Bicyclists walk away after terrifying Mulholland motorcycle crash

Now for a lesson in target fixation. As we're sure most of you know, your vehicle tends to go where your eyes go, and that's doubly true for motorcycles. Lock eyes with something you don't want to hit and invariably, that's precisely what you'll do. One rider in California recently found that out the hard way when he was confronted with a pair of bicyclists pedaling up Mulholland Highway. The rider exited a corner with plenty of angle left in his bike at a completely reasonable and legal speed, but panic took over when he spotted the cyclists.

France Allegedly Opposed To YouTube Buying Dailymotion Controlling Share

Last month it was reported that Yahoo was in talks to buy a controlling share in Dailymotion, making it the first expensive acquisition under current CEO Marissa Mayer. This popular video website is said to be worth around $300 million and Yahoo was rumored to be interested in purchasing a 75% share, with an option to completely acquire it in the future. It currently has a minority share in the website. Both Yahoo and Dailymotion had refrained from commenting on this deal, though according to a new report, the deal's off because the French government is opposed to it.

Report says Windows Phone beating Android in US lately, but does it mean anything?

When reports about mobile growth surface it's easy to construe facts or twist them to make certain companies look good. That's why we felt it was important to take Kantar WorldPanel's latest results regarding mobile OS growth in the United States with a grain of salt. According to them, Windows Phone has been outgunning Android in the United States market as of late, with Microsoft's mobile OS growing 1.5% from February to March while Android dropped 1.9%. For starters, it's worthy to note that Android still holds a very commanding lead over the rest, as it accounted for 49.3% of sales in March.

Verizon Cloud gives you 500MB of free storage for files and backups

With the likes of Dropbox, Skydrive, Box.net, Google Drive and more swirling about it's hard to imagine anyone picking a carrier-sanctioned cloud storage service.

It is as it sounds — it's a cloud storage account where you can store all your files and multimedia, backup your contacts and texts, and never lose your digital goods for as long as Verizon's servers survive. The service is only available for Android and via the web for now, but will eventually come to iOS and desktop platforms, as well as other mobile platforms, over the course of the year.

This is how you set your V8 Miata on fire in your garage

We were never all that great at math, but we can tell you that Miata + V8 = awesome. That even applies to heavy cast-iron small block Chevrolet V8s with carburetors instead of fuel injection. But as one aspiring wrench recently found out, even the most sound of formulas can lead to disaster when you start throwing in unknown variables. Variables like a leaky fuel system.

The folks over at iFixit regularly post detailed teardowns of the most latest gadgets. Naturally, the Samsung Galaxy S4 was to go under their knife as well, and so it has.

GM alters Akerson's pay mix because he may retire

General Motors has tweaked CEO Dan Akerson's pay mix to compensate for the possibility that the 64-year-old executive may retire before his long-term restricted stock vests in three years. Last year, Akerson saw his pay jump by 44 percent to $11.1 million, including $1.99 million in restricted stock as salary units, which vest immediately. Previously, Akerson was awarded around $2 million in restricted stock that could be forfeited on retirement. The change has led some analysts to believe Akerson may retire earlier than he had planned.
