I have no clue how much "7 figures" costs, but lets just say I won't be buying one anytime soon. Looks as cherry as a slot machine though...
This is the original 3 Series! Designed in 1936 as their first sports car, it’s coming up for auction and should bring in 7 figures. The 1937 BMW 328 Mille Miglia is powered by a 2.0-liter inline-6 pushing 80 horsepower, capable of going over 100 mph.

Koenigsegg unleashed their latest jewel – the Koenigsegg Agera. A new supercar aimed to take the Koenigsegg experience to the next level, both on the road and the track.
Inside the carbon fiber and aluminum honeycomb chassis lies the same 4.7-liter V8 as the CCX, but output has increased to 910 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque, allowing the 2,832-pound Agera to hit 62 mph in 3.1 seconds and top out at over 242 mph.
Koenigsegg only plans to produce 16-20 Ageras each year and orders will begin next week with deliveries starting later in 2010.
Looks kinda neat:

NASA has released their first iPhone game. It's called the NASA Lunar Electric Rover Simulator and, instead of making me happierer than a kid in a candy store wearing a Batman cape, reading the description makes me sad:
Welcome to the NASA Lunar Electric Rover (LER) Simulator. You don't need a driver's license, but you still need to buckle up as the LER Simulator gives you a glimpse of what it might be like to support the activities of a functioning Lunar Outpost. Get busy. You never know if your skills here will become a major part of the NASA Astronaut application process in the future.
Sadly, and since there are not going to be any NASA mission to the moon, we know that these skills would be useless. Unless that, by "NASA Lunar Electric Rover Simulator" they really mean "Soyuz Spacecraft Push Some Russian Buttons Simulator."
In any case, go to the App Store and enjoy the free game, because the real thing is not going to happen.

I sure hope this is the case because it'd be the first app I'd buy.

Is anyone really surprised that Microsoft Senior Product manager, Mike Tedesco, said, "Yeah, it's something that we're looking at," when asked by T3 about Office for Mac running on the Apple iPad? Like any responsible corporation, Microsoft must keep an eye on developments in computing and align its resources accordingly. And when the majority of its wealth comes from the 1-2 punch of Windows and Office, you can bet Microsoft is looking at every opportunity that comes along. So while we fully expect Microsoft to take a wait-and-see approach to the numbers Apple can generate from the current dead zone between laptops and smartphones, at least we finally get to use the image above in a post.

If you’re a BlackBerry user who also happens to like Twitter, chances are you’ve been throwing jealous looks at your friends’ iPhones and their elegant Twitter clients. Yes, things got a lot better once UberTwitter entered the scene, but can there be an even better Twitter client for the BlackBerry? The upcoming official client might fit the bill.
