Its 252-mph top speed makes it the fastest production car in the world. With 1,001 horsepower pumping from its W16 engine, it's also the world's most powerful production car. And with a price tag of about $1.5 million, it's the world's most expensive new car. For the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, everything is a superlative
The Veyron is named in honor of a French racecar driver who won the 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Bugatti -- quite the honor. Although Monsieur Veyron's namesake arrived in the world for the 2006 model year, as many car enthusiasts know, its gestation was anything but smooth.
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is an exotic sports car. Without seeing one in person, it's a little hard to judge the car's size, but in terms of dimensions the Veyron is actually a little bit shorter in length than a Porsche 911. To help reduce weight, carbon fiber and aluminum have been extensively utilized for the car's bodywork and structure, though the Veyron still checks in at close to 4,500 pounds.
Power is sent to all four wheels through an F1-style, seven-speed automated manual gearbox whose design is similar to that of VW's well-regarded DSG transmission. Thanks to all-wheel drive and massive wheels and tires, the Veyron is ferociously quick, with published reports indicating a 0-60-mph time of approximately 2.5 seconds and a quarter-mile time in the low 10-second range.
The car coddles its occupants with leather upholstery and special aluminum trim, while interior measurements are in fact quite roomy. Outward forward visibility, however, is noticeably poor due to the car's very thick A-pillars.

Pop singer Katy Perry posted a picture of Hindu Goddess Kali on her Instagram page and captioned it, “current mood”. Katy has always known to have admired Hindu traditions, customs and even married her ex-husband Russell Brand in Rajasthan. The 2010 wedding was based on typical Hindu rituals, complete with pheras and a pandit, who officiated the couple’s union as well. She also has a Sanskrit tattoo, “Anuugacchati Pravaha”, which means “Go with the flow”. So contextually speaking, the picture she posted reflects her current mood.
The hatred Katy received on the Instagram post was however balanced with fans who stood up for her choice of picture. For every negative comment on the post – there was a positive comment where fans applauded her interest in a different religion. Some even commended her knowledge about the religion in question.
While some warned Katy saying that she may lose followers on social media for the post. People trolled her for posting an Indian Goddess' picture, shaming her for doing so. Interestingly, Katy got married to stand-up comedian Russell Brand in Rajasthan in 2010. However, the couple split soon after that.
At an event in Los Angeles this afternoon, YouTube announced its own streaming TV service. The offering will mix live-streams of broadcast and cable television programming with the wealth of online video found on YouTube. It’s the latest in a surge of over-the-top (OTT) services trying to woo consumers who never bought into traditional cable television.
At launch, you'll use either the new YouTube TV app (for iOS or Android) or the web-based interface to access the new service. Ironically, the only way to get YouTube TV onto an actual TV set is with Chromecast or Cast built-in -- there aren't apps for the Apple TV or other set-top boxes or consoles yet. Google says they'll come, but for now, the website and app will be the primary way to interact with YouTube TV.
No specific date was given for launch, only that it would roll out in the next few months. And the service will arrive first in major markets, meaning smaller cities may have to wait. As for international service, don’t hold your breath. There are some other odd quirks. NFL content will be available on TV and PC, but not on mobile, where Verizon has the exclusive streaming rights.
There’s no post-production (unless you plan on trimming or making a new video) making it a great tool when you don’t have a lot time.
You can easily share unfiltered moments, emotional reactions, and even behind-the-scenes events.
Your audience can participate and help guide the stream from live chat.
All of your videos, live and videos-on-demand (VOD), have one unified home on YouTube. Live streamed videos are automatically added to your channel just like an upload.
Facebook started testing an experimental offline mode in the beta version of the Instagram Android app, the Menlo Park-based company announced at its annual F8 developer conference on Wednesday.
Instagram has added offline support for its Android app meaning users can create posts even when there is no internet connection.
Users can view, comment on and save posts already downloaded to their phones and when they go back online these actions will be updated automatically.
Insiders believe this functionality will particularly help Instagram spread in developing countries where internet connection is unreliable.
The way this works is when you're offline, you can still view the preloaded content and several of the app's sections (feed, explore, personal profile, previously visited profiles, etc) and you can interact with them. Liking, commenting, saving, following, and unfollowing, all of these can be done while offline then scheduled to apply when you're back online.
Facebook says it’s making Instagram more usable offline in order to improve the experience for users in countries where there’s either unreliable service or limited access to consistent internet connections. That could be a big driver as the app continues its rapid growth in places outside the United States.
