA, eAAC+, FLAC and OGG formats as well as video in the MP4, WMV and H.263/H.264 codecs.

Stereo headphones of your choice are possible with its industry standard 3.5mm audio jack while its A2DP profile support allows you the option for wireless stereo headphones. You also get 30 hours of continuous music playback from its battery.

2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Test Drive - See What this Full-Size Pickup is Made of

All work and no play make for a dull boy, but not a dull Dodge—at least not the all-new Ram 1500 pickup truck. But since work isn't everything, we decided to put this new big and brash full-size pickup to another true test—a weekend of driving, hauling and play.

We put the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie model, the top trim level, to the test by packing up and heading for a weekend of camping and vintage motocross racing in California. With its crew-cab body configuration, Hemi engine and soft leather interior, the Ram was ready.

Room for Gear

You'd think that a weekend of motocross would require almost nothing in the way of gear. Not true. Between a helmet, giant boots and body armor, a race bike and pit bike, tent, chairs and camping gear, tools and supplies, a gas can and cooler and loading ramp, plus a passenger and cold-weather clothes, virtually any pickup will fill up fast. Thankfully the Ram provided an array of convenient storage solutions inside the cab. Twin glove boxes, generous door pockets, a broad center console and covered storage bins under the flip-up rear seat augmented the cab's large interior dimensions. We filled up the rear seating area and then some, but left the front of the expansive cab open for the 160-mile drive from the So Cal coast to Tulare, in the state's central valley.

What remained impossible to store in the cab, namely the folding chairs, gas can, the loading ramp, etc., were secured in the pickup bed. Secured as in with straps—because as generous as the crew cab is in storage volume, the 5.6-ft. pickup bed remains too short for motorcycles. So with the tailgate down, which incidentally confuses the ParkSense backup warning system, we hit the road early on a Saturday and pointed onto the Interstate 5 freeway.

Power and Performance

The Dodge powertrain guys got the Hemi powertrain right. Rated at 390 hp at 5600 rpm and 407 lb-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm, the V8 sings down the open road at just 1800 rpm at 70 mph. Smooth and responsive, it made short work of the infamous Grapevine, a long uphill grade known for its blistering summer heat and slippery winter snows. The sound levels are just as we like them: a whisper-quiet cab at all but the highest cruising speeds, plus a muted rumble out back.

And speaking of the language of power, the Ram has giant 20-inch chrome wheels and massive 275/60R20 tires. Hip-high to an elephant, these rubber-covered steamrollers provide a giant footprint while easing the Dodge's ride over road imperfections. En route, we saw 13.4 mpg on the onboard rolling fuel-economy readout, and later separately calculated 13.7 mpg for our trip. That's tolerable at $1.60 a gallon but downright agonizing at $4.50. Time will tell where gas prices actually stabilize.

Likes and Dislikes

Some overall likes: The effortless power and highway capability, and the comfortable and roomy cab that heralds a new breed of quality materials for Dodge. While the previous-generation Ram used cheesy plastic components even in the high-end models, the 2009 Ram is significantly better in every detail, an A+ improvement that makes the vehicle genuinely inspirational. So do many user-friendly features such as both 7-pin and flat-4 receptacles for trailer wiring, the rear under-seat storage, a DVD player with 9-inch screen, an outstanding Alpine audio system including XM Radio and MP3 capability, and a super-handy 115-volt AC outlet.

Not too many dislikes except for the truck's aforementioned thirst, an egregious $45,300 MSRP, its lofty bed height and the lack of a standard bed liner, which renders the paint scratched and unsightly after only minimal use. We also don't need the macho front-end styling and a dozen ram's head logos to confirm our manliness, but to each his own.

By the way, it rained Saturday night and, while the big Dodge sat majestically nearby, taunting us with its cushy leather Laramie interior, we suffered in a cold, flapping tent outside. And so after a troublesome race day on the track, the best part of the weekend truly was climbing back into the Ram for the trip home, which proves that sometimes the journey really is the destination.

I'm looking for a Tunnel Ram Intake for a Chevy Vortec Engine. Does anyone know who makes one?

I have a '85 Mazda RX-7 with a Chevy Vortec 355cid,440HP,478 Ft.LBS of torque, '86 Trans-Am 5spd manual,4.07 Posi. and Chrome Side Pipes, Harwood 8 1/2" Aero scoop. It now has a Performer RPM Intake and a Holley 750 Double Pumper #4779. I want to run (2) 4's on a Tunnel Ram. I don't know who makes one for a carborated Vortec engine. All I can find is for EFI.

Check summit, jegs, edlebrock. I'm pretty sure edlebrock makes one. I have one on my 72 firebird but it's not a vortec. You might also call chevrolet tech support to see if you can use the efi on the vortec... i don't think it would hurt anything but check with them to be sure. The number is1-800-222-1020. Good luck to ya.

WWDC Claim Exposed: Apple Safari 5 Not Fastest
Apple claimed at WWDC that its new Safari 5 browser is "fastest." Faster than Chrome; faster than Firefox; and definitely faster than IE. Naturally, this was a red rag to the proverbial male Bos primigenius, so smarty-pants everywhere had to go see for themselves. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers trust, but verify.
