My full-size pickup love does indeed extend to heavy-duty models, though I prefer the big ’uns with a diesel. FCA is in a bit of a pickle with those at the moment, what with the EPA charging the company with cheating software a la VW. That’s on the Ram 1500’s 3.0-liter diesel, though. The EPA makes no mention of the 2500’s 6.7-liter Cummins diesel. For now. Conspiracy theorist that I am, though, I bet the D.C. busybodies are looking hard at all automakers’ diesels, including FCA’s Cummins. For now, it’s off the hook. Anyway, here we have this monstrous gas V8. It whacks the sticker price considerably ($9,200!) -- this costs quite a bit less than I thought it would. It drives, well, like a heavy-duty pickup, though I must say its road manners are quite good, thanks largely -- I’m guessing -- to the new five-link coil rear suspension rather than leaf springs. The 2500 ain’t exactly carlike, but the ride is smoother than you'd think, especially considering I wasn’t weighing the bed down with pounds of stuff. The Hemi power felt like enough to me, but it feels like it works harder to keep the truck motivated than a diesel would. Believe it or not, the Hemi seems like it was a huffing and puffing a bit. The interior is huge, comfy and well-built, as it was in the 1500 I drove last week. Overall I’m impressed with the 2500’s smooth, quiet on-road behavior. I’m sure it’d be just fine off-road as well.

At this point, not too much is known about Prey. Originally, the video game was first set to be a sequel to Prey, which had released back in 2006. However, after the game rights were passed around and ultimately canceled, the video game would be picked up as a re-imagining of the first Prey installment by development team Arkane Studios. From what has been revealed so far, Prey will take place during an alternate United States timeline. President John F. Kennedy had survived his assassination attempt and as a result, Kennedy continued a push into funding the space program. The start of the game campaign will be taking place on Talos I, a space station that has been built during Kennedy’s term and continues to flourish in the year 2032.

Battalion 1944 is an upcoming video game based on World War II, from a development team composed of former AAA developers, Bulkhead Interactive. Developers are hoping that Battalion 1944 will recapture the enjoyment spent from some of the classic multiplayer shooters such as Call of Duty 2 and Medal of Honor. After a successfully Kickstarter campaign, Bulkhead Interactive has been working on a release that will allow players to fight in real world locations such as the streets of Carentan or the forests of Bastogne. Furthermore, there is no emphasis on grinding, but rather a focus on the players and their skills.

Can you do it? Yes. Should you do it? Let's find out. Could your smartphone be the only computer you need? That's the dream pitched by a new Kickstarter campaign, but it's not a new dream. Motorola tried it back 2011 with its Webtop software and Lapdock hardware, but it died within 18 months. Microsoft struck on a similar idea with its Continuum feature for Windows 10 Mobile smartphones, but the Microsoft's declining mobile fortunes don't bode well for its future. You can forget Apple trying something this radical, too, so it’s left to Android to pick up the slack. Enter Andronium OS and its Superbook. WHAT IS ANDROMIUM OS? Andromium OS promises to create a desktop environment for Android, allowing you to use all your smartphone apps on a big screen — similar to how Chrome OS is now beginning to support Android apps on its desktop platform. Andromium OS was initially launched 18 months ago and rather than being an entirely new operating system necessitating you to root your Android smartphone, it is in fact just an app which you can download from the Google Play Store and install on any Android smartphone. The goal is to get the software to work with as many Android smartphones as possible (though there are limitations) offering features like windowed apps, a Windows-like start menu and drag-and-drop icons on the desktop. Related: Which Chromebooks now support Android apps? WHAT IS THE SUPERBOOK? When it originally launched in December 2014, the team behind Andromium OS started a Kickstarter campaign to fund the production of a dock which you could connect your smartphone to and then hook up a monitor, mouse and keyboard for a proper desktop experience. The campaign never met its funding goals and the official dock was never manufactured. Now the team behind Andromium is back with another solution – the Superbook. Launched earlier this month, the campaign has already clocked up almost $1 million in funding from its initial goal of just $50,000. Clearly there is a market for what the Superbook is promising. Very much like Motorola’s Lapdock from five years ago, the Superbook is the shell of a laptop into which you plug your smartphone. Rather than the rear-mounted dock we saw with the Lapdock, the Superbook connects with your smartphone through a USB cable. It features a 768p screen, keyboard, touchpad and promises a 10-hour battery life (up from the 8 hours the developers were initially promising, thanks to the extra funding the campaign has received). Because this is Andromium, the Superbook works with smartphones from any manufacturer and the sales pitch says that if you upgrade your smartphone, then you are also effectively upgrading the performance of your laptop too, as it is powered by the chip inside your phone. The premise certainly makes sense in an era when smartphone chips are becoming so powerful and phones now ship with up to 6GB of RAM. The Superbook is pegged to ship in early 2017 and costs just $99, but if you have a smartphone lying around and want to turn it into a desktop computer, then you don’t have to wait any longer. TURNING AN ANDROID SMARTPHONE INTO A PC Before you get started, you will need the following: A relatively new smartphone/tablet A TV or monitor A Chromecast/Miracast device Keyboard (Bluetooth/USB) Mouse (Bluetooth/USB) Additionally, if you are using a USB mouse or keyboard, you will need a smartphone that supports USB On-The-Go (OTG), a standard which allows mobile devices to talk to each other but also crucially lets you easily connect peripherals to your smartphone or tablet – which is vital if you don’t happen to have a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard handy. If you are going down the wired peripheral route, you will also need a USB OTG adapter. You can buy microUSB versions for between £1 and £7 on Amazon, but if you are using a newer smartphone which has a USB C port, these cables will set you back a little bit more. WHICH SMARTPHONES WORK WITH ANDROMIUM? Before we get on to setting up our Andromium desktop system, a word on smartphones. The software is designed to work on as many smartphones as possible, but the developers do give some recommended specifications for the smartphones that should be used. They suggest you should have a processor equal to, or better than, the Snapdragon 800 from Qualcomm, which was released in 2013 in smartphones like the Google Nexus 5 and Sony Xperia Z1. The company also says the phone you are using should have 2GB RAM as a minimum. I tested multiple different smartphones released in the last 24 months and had no problem getting Andromium to work with them. It should also be noted that Andromium OS is not limited to running on chips from Qualcomm (I tested it with Huawei’s Kirin chipsets too). Finally, if you are planning to use a wired keyboard or mouse, you should check if your smartphone supports USB OTG. While almost all smartphones released in the last couple of years do, there are exceptions. During my testing I found the Honor 5X, which was released in November last year, doesn’t support the standard.

Faster, more accurate and agile computation tools and methods have been developed through the SEMTEC project, led by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. This will enable the elimination of the expensive and time-consuming prototype phase in the electromechanical industry. Finnish industry will gain a competitive advantage due to the faster product development of electrical motors, generators and transformers, which will enter the markets at lower cost. The project will also result in quieter and more energy-efficient machines. The key result of the SEMTEC project is new computation methods, which can now be exploited by industry for the first time, using companies' own tools.. The project produced innovative and accurate methods to control vibrations, dampen noise and improve the energy efficiency of devices. Beneficiaries of the results include the electromechanical industry in particular, which manufactures electric motors, generators and transformers. In addition, cooperation between research and industry will increase when all results are available to everyone via the open-source Elmer software. "Finnish industry will gain a competitive advantage from leaner design processes. Electromechanical devices are seldom mass-produced - each product unit tends to be separately designed. Accelerating product development will therefore markedly shorten delivery times and create a major competitive edge," says project manager Janne Keränen of VTT. For example, the noise generated by lifts and transformers will be reduced. This will enable the reducing of disturbing and tiresome noise in homes and workplaces. "SEMTEC has led to close and symbiotic cooperation between industrial enterprises, research institutes and universities. Open source code means that new models developed by researchers can be tested immediately in the industry's own design systems. The project has enabled the productisation of new, world-class modelling toolset, which we have already been using to win major deals," says Eelis Takala, Lead Research Specialist at Trafotek. Scientific computing in transition: the Elmer tool As computing power grows and the use of open source software increases, electromagnetic computation is reaching a turning point. Old software is seldom suitable for the world of parallel computing. The Elmer tool, an open-source finite element method (FEM) software developed by CSC, was used in the project. Elmer features numerically efficient parallel computing and advanced coupling of multiple phenomena. "Only genuine cooperation enabled the development of software for a new application area so quickly. The importance of parallel computing will continue to grow as number of computational cores in CPUs increases. This leads us to believe that long and fruitful cooperation lies ahead," says Peter Råback of CSC, Product Manager of the Elmer software.

Paul Hollywood has revealed he and Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli were nearly arrested for speeding while filming his new motoring television show. The Great British Bake Off judge returns to screens with Paul Hollywood's Big Continental Road Trip, a BBC Two show which sees him set out to "discover the best and worst of motoring in Italy, Germany and France". Hollywood, 51, cited a stint behind the wheel in Rome as one of the most memorable moments from the upcoming series. He told the Press Association: "Driving around Rome has got to be the scariest thing in the world, especially with Bruno Tonioli in an orange Lamborghini.

volvo’s XC60 mid-sized SUV first broke cover as a concept in Detroit in January 2007. Apart from some wacky seats and long sunroof, it wasn’t much different from the production XC60 which debuted the following year at Geneva. So much so, that we teased Steve Mattin, then Volvo’s design head, that the concept looked like something he’d knocked up a few months after he’d completed the production car. The XC60’s stacked bonnet, [CENSORED]ceous and spacious cabin, big wheels and the unashamed targeting of wealthy American markets hit the spot, however. It’s one of the most successful cars to have used Ford’s EUCD platform, which also underpinned Ford’s Galaxy and S-Max, Land Rover’s Freelander and Discovery Sport, Volvo’s V60 and V70 and the Range Rover Evoque. It’s also, Volvo claims, the bestseller in its class and those volumes helped Volvo through the mid-noughties dog days of lacklustre sales that struggled to exceed 450,000 worldwide (some 150,000 short of its then-owner Ford’s ambitious target), until its purchase by Geely Automobile in 2009/2010. Last year Volvo sales were a record 534,332 and while the old XC60 performed well as usual, it was the brand-new cars, the XC90 and V70 - both based Volvo’s new chassis platform - which pulled up the trees. This £6.27 billion scheme, known as Scaleable Platform Architecture (SPA), uses the same basic structure, which is compact and light as it only has to accommodate four-cylinder engines mounted transversely. Now it’s the turn of the XC60 to be slotted on an SPA platform and Volvo is expecting great things when it goes on sale in the UK this July priced from £37,205, though the only UK-bound car on the launch was the top turbodiesel D5 Power Plus model in Inscription Pro trim, which costs £48,405. The most po[CENSORED]r UK model is likely to be the 187bhp/295lb ft D4 diesel in R-Design trim, which starts at £39,705. While the new car is recognisably an XC60, it’s also recognisably new, looking tauter around the wheels, with a lower and wider stance and meaner-looking headlights. Yes, it’s an SUV, but it’s a good looking one. The cabin feels more like a work of art; perhaps with a little too much detail in places, although that sounds a bit like Emperor Joseph II’s infamous complaint that Mozart’s music “has too many notes”. Upright and closer to the driver than before, the facia has an awesome amount of detail: with layers of chrome, wood, leather, stitching, more chrome, more stitching and more leather - it’s exhausting, but what a performance. The centre console, lifted from the larger XC90, has new control software, which is less intuitive than the old and takes more learning, and for what was billed as the button-less dash, there are still a lot of buttons. The seats are comfortable, cosseting and reasonably supportive - it’s a Volvo, what did you expect? The steering is manually adjustable for reach and rake and the seat height is adjustable, too, so finding a decent driving position shouldn’t be a problem. There’s space enough for three adults across the back seat and, despite the new XC60 being lower than the old model, headroom to spare (just). With a hidden cubby hole under the floor, the 505-litre boot feels high off the ground, so tugging loads in there isn’t for the faint-hearted and old dogs might find it a bit of a struggle, but there’s still plenty of space and the seats all fold forward to make an almost flat load floor. Chief designer Thomas Ingenlath said: “We wanted to address the feeling that you were transporting a lot of air when you were driving on your own.” They’ve certainly managed that and as well as feeling more intimate and classy, the new XC60 feels less like a van than the old, even if they have pinched a bit off the interior to make it happen. The safety systems are mainly borrowed from the XC90, most notable being run-off road mitigation which helps prevent the same by applying torque to the steering wheel to encourage the driver to steer back into the lane, and should an off-road excursion be inevitable, tightening the belts and preparing the safety systems for impact. There’s also a new system to help steer the car back into its lane if it detects an oncoming vehicle (which is a bit alarming for us do-or-die overtakers), and a city braking system that also helps to steer away from the pedestrian/cyclist/moose in the way. Since all big Volvos share the same four-cylinder, 2.0-litre engine configuration, they have to bolt stuff to those engines to make them quicker. In the case of the top model turbodiesel, it’s an ingenious engine-driven compressor, which charges up a cylinder of air that is pumped into the turbo housing to spin up the blades at low revs and reduce turbo lag. It works pretty well and the engine is refined and quiet, although it does growl a bit at low revs. On paper its rapid, too, with a 137mph top speed and 0-62mph in 7.2sec, although this is a big car weighing 1.85 tonnes and the throttle has a very aggressive initial action, which leaves you wanting if you mash it to the bulkhead. Fortunately the Aisin eight-speed transmission does a fine job of metering out the power, only occasionally feeling lost for a ratio. The top gear feels pretty long, with 70mph showing with just 1,800rpm on the revcounter. The Barcelona-based launch provided some twisting mountain roads, which meant the XC60 was down through the gears quite a lot, but despite that we managed 33.2mpg against an official EU Combined economy of 51.4mpg. Wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension was augmented with £1,500’s worth of optional rear air springs and adaptive damping on the test car - standard springing is via a composite transverse leaf spring. With a four-position dynamic control, Comfort mode is exactly that, but without much float, just a lovely breathing sensation on undulating roads. Dynamic stiffens everything with greater accuracy, but the ride doesn’t suffer horribly, although the 20-inch low-profile tyres which are standard on the Inscription Pro spec are likely to be less suited to UK roads than the R-Design’s 19-inch wheels and tyres. The electronically assisted steering isn’t as good as that in the XC90, especially around the straight ahead position, where it feels unresponsive. Optional Pilot Assist, a limited self-driving system combining smart cruise control and automatic lane keeping, comes as part of the £1,500 Intellisafe Pro package. Volvo bravely allows the entire system to be controlled via one steering-wheel thumb switch cluster, which toggles between functions. That’s a confusing stretch even for experienced road testers and it was interesting that Karl-Johan Ekman, the president of this vehicle line, wouldn’t be drawn on whether this was the interface Volvo would take forward to further autonomous systems. Like all the rival systems, this level of self-driving is only partially successful since you always have to hold the steering wheel and are in charge of and responsible for the vehicle at all times. I liked the beep that warned you to keep hold of the wheel, but like its rivals, the system will disengage without a sound if it encounters unfamiliar road conditions. Malin Ekholm, senior director at Volvo’s Safety Centre, said: “We don’t want drivers waiting for the beep,” although she agrees that the protocols for controlling further autonomy will need more work, especially as Volvo is talking about a two-minute hand back to the driver from full autonomous systems. So it’s comfy, swift, safe, good looking and, within reason, economical. It sells into one of the UK’S fastest growing market sectors, in which it’s already one of the class leaders. Could you remind me exactly why the new XC60 isn’t going to be a success? TESTED 2.0-litre turbodiesel, eight-speed automatic gearbox, four-wheel drive PRICE/ON SALE from £37,205 (£48,405 as tested)/July POWER/TORQUE 232bhp @ 4,000rpm, 354lb ft @ 1,750rpm TOP SPEED 137mph ACCELERATION 0-62mph in 7.2sec FUEL ECONOMY 51.4mpg (EU Combined). On test 33.2mpg CO2 EMISSIONS 144g/km VED BAND (131 - 150g/km) £200 first year, then £140 VERDICT A confident and assured redesign on Volvo’s new chassis architecture. Beautiful cabin (in high specs) and supremely comfortable. The chassis prioritises comfort, but it’s not a dynamic disaster and the diesel is growly, but powerful. The steering still needs work, however, and not all the latest updates to Volvo’s control software are a success. TELEGRAPH RATING Four stars out of five
