The good: The 2013 Ford Focus ST delivers responsive handling and plenty of power from its efficient four-cylinder engine. Voice command handles destination input, music selection, phone calls, and app integration.

The bad: The optional MyFord Touch system has a clunky interface, especially when it comes to navigation. The Recaro seats can be a little much for everyday use.

The bottom line: A very rewarding car to drive, the 2013 Ford Focus ST will satisfy enthusiasts on weekend runs and the daily commute, but the cabin tech is a mixed bag, with the excellence of Sync offset by the navigation system interface

THE Servey suggest the shopper loathe the stores put up their Christmas decorations before giving thank,they are even keener to shop online

when there was no choice about shopping stores did say they pleased

If they decided that the holiday season began when the clocks went back, then shoppers had to endure it.

Now, however, shoppers don't have to populate malls where the restrooms are clean, but the fountains are dirty.

Now, they have the Web.

It seems, indeed, that this year might represent an even greater rebellion against holiday decorations adorning stores before Thanksgiving.

iPad Mini 'banned' ad zooms to YouTube popularity

With tongue in cheek, the spoof video borrows Apple's visual style and tone, and reminds us why the "iPad Mini is the future...until May, at least."

An amusing spoof advertisement for the recently released iPad Mini has taken off on YouTube.

The fake ad, which details why you'll almost inevitably buy the iPad Mini, was created by John Elerick and his team, masquerading as Apple execs including design head "Jony Five." Billed as a "banned" iPad Mini promo, it mimics an official Apple ad remarkably well.

Laden with sarcasm, the spoof video borrows Apple's visual style and tone, and highlights some of the more "interesting" features of the new tablet, comparing processor speed, camera capabilities, and the various specifications of each Apple device, including the iPhone 4S and iPod Touch.

"iPad Mini is the thinnest iPad we've ever designed -- surprise, surprise. It's 0.4mm thinner than the iPhone 5, which was just released a month ago, so as usual, each product is thinner than the last. It's always going to be thinner. Except with the third-generation iPad, which is now the old new iPad. And not the Retina display iPad. Not to be confused with iPad Mini, which doesn't have a Retina display. But is thinner," says "Gregg Joswak," billed as the vice president of iPad thickness.
