Video: First trailer for X-Files mini-series looks great

Mulder and Sculley have finally come full circle in the trailer for the new X-Files mini-series which debuts in January 24, 2016 on Fox.

Happening now: Tesla unveils their Model X electric SUV

Another great step forward in automotive evolution, Tesla's first new vehicle in three years, the Model X, is an hour away from being released into the world. The Model X has been in the works for many years now and challenged by various delays. It is said that pre-orders are backed up into next year. The first few dozen models, called Signature Edition are already spoken for and cost upwards of US $130,000 a piece.

The Model X will have three rows of seating and lots of space, which sounds like your garden variety SUV. But being a Tesla, it does have some tricks up its sleeve. It has 'Falcon Wing doors" which are giant gullwing doors that swing upwards. Tesla Model X will have a minimum 250 miles of range with a 90kWh battery pack. Acceleration and performance is also off the charts with 0-60 mph expected at around 3.2 seconds (on the Ludicrous speed setting) which is supercar territory and a bit insane for a family car.

Tesla's pushing out a livestream of the event right now and it is running late.

Little is known about the new device and where it will place in HTC's current lineup (i.e. will it replace the HTC One M9 or will it be a midrange model?). The #BeBrilliant hashtag and the coal background of the invitation hints at something diamond-related. We'll have to wait and see.

While the Mac and OS X El Capitan didn't get any love during the jam packed Apple event earlier this month, it was hinted at that event that the latest update to the Mac operating system, El Capitan, would be coming on September 30th.

While not as dramatic in look or feel as Mavericks or Yosemite were, El Capitan focuses on various enhancements and refinements to make compuiting on MacBooks, iMacs and Mac Pros more efficient and secure.

Improvements include smarter Spotlight searches, the ability to silence audio from browser tabs, streamlined Mission Control features and a much anticipated Split View feature for better on screen multitasking. Stay tuned for my full review of OS X El Capitan coming in a few weeks.
