Last year marked the first-ever SEMA Battle of the Builders—a national competition that brought together some of the best builders and car customizers in the country. With more than 125 participants, an elite 10 were chosen by a panel of top automotive journalists.

The finalists voted for the winner among themselves at SEMA Ignited—an event open to the public that featured hundreds of customized vehicles with the newest and most innovative products from the SEMA Show. The top 10 were also featured in a one-hour television special that premiered on the Velocity Network.

SEMA Battle of the Builders will return for the 2015 SEMA Show. Vehicle builders with a display, feature or booth vehicle at this year’s Show are encouraged to participate. The competition will once again take place at SEMA Ignited, Friday November 6, from 3:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m., directly across the street from the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Windows 10—An Open Apology to Millions of PC Users
Thu, 06/11/2015 - 06:06

Due for release later this summer, Windows 10 is Microsoft’s make-good for mouse-and-keyboard users across the country.

Businesses that reacted to Windows 8 with howls of incredulity can take heart: Microsoft is bending over backward with its next Windows release to win back the mouse-and-keyboard crowd. With Windows 10 (there will be no Windows 9), due for release in the summer of 2015, Microsoft will make it simple once again to navigate the operating system with a keyboard and a mouse.

Moreover, the Redmond Goliath will be bringing back other features, such as the Start Menu that made Windows a hit in previous incarnations. “It’s a practical approach, which is ‘customer first,’” said Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft.
