The concept is called the Icon, and was designed with rear-hinged doors, no B-pillars, large wheels, a crossover body-style, and an overall feel strongly reminiscent of the Nissan Juke. MG says it went for a crossover over a roadster to adapt to more common lifestyles of today. Part of the car’s inspiration comes from the original MGB shooting-brake, which was retired in 1980s. And in essence, the MG Icon is said to be the car that would have succeeded the original MGB, had it continued production today.

As a Chinese-owned company, Chinese designers were the majorly responsible for the

If Apple’s motion succeeds, there will then be a US ban in place against three major Android device makers. Last December, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) banned specific HTC products based on an Apple patent and this past Friday, the ITC banned some Motorola devices based on a Microsoft patent. Seems like litigation is the new weapon of choice in this war of supremacy.

As Apple filed the new motion on Friday, settlement talks won’t likely take place until Monday or Tuesday, with Apple proposing to give Samsung until the end of May to respond. The same court will also hold a hearing on a second, separate motion

Less than a week after Van Halen added five late-summer shows to its current North American tour, something went missing from band’s website – namely, all the scheduled tour dates after June 2.

With the reunited group’s long history of infighting, it was easy to assume that cracks have formed in the mended fences. In fact, Rolling Stone quoted a source close to the tour as saying the band members “hate each other” and are “arguing like mad.” But an insider tells The Hollywood Reporter it was just time for the fiftysomething band members to take their foot off the gas for a while.

“This had nothing to do with fights, illness or bad business,” the source says. “They’re simply burned out. After 50 shows, they need

Murphy bases his predictions not on tea leaves or crystal balls, but rather the rate at which automakers launch new products. Ford will replace 26 percent of its product line over the next four years, a number that represents 46 percent of its volume, while General Motors will replace 25 percent and Toyota 24 percent. On account of these new product launches, Murphy says Ford can expect to add 0.8 percentage points of market share, General Motors will recover 0.5 points and Toyota will add another 0.3 points.

Other automakers that won’t be so aggressive in turning over their lineups with new models include Chrysler, Honda, Nissan and the European brands, which Murphy surmises will all remain flat in terms of market share.

Hyundai and Kia, meanwhile, will be introducing fewer new models than the rest and therefore, Murphy predicts, will see a 0.5 decline in U.S. market share.

Of course, these are all just predictions and can be blown to bits with the next unforeseen economic crisis or natural disaster, just like the last

According to sources, “Raven has lost almost 30 pounds, has done a whole image makeover, and now she is the star of ‘Sister Act’ on Broadway. She’s at a point now where she doesn’t care what her family thinks, and she’s in love with AzMarie. She’s a lesbian and wants to live that way.”

The tabloid further reports that the 26-year-old’s family does not approve of her lifestyle, however, “she told her parents she loves them, but her home — especially her bedroom — is nobody’s business, and she was not going to back down, so they needed to accept it, period.”

While Raven-Symoné neither confirmed nor denied the speculation on Friday, when she took to Twitter to open up about the rumor, she did make it clear that whatever she does in her personal life is her business.

“I’m living my PERSONAL life the way I’m happiest,” she tweeted. “I’m not one, in my 25 year career to disclose who I’m dating. and I shall not start now. My sexual orientation is mine, and the

Apple, based in Cupertino, California, has placed orders from suppliers in Asia for screens that are bigger than the 3.5- inch size now on the smartphone, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren’t public. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had worked closely on the redesigned phone before his death in October, one person said.

The design change will be Apple’s first for the iPhone since 2010, when it introduced the iPhone 4. Electronics makers, led by Samsung, are moving toward bigger screens, as consumers use handheld devices for a broader array of tasks, including watching video, playing games and browsing the Web.

Apple is girding against competition from rivals such as Samsung, which have made Google Inc. Android the most widely used smartphone software. Samsung regained the lead in smartphones in the first quarter using screens of many sizes.

It’s certainly not the norm! Most multicultural teams are dominated by one cultural group, sad to say. But some work I’ve done with colleagues suggests that it is possible — and worthwhile — to build a fusion team.
