Department of Justice | Email this | Comments - VLC hits version 2.0: brings presents to all the platforms
Open-source friend to all the video codecs, VLC media player, has hit version 2.0, bringing with it a raft of new features across Mac OS, Windows and Unix versions. VideoLAN’s also brought the player kicking and screaming into this decade with a better (read; less Windows 98-looking) makeover. The PC version will include a new 64-bit edition, while Mac OS X users will get a new iTunes-esque look, playback for Blu-ray and a new native full screen mode for Lion. There’s also a new subtitle manager and support for multiple videos inside RAR files. There’s also two extra surprises; an iOS version makes a return to the fold, with the development of an Android version appearing in the change log. Willing to give the first release a try? The files are available for your platform of choice at the source link below.

We may have attended the Model X premiere, but despite us pleading for a ride-along, Tesla PR insisted only those who’d plunked cash for a pre-order that evening would get the chauffeur treatment. Thankfully there’s YouTube user TheSpeedRead, who either threw down enough cash or was swift enough to evade security, slipping into a Model X and gratuitously posting it for all to see. In the video above you’ll catch a glimpse of the interior, which features the same 17-inch touchscreen as in the Model S. In addition, a Tesla employee muses about the advantages of its dual motor AWD system and low center of gravity as he sashays the crossover through a slalom course outside Tesla’s design HQ. Our friends at Autoblog Green also culled a video from SmartPlanet featuring the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, reflecting on the advantages of the Model X’s unique “Falcon Wing” rear doors and touting the advantages of not having a space-hogging combustion engine in its front — enabling the front trunk, or Frunk, to serve as a crumple zone “two to three times greater” than in competing vehicles. Get the full sales pitch from the entrepreneur extraordinaire after the break.
