Porsche Sound Night Video

Porsche recently had a special evening event at the Porsche Museum called Sound Night. It afforded guests the opportunity to hear some of the most iconic Porsche cars from the past.

Porsche 911 Tenth Anniversary Edition: Golden Beauty or Gawdy Display?

Typically I love Porsche special edition cars. They seem to have those little touches that make them stand out from the norm and increase desirability enough to cause you to mull over the “what ifs” in your mind. This time around, Porsche missed the mark for me on the Porsche 911 Tenth Anniversary Edition. Perhaps […]

This is a great video of the new Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS. I love it when they work footage of old cars into videos like this.

How To Make Your Laptop 100x Faster

This cracked me up. I ran across this picture on an SQL Server blog. The editor, Steve Jones, decided he was tired of his slow laptop and wanted to speed things up. His solution is quite ingenious.
