After a last minute extension last week, the FCC has finally stopped taking comments regarding the controversial net neutrality proposal. We don’t know what effect over 1 million comments will have on the decision, but we do know what the public is saying: fast lanes are not acceptable and corporations shouldn’t control access to the Internet.

Rain, racing, crashes, delays, and more rain. That’s a quick sum up of the 2014 Honda Indy Toronto that took place this weekend at the Exhibition Place near downtown Toronto. It wasn’t all bad though, as the heavy rain only started coming down late Saturday, and early morning on Sunday. Indy lights, Porsche GT, Formula 1600, Pirelli World Challenge, and Stadium Super Truck races all went smoothly up until mother nature decided to soak the track and drastically change road conditions to challenge drivers, and confuse track officials… READ MORE

Potato Salad took Kickstarter by storm a few days ago when the project to create a salad went viral, convincing many people to donate a lot more money for this particular Kickstarter listing than it actually needed. However, there are more interesting and useful projects out there, such as the pd.id stick that’s currently looking to raise $100,000 by August 29 on Indiegogo. What the pd.id can do is to quickly test a beverage for traces of drugs that are sometimes used to coerce some people into doing things they otherwise wouldn’t – in other words, pd.id is a date rape drug test capable of quickly recognizing many types of drugs.

Here at Autoblog Canada we often drive the latest new cars, but to be honest, we will always make time to appreciate the classics out there. The Nissan Skyline was a performance staple in its native Japan for nearly 20 years before the company finally unveiled the GT-R to the world in 2008. For most North Americans, the R35 is all they know and have never had the opportunity to experience some of the legacy models like the: R32, R33 and highly advanced R34. However, the annual Skymeet event held in Toronto each summer draws in record numbers of them from across the country.
Here in Canada, our vehicle importation laws allow any vehicle 15 years old (or older) to be easily brought in. And when late 2004 came around, the 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R was eligible and ships carrying them started flowing into western ports. As the most winning GT race car of all time, the R32 was the dream of those fascinated with its 29 consecutive race wins, spanning four straight seasons of Japan touring car series. With a 280 hp 2.6L twin turbo inline-6, all-wheel steering and intelligent all-wheel drive, the featherweight chassis was lightyears ahead of other street cars and totally dominated in race trim.
Enthusiasts also imported other Skylines including the RWD, single turbo GTS-T and the 4-door GTS-4 but often swap in the more potent RB26DETT mill to push them. More recently, the R33 GT-R has become a more common sight, with the holy grail of the lineup still being the R34 GT-R, which will be eligible for import this year in late 2014.
Skymeet 2014 brought out many Skylines from different provinces for a day of sun, food and awards. Click here to check out our full photo gallery from the team at AMS Motorsports who photographed most of these nearly quarter century classics for us to share with all of you.

The heated back and forth between Netflix and Verizon has gone on for long enough that other companies are beginning to throw their hats into the ring. Level 3, a Netflix network operator, came forward with evidence last week which seemed to indicate that Verizon had the capacity to cheaply and quickly upgrade its network to improve streaming quality for customers, but was consciously deciding not to do so. Verizon, unwilling let these accusations go unaccounted for, has responded with a snippy blog post of its own.
