Google and Kia Announce Partnership to Bring Google Maps and Places to Cars this Year Google and car manufacturer Kia have announced a partnership to bring Google Maps into cars this year, starting with the 2014 Sorento. Kia will upgrade its UVO system with Maps and even Places to give drivers all the information they need in a familiar format. There's even a UVO smartphone app to allow drivers to send points of interest or destinations directly to their car, but just be sure to do that before you leave the house or office. Once you're in the car, Maps can help get you where you need and Places can show you everything nearby, like car dealerships (including the one you're at), restaurants, dentists, and more. Kia's existing music management and hands-free features are still handled by the UVO system, plus there's an improved voice recognition function. The 2014 Kia Sorento is expected to arrive in the first quarter of this year, with other models receiving the Google upgrade as the 2014 models roll out. The UVO smartphone app should arrive in the second quarter of the year and will work on both Android and iOS. Read More ...

MSI's Entry-Level FM2-A75MA-P33 Motherboard Supports Newest AMD Trinity APUs MSI is no stranger to churning out decent entry-level AMD motherboards, and its latest Trinity-capable FM2-A75MA-P33 looks to be a modestly compelling choice for budget builders. It uses AMD's A75 FCH chipset in tandem with a 5-phase VRM to accommodate the latest APUs. Expansion-wise, a single blue PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slot is kept company by x1 PCI-Express 2.0 and legacy PCI. Up to 32 GB of dual-channel DDR3-1866 MHz memory is supported by its dual DDR3 DIMM slots. The FM2-A75MA-P33 allots six SATA 6 Gb/s ports for storage with RAID 0/1/10, aural duties managed by 6-channel HD audio, and the chipset comes with USB 3.0 SuperSpeed outputted via two rear-panel and two header ports. At an estimated $70 price, it might be easier to swallow the limited display connectivity, which is handled by dual-link DVI and D-Sub. Read More ...
