Production R8 etron sets lap record at Nrburgring, Audi gets gains EV bragging rights

Suffice it to say, Audi's been garnering loads of press these past weeks for its e-tron vehicles. Hot on the heels of its recent, R18 e-tron-led victory at the 24-hour Le Mans, the automaker has set a world-record for production EVs at Germany's Nürburgring. Using an all-electric R8 production model, driver Markus Winkelhock zipped around the 12.92-mile course with a lap time of 8:09.099. For comparison's sake, the fastest lap by a gasoline-powered production car of about seven minutes and 57 seconds is currently held by the Gumpert Apollo Sport -- which just-so-happens to use an 700 hp (515 kW) Audi V8 motor. According to Audi, the R8 used is essentially identical to what will be released to the public later this year, featuring two electric motors that pump out 280kW of power and 820Nm of torque. That said, Autoblog notes that its limiter was set to 155 mph (250 kph) -- when you can buy one it'll be set to top out at 125 mph (200 kph). Hit up the press release after the break for all the details.

Update: We incorrectly mixed up mph with kph on the max speeds. We've adjusted the numbers.

    Barracuda Networks Doubles Jobs in Ann Arbor

    Posted by Maricat Eggenberger on Wednesday, June 27, 2012 ? Leave a Comment?

    Barracuda Networks Inc. today announced that it will double its number of employees in Ann Arbor, creating 184 high tech and engineering jobs over three years. This move is part of the company?s commitment to invest $6 million in its relocation to 317 Maynard in downtown Ann Arbor.

    ?Barracuda Networks continues to thrive, and Ann Arbor is critical to that success,? said Sean Heiney, director of new product initiatives for Barracuda Networks. ?We?re doubling down our commitment to the region, bringing new and exciting jobs that are helping to shape our new economy. We?re extremely thrilled about our expansion and look forward to breathing new life into such an iconic space downtown.?

    Confirmed today, the City of Ann Arbor is offering Barracuda Networks a five-year tax abatement under PA 198 which is estimated to be valued at $85,150. The Michigan Economic Development Corporation is offering up to $1.2 million in funding from the Michigan Business Development Program.

    ?The expansion of Barracuda Networks demonstrates the importance of our strategy to help companies grow and flourish,? said Governor Rick Snyder. ?This investment highlights the value of Michigan?s highly competitive business climate and incredible workforce abilities for cutting-edge companies looking to expand.?

    Over the last few years, Barracuda Networks has been working with Ann Arbor SPARK to connect with the deep pool of talent in the region. Since that time, Barracuda Networks has grown aggressively, today at 172 employees in Michigan.

    ?Ann Arbor SPARK?s work with Barracuda Networks shows how proactive economic development can yield positive, measurable outcomes for our region,? said Paul Krutko, Ann Arbor SPARK president and CEO.??Barracuda?s new location in downtown Ann Arbor fills a very visible vacant property with exactly the type of growing, high tech business that attracts talent and investment to the region.?Collaboration between local and state entities made this move possible, and reflects the broad support for businesses like Barracuda Networks that are committed to aggressive growth.?

    Barracuda Networks participated in two MichAGAIN trips to California, working to attract talent back to the state. The company was a participant in the recently concluded first Shifting Code cohort, designed to connect employers with talent in the region who were committed to developing software engineering skills.

    Barracuda Networks expects to move into the new location later this year. To support its expansion, the company is hiring a number of positions including software engineers, user experience designers, quality assurance talent, systems administrators, and help technicians.

    4th of July Kiddie Parade

    Every year our town has a 4th of July Kiddie Parade, and all of the kids and their parents get decked out to walk around the square. This was the 71st year of the parade, and Henry's Grandpa actually walked in it himself as a child, many years ago! Neat, right? This morning was Henry's very first time participating. He wasn't too into it- he was hot and cranky (as you can tell in the photos), but overall I think he had a good time looking at all of the neat sights and listening to the band. We walked with our friends, and pulled our little decorated wagon up and around the square. There were so many great floats and we are absolutely inspired to go a little over the top next year and WIN something! After the parade all of the participants met in front of the courthouse for awards and ice cream, and then we headed on home so little Henry could finally take his nap.

    Tomorrow morning is the actual 4th of July parade, which is one of my very favorite days ever. I've said it before and I'll say it again- small town living isn't for everyone, but it sure is for me! Today was awesome.

    Google Play Coming to Google TV

    Yo dog, we heard you liked Google so we put some Google Play in your Google TV. wink

    You already have access to a variety of apps on Google Play, and soon you?ll be able to find movies, TV shows, and music from Google Play to stream on Google TV. Google Play works across devices, so you can rent and start watching a movie on your Google TV, keep watching on your tablet on the move, and finish watching on Google TV. The TV & Movies app will also show Google Play content, adding to the more than 100,000 TV episodes and movies available in the app. The full power of Google Play will be available later this summer on all Google TV devices.

    Sky-divers drop from blimp to demo Google Glass eyewear

    23 hrs.

    Google co-founder?Sergey Brin turned up at the I/O keynote in San Francisco Wednesday, and revealed that a trio of basejumpers were hanging out in a blimp overhead. Brin's instructions: Jump out of the airship, land on the roof of the Moscone Center, and deliver a box containing a pair of the augmented-reality?glasses.?

    Because this didn't seem complicated enough, Brin asked for mountaineers to rappel down the walls of the center, then hand off the package to cyclists, who rode into the auditorium, as you can see in the video released late Wednesday:

    It was a pretty crazy stunt, though one that didn't reveal much about Google Glass except that it stays on during extreme sports, will come in a variety of styles, and weighs less than a standard pair of sunglasses.

    It was also revealed that Google will allow attendees of this week's conference to pre-order a version of Google Glass for $1,500. This model will be a rough edition, not the final product, and is intended for serious developers only.
