Just because General Motors (GM) might be hurting from the recession, does not mean that the company still can’t invest in R&D and pursue future technologies. The company’s latest endeavor, however, is a bit of a departure from its popular SUVs and other gas-guzzling vehicles. GM is partnering with none other than Segway to develop an electric-powered, two-wheeled, two seat, urban transportation device.

The reason, he said on his show, is because of lack of Lotus Domino (Notes) support on the Pre. He wanted to be up-and-running on

If you had difficulties accessing your Comcast email over the weekend, you weren’t alone. The cable provider’s servers suffered some technical problems on Saturday that took the SmartZone email system down for several hours.
