DETROIT, Michigan (PNN) - September 21, 2011 - If you're the owner of a fairly new General Motors product, you may want to take a close look at the most recent OnStar terms and conditions; the company has altered the parameters under which it can legally collect GPS data on your vehicle.

MELBOURNE, Australia - September 17, 2011 - Forget “I spy” and hand-held video games; a team of developers is working on technology that will entertain little ones in the back seat with holograms controlled by motion sensors.

In the line at the store, the cashier told an older woman that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.
