Another government venue, another condemnation of LightSquared's planned 4G LTE network. U.S. Department of Transportation Deputy Secretary John Porcari told a congressional hearing on Wednesday that if LightSquared were to be deployed, the Federal Aviation Administration would have to constantly monitor some 40,000 broadcasting sites to make sure they did not affect air safety.

Move over, Marty McFly. Electric vehicle maker Tesla Motors on Thursday unveiled its battery-powered Model X SUV, which accelerates from zero to 60 mph in less than five seconds -- without needing a nuclear reaction or a bolt of lightning. The Model X will be able to seat up to seven people, will have gull-wing doors, and is offered in three versions -- standard, all-wheel drive with two motors, and a performance version of the all-wheel drive vehicle with two motors. Production begins in late 2013, and "significant" deliveries begin in early 2014, the company said.

"Where you headed?" barked the driver, never raising his head from his newspaper. I recognized him -- he'd driven me back and forth from the dealership on numerous occasions, and we'd had many interesting conversations about airplanes and about our mutual hometown of Alameda, Calif. When I let him know where I was going, he immediately recognized me and his demeanor changed entirely.

When Apple will pull the wraps off the iPad 3 has been a subject of speculation for months, but the latest prediction -- that it will be introduced during the first week in March -- appears to be gaining street cred fast. An Apple event will take place the first week in March -- which only has two business days in it -- and probably be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, according to a Thursday report. Units will likely be available two weeks after the announcement, the report added.
