Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations division raises the bar once again with the forthcoming 2016 Range Rover SVAutobiography. The word modest did not come into play during the design of this vehicle, which boasts 542 hp through an optional supercharged V8 that comes specially tuned for the new SVAutobiography edition. Aside from the lavishly embellished interior, which one can expect as standard from the Range Rover brand, this upcoming top-of-the-line model also features an “Event Seating” configuration, consisting of two seats that can be affixed to the tailgate.

The SEC on Wednesday approved game-changing final rules in the implementation of Title IV of the JOBS Act, known as “Regulation A+,” which will allow small businesses and startups to raise up to $50 million from “the crowd.”

As I reported more than a year ago, this little-known provision of the JOBS Act will allow a startup company or emerging business to hold a “mini IPO” from the general public, not just accredited investors, and should be a complete game-changer for the way businesses are funded.

When Congress passed the JOBS Act in April 2012, Regulation A+ was an attempt to fix Regulation A, a rarely-used provision of federal law that allowed companies to raise up to $5 million in a public offering. Regulation A was a bust because it required the company to register its offering in each state where it was to be sold. The cost of complying with each state’s “Blue Sky Law” was exorbitant, compared to more commonly used laws such as Regulation D that allowed a company to raise the same amount of money, or more, without having to pay for expensive state-by-state compliance.

Under the SEC’s new rules for Regulation A+, the amount that could be raised increases to $50 million and the need for state compliance has been eliminated. More importantly, Regulation A+ allows those funds to be raised from the general public, not just accredited investors like with Regulation D offerings.

The question that had everyone in the crowdfunding world holding their collective breath was simple: Would the SEC keep their proposed rules intact when its leadership voted, or would they succumb to the pressure of state securities regulators who were adamantly opposed to lessening of restrictions for their own selfish financial reasons? The answer is that the SEC stuck by their guns and allowed companies to raise Regulation A+ without having to go to each state and spend a fortune registering their offerings.

Another important issue the SEC decided involved who can invest in these offerings. The JOBS Act limited Regulation A+ offerings to “qualified investors” which led some to argue that only “accredited investors” would be allowed to invest. Accredited investors are those individuals who earn more than $200,000 per year or have a net worth of greater than $1,000,000. However, the SEC broadly defined the term “qualified investors” under Regulation A+ to allow anyone to invest, albeit with some limitations as to the amount.

For those worried about protecting investors from fraud, Regulation A+ only allows investors to invest 10 percent of the greater of their annual income or net worth in these securities. The SEC has also implemented other strong investor protections such as “bad actor” background checks on the companies offering the securities, and disclosure of the company’s financial information as part of the offering.

The Regulation A+ rules can be read in full here. There are hundreds of pages, so get ready for a long read or a fast way to bore yourself to sleep. Having read the entire thing, I can tell you with confidence as a crowdfunding attorney that Regulation A+ has a chance to dramatically change the way small and emerging businesses raise capital in America.

The rules released by the SEC today now have to be published in the Federal Register before they become law, which takes about 60 days. As soon as that happens, entrepreneurs will have the ability to raise millions of dollars from “the crowd” in a simplified and comparatively affordable offering using Regulation A+.

Like Global 14 said “This could be kinda scary” ThisismotionTV

By Kate Michael in Tech, Travel
It’s being called “the windowless cabin with a view.”

British developers at the Centre for Process Innovation are gearing up to test the world’s first windowless plane — a truly captivating (or potentially unnerving) flying vehicle that could allow passengers to see what’s going on outside. It may be ready in less than a decade.

Instead of windows, full-length screens allow constant views of the outside sky, with imaging that would come from mounted cameras outside of the aircraft. These screens can actually be switched on and off (according to traveler preference).

In addition to cloud sightings, the screens will also allow users to tap the screen to identify prominent sights… or to just join the mile-high internet surfing club.

The newly named McLaren Sports Series will consist of not one, but three new models when it is officially unveiled in April.

Speaking at the Geneva Motor Show, Mclaren’s CEO Mike Flewitt described the new model as a “game changer” and said: “When people see that car I think they’re going to be absolutely astonished at what we’ve done.”

The British car company has proven that it can build vehicles that can compete with Ferrari in terms of performance, styling and exclusivity, but the premium sportscar market, currently dominated by the Porsche 911, could prove much more challenging.

As such, the new car will be offered in three varieties — as a hard top, a convertible and as a slightly less powerful cruiser for those clients that want something that they can drive every day.

It will also be the only car in the segment built from lightweight carbon fiber and to offer a mid-mounted V8 engine.

The car will go on sale in October following its official unveiling at the New York International Autoshow on April 3, and prices are expected to start at $150,000.

Kendrick Lamar will graces the cover for Rolling Stone‘s March 2015 issue and also sat down with them for an interview. Kendrick talked about his new project, which he says is “honest, fearful and unapologetic”. While he would not open up about the meaning of the title, he does say that it “will be taught in college courses someday”. He goes on to say:

“You take a black kid out of Compton and put him in the limelight, and you find answers about yourself you never knew you were searching for. There’s some stuff in there, man. It’s a roller coaster. It builds.”

The Pebble Time has now superseded the Coolest Cooler to become the most funded project in Kickstarter history, raising more than $14.5 million and counting with 24 days left until the campaign comes to a halt. New contributors to the project were likely instigated by the smart watchmaker’s announcement that a new version of the Pebble Time will come in a steel edition – called the Pebble Time Steel – which boasts a 10-day battery life, stainless steel face, scratch-proof lens and support for premium leather and stainless steel watchbands with sensors built into them.

Additionally, each Pebble Time features a new color e-paper display and microphone for responding to notifications. Even with the new technology the brand has been able to maintain water resistance so you can still swim or surf while wearing it, although they don’t recommend submerging the smartwatch.
