As mirrorless cameras rise in quality and popularity, Canon is continuing to more or less ignore the category, and is instead doubling down on its high-end G series point-and-shoots. The new shooter in town is the G3 X, which boasts more pixels, more modes and more features. It also costs more dollars. The Canon G3 X costs $999.99, which is $200 more than the company's current flagship: the G1 X Mark II at $799.99.
The A290, the future compact B-segment electric sports car in Alpine’s new era, shines through the spectacular, ultra-sporty A290_β (A290 beta) show car. The first of the three models in the future “Dream Garage” will be a new-generation, full-electric sports car designed to trigger every driver’s competitive spirit and recast the notion of sports cars.The A290_β, in other words, is opening a new chapter in Alpine’s enthralling history. The brand is tapping into its motor-sports heritage and essence, and venturing into new segments starting with an urban sports car. The show car’s design, materials and technology encapsulate a new angle on electric cars that are just as suited for motor-sports tracks as they are for everyday drives – and as exciting for the driver as they are for passengers. And, as low-carbon mobility is becoming a sine qua non in the automotive sector, the Alpine A290_β is more than a show car: it embodies the brand’s strong stand and unwavering commitment to sustainable motor sports.The decision to call the car A290_β is based on the Alpine brand’s global naming strategy. The names start with the letter A, followed by three numbers. The number 2 stands for the B-segment and the 90 stands for the brand’s future Lifestyle range. The Greek letter beta indicates an intermediate phase working up to the production vehicle’s official launch in 2024.
On 'Watch What Happens Live,' host Andy Cohen got Hoda Kotb to play 'Plead the Fifth' with her friend and former 'Today' co-host Kathie Lee Gifford. According to CNN, guests are asked three questions and can only 'Plead the Fifth' for one. Kotb pleaded the Fifth on answering what was the most annoyed she has ever been with Gifford before going on air. But she answered willingly when asked the identity of the worst guest she'd ever had on 'Today.' It's Frank Sinatra Jr. It was the worst guest we've ever had, bar none. He had a book he was promoting, and he didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't say anything. Hoda Kotb
