Porsche almost killed the 911 in the 1980′s – they saw the 928 and other models as the future of the brand instead of the rear-engined 911. However, a few insiders grew enough support to keep it going and saved the 911 from the history books. Now, Porsche acknowledges the 911 as the identity of the brand – as shown in this video released last week as part of their marketing campaign for the new 911. It arrives in dealers this spring.

Rogers has been using an archaic program guide on their cable TV service for years now. They’re probably the only one in North America still using it. Well, they have finally decided to upgrade. The new program guide will be in full HD and the rollout started this week.
