Google has unveiled a new GMail Autopilot feature that basically takes care of all those “you’ve won something” messages. Simply let Autopilot “read a sampling of your conversations (more than 100 is ideal), then adjust a few simple settings and it will do the rest.” Project page.

The netbook was able to provide decent performance, from normal web surfing while data was being transferred in the background, as well as opening 400 pictures in Bridge, and even editing in Photoshop CS3.

When it comes to the 2010 Toyota Prius and 2010 Honda Insight, their body styles may look similar, but drive quite differently to say the least.
