You think your commute stinks? These are the worst traffic jams ever

Forbes has run a piece outlining what are "arguably" the worst traffic jams in history - a list that naturally starts at Number Two since the traffic jam you're in is always the worst. Based on the dates, it looks like things are getting worse, quickly; the list of ten goes all the way back to 1969, with one in 1980 and another in 1990, but the remaining seven happened right here in our new millennium.

Holden vows to stay the course in Australia despite Ford exit

With arch rival Ford of Australia having announced earlier this week that it will cease all in-continent manufacturing in 2016, you might think that General Motors' Holden division might be feeling a bit more confident about its future prospects. Yet that doesn't necessarily appear to be the case. At least for the moment, Ford's headline-grabbing announcement may take some of the wind out of the sails of Holden's new VF Commodore lineup (SS model pictured above), a critical new range launching right now.

I Dropped My iPad and Dented Its Corner!

As you can see in the picture, the Gumdrop case I have is the Military Edition. This cool edition features multiple barriers of shock absorption, a built-in polycarbonate screen protector, and microfilm dust filters. I love the truly rugged and functional protection but I hate the screen protector as it reduces the touchscreen responsiveness. So to keep my iPad screen works as usual, I use the case without the remove-able polycarbonate screen protector. I have my own screen protector that's been installed since I bought the iPad.

18-year old wins award for invention that could charge a smartphone in 30 seconds or less [VIDEO]

With semiconductor manufacturers pushing, not only the speed of our mobile devices with every new iteration, but their battery life as well, many Android users today are finally comfortably enjoying more than a full day's usage from our smartphones and tablets. Still, there are a few YouTube addicts, game-oholics, or other heavy users that are still able to make short work of just about any sized battery. The problem with our current lithium ion batteries isn't just their size (which has been growing larger to match bigger devices), it's also how long they take to charge (especially in a pinch).

HTC J One launches on Japan's KDDI with microSD card support

The HTC J One, a very close relative to the HTC One, is now available in Japan. The device looks the same as the international HTC One, but it does come with one clear distinction – a microSDXC card slot which is able to support up to 64GB of expandable storage. Before you start throwing insults at HTC while demanding the same device in Europe and the US, we'd like to point out that the HTC J One is structurally different from the HTC One we have come to know and love.
