Nothing brightens up a tech geek’s room like an awesome LED cube, and Hack n’ Mod has got a couple of do-it-yourself instructions for building your own glowy box thing.

TC50: TrueCar May Keep Car Dealers More Honest

Thursday 11 September 2008 @ 9:32 pm

TrueCar joins GoodGuide in helping consumers obtain more information about the products they buy – information that sellers don’t necessarily want them to have. In TrueCar’s case, that information is simple yet elusive: just how much you should pay for a new car. TrueCar aggregates data from a variety of (mostly unnamed) sources to determine how much money other people have paid for new cars around the country
