Some rich people have too much time on their hands and a sick sense of humor. Witness this, a perfectly good Bentley Continental GT
adorned with Hyundai badges – HYUNDAI badges!. It’s not as if the owner just stuck them on with double-sided tape, either – the hood badge, logo on the trunk lid and in the center cap of each wheel look
professionally applied, as if they were meant to be there all along. (We checked with Bentley, they’re not ever supposed to be there.) But hey, if you’re wealthy, you may as well do it right, you know? Actually, we’re thinking this guy lost a bet with his Ferrari buddies and was forced to transform his six-figure Conti into a Tiburon wannabe. Sigh…

Jalopnik brought us a few nice shots of the 2008 Accord coupe and sedan last week, and they do it again with some better shots of the cars’ V6 badging, lower rear bumper assembly and overall BMW-like profile.
Though not a radical new design direction for Honda, it’s a handsomely-done Camry competitor that should age well.

The Neucleus NC-X2i is a control module that allows you to not only connect your iPod to your factory head unit, but also to listen to audio from video sources, gaming devices, or any portable audio product, including MP3 players, DVD players, and PS2. Full iPod playlist functions are usable through factory XM receiver head units and steering wheel control functions are retained. The NC-X2i retains the use of the factory CD changer and XM Satellite radio while adding the functions of the X2i. The unit also generates an (ACC) + 12-volt line for secondary auxiliary inputs.
The installation part only takes 15 mins to get up and running.. I had to unplug my xm cable and use special T Adapter plug back into the factory XM and the Neucleus and 2 mins later i had Ipod working with my factory radio.

When website is posted to the front page of Digg, the amount of requests to the server will usually take down small sites running on relatively low end hardwares (small RAM, slow CPU, HDD). To prevent this from happening to your site (specifically, WP blogs), there are things you can do to maximize what low end hardwares can manage, and therefore prevent the Digg Effect.
