20 Apr 2007First mentioned last year, Pleo is a new robot toy aimed at melting your heart and taking your cash.

13 Apr 2007Even though it’s been less than a month since I got my 2007 Infiniti G35x, I had to make 3 trips to the dealership to fix 1 single problem: tire pressure warning.

12 Apr 2007According to Nexon, the North American distributor of this online game, Audition is an online dance battle game. It’s a clever mix of Parappa The Rapper and Dance Dance Revolution.

9 Apr 2007Even though I’ve already purchased 2007 Infiniti G35x, many people still continue to ask me why I didn’t go for the BMW 3-series… so I’m hoping to end all debates (unlikely) with G35x vs 328xi feature. Specifications comparison:
