This song was featured in the game Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which I enjoyed last year. Check out the 90 second preview in iTunes.

I’d categorise the tune as alternative hard rock. It’s got a killer energetic riff, a great chorus and Emily Armstrong, the lead vocalist, has an awesome voice. Dead Sara are a fairly unknown new artist and I’m glad to support them.

(Yes, it is a coincidence that I share the surname of the lead singer. Dead Sara are from Los Angeles. I’m not.)

I lost it at the “Hipster or Homeless?” page.

From a Which? article comparing Windows 7 and 8 battery life across various notebooks:

The worst battery life on Windows 7 came from the Dell Inspiron 17R, which managed just one hour and 45 minutes of web time.

How can Dell be satisfied shipping crap like this? In 2012?! That battery life figure is just web browsing time, let alone watching videos. I feel sorry for every single individual who owns one of these machines.

Say what you want about Apple, they would never ship something this bad.

I have to say, the timing does smell a little fishy to me; perhaps Apple would have been better to have not even “acknowledged” the release of Samsung’s Galaxy S4.

All the points on the page are truly legitimate reasons to choose an iPhone — and if this page sticks around, I’ll certainly refer friends and family to it to explain why the iPhone is my phone of choice — but perhaps the page could have been released a few days either side of Samsung’s announcement? Being released so close to a competitor’s time in the spotlight makes it feel a little desperate, as Owen Williams points out. Sometimes not even acknowledging a competitor is the best form of competition.

I guess that depends whose predictions you were reading. Mine seem pretty accurate.

Well, that’s another use for it, I guess. For me, apps are the killer feature.

As ever, Gruber hits the nail on the head with so much vigour I feel compelled to share his piece:

The desire for the “Oh, how the mighty Apple has fallen” narrative is so strong that the narrative is simply being stated as fact, evidence to the contrary be damned. It’s reported as true simply because they want it to be true. They’re declaring “The King is dead; long live the King” not because the king has actually died or abdicated the throne, but because they’re bored with the king and want to write a new coronation story.

Even though this video has already has over 4.5 million views, I feel compelled to share it. I was blown away by the graphs shown.

The world isn’t quite what it seems.

Gabe wrote a sweet review of Groove for iOS, a music player designed to be a different way to experience your library of tracks on iPhone or iPad. If music is something you enjoy, you might want to check the review out.

Groove is certainly miles away from iOS’s default music app, and as I’m a bit of a music nut, I bought it and am enjoying it.

It hasn’t replaced the Music app in iOS for me (I still use it for pre-made playlists), but it’s a nice addition when I want to be surprised. I consider Groove the iOS equivalent of a “Genius” style feature, wrapped up as an app. And, as that, it rocks.

Now this is a website I can truly get behind. Animated GIFs are awesome, but I’ve never known where to search a great selection. That’s now changed.

Bookmarked (in my bookmarks bar, no less) for future use.

I’ve been a big fan of James May for years, but until today I had no idea about this fantastic story. If anything, it heightens my respect for him.

This car is one of the most impressively aggressive pieces of engineering I’ve seen and I’m so blown away by it that I feel compelled to share.

The Aventador is my favourite supercar — and this Veneno concept takes elements from it and cranks them up to eleven.
