2013 Best Cars for Families winners announced
Putting one’s family into a car completely changes the priority of things, with safety being the top concern and space/features coming in as a close second (and third). U.S. News and World Report has released its 2013 Best Cars for Families winners, which details which cars it feels would be the best options for families in 19 categories based on a variety of stipulations.
The winners are determined by looking at different criteria and forming from them a composite score for each category. Some attributes looked at include size, quality, safety, reliability, the opinion of critics, and how family-friendly the vehicle is. The car that achieves the highest score in its particular category (such as SUV) is the winner.
A wide variety of vehicle categories were included, including full-size cars, minivans, compact cars, and hatchbacks, with the winners of those categories (in order) being: the Buick LaCrosse, Honda Odyssey, Chevrolet Cruze, and Toyota Prius. Other winners on the list include the Ford Fusion Hybrid (Hybrid cars), the Audi Q5 (Luxury Compact), and the Ford Fusion (Midsize Car).
U.S. News Best Cars’ Managing Editor Jamie Page Deaton said: “We created the Best Cars for Families awards to make it easier for parents to find cars, SUVs and vans that will help make their lives easier. With such a broad range of award winners, any family can find the best car for their lifestyle.” What do you think of the selections? Let us know in the comments!

Fusion-io ioFX workstation acceleration platform announced with 1.6 TB of storage
Fusion-io makes some of the most unique and interesting storage devices on the market today. The company makes storage devices that use solid-state storage rather than spinning magnetic platters. However, the storage devices offered by the manufacturer plug into PCI Express slots rather than traditional SATA ports.
The company aims its high-end ioFX workstation acceleration platform at professionals performing video editing, computer assisted design, 4K and stereoscopic television production. When this device originally launched it was available in a highest capacity of 420 GB. Fusion-io has now announced that it has a version available with 1.6 TB of storage capacity.
By using the PCI Express slot rather than a SATA port, the ioFX device is able to remove traditional data storage bottlenecks allowing for higher performance. The design allows for faster composite, edit, playback, and finish digital content completion thanks to higher speed and efficiency.
The manufacturer says the 1.6 TB Fusion ioFX storage device will be available this summer. The company isn’t saying exactly how much the 1.6 TB version of the device will sell for. Considering that the 420 GB version of the same product is available for $ 1995, you can expect the 1.6 TB version to cost significantly more.
