<description><![CDATA[Could the Fiesta be the first North American car to get Ford&amp;39's new 1.0-L EcoBoost(Credit:Ford)Ford's been taking advantage of its EcoBoost forced-induction technology to downsize engines across its line. V-8s give way to turbocharged V-6s. V-6s give way to turbo four-bangers. Continuing the trend, Ford has just announced the smallest engine it's ever built: a 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine.Besides the obvious fuel savings from its lower displacement, Ford's new tiny terror packs in all sorts of economy boosting technologies. For example, Ford's split cooling system helps the cylinder block to warm faster which helps to save fuel during the least efficient warm-up phase, especially in cold weather. The three-cylinder's exhaust manifold is cast as one piece with the cylinder head which lowers the temperature of the exhaust gases allowing the engine to run in a wider rpm band with the optimum fuel-to-air ratio. There's also direct injection, variable camshaft timing, an offset crankshaft, and--of course--the turbocharger. The engine is also lighter, which should be good for efficiency, performance, and responsiveness.Ford hasn't published any performance or economy numbers for its new EcoBoost 1.0-liter, as the kinks are still being worked out. Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president of Global Product Development said the new engine will deliver horsepower and torque outputs equivalent to or better than most normally aspirated 1.6-liter gasoline engines. Using the automaker's own 1.6-L Duratec as a benchmark, that means around 120hp and 112 pound-feet of torque and better than 40mpg on the highway.More technical and application details for the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will be released in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, but we can expect to see this engine under the hood of the Ford Fiesta sometime in the future.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mixpanel has been trying to challenge established analytics services like Omniture (now owned by Adobe) by allowing website publishers to track any information they want in real-time. Now chief executive Suhail Doshi said he wants to hit the competition in one of its most vulnerable points &amp;8212' design.  Services like Omniture look terrible and are a4Abloated and difficulta4 to use, Doshi said. So today, Mixpanel is launching a redesigned site for all of its customers, which ita4a4s calling Mixpanel 2.0. Doshi said it represents a huge improvement in Mixpanela4a4s look, and you can decide for yourself by comparing a screenshot of the new site (above) with the old one (below). Equally important, the redesign creates room for the San Francisco companya4a4s future features.  a4AWe plan on pumping out so much product over the next year,a4 Doshi said. a4AWe know exactly what we want to do, so we have room for the next set of major things that we plan on launching.a4  Besides the facelift, Mixpanel is adding a new feature that should make it easier for customers to find the exact piece of data that theya4a4re looking for. Now you can bookmark a specific page in Mixpanel, allowing you want to check that data again later with just a click. That may sound like a minor upgrade, but as someone who spends a lot of time clicking through multiple pages in Google Analytics, I think it could actually be a huge timesaver. Plus, the company plans to launch email alerts in a couple of weeks, which can include details from each of a customera4a4s bookmarked pages.  Mixpanel has raised $500,000 and was incubated by Y Combinator. As evidence of the company&amp;'s growth, Doshi said the amount of data processed by the service for Mixpanel customers increases 30 to 40 percent each month.

<description><![CDATA[TwoSixty Inc, an online phone management service backed by Y Combinator, announced today that it has launched TellFi.ca a4&quot;a version of its virtual phone service specifically for Canada.The phone service is a lot like Google Voice a4&quot;it gives companies phone numbers that employees and customers can access and manage from anywhere. The company is focusing on keeping the quality of each phone call high in order to compete with voice-over-Internet programs like Skype and now Googlea4a4s internal calling service in Gmail a4&quot;both of which are cheaper than TellFi on a per-call basis.The service is geared toward companies rather than typical consumers, which Google has targeted with Google Voice. To that end, TellFi features conference call lines, extensions to other phone numbers and voicemail transcription. Companies can also forward their calls to other phones and schedule calls at a certain time.a4AIta4a4s a virtual phone system for someone who owns a cupcake store to someone who&amp;'s not very technical,a4 said co-founder Conor Lee. a4AGoogle Voice has a lot of great features, but it isn&amp;'t appropriate for businesses.a4Each company can get a phone number for free for a year as part of the promotion for the new Canadian push. That includes 100 free minutes per month, and it costs 6 cents per minute after that. There are two premium subscriptions, one for $24 a month and one for $70 a month. The better the subscription, the more minutes and phone numbers each company gets. The company has already picked up around 100 early subscribers in Canada.TellFi decided to move into Canada after Grand Central, an early player in online phone management, dropped its numbers in Canada. Thata4a4s because Google bought Grand Central in 2007 and eventually remade the service into Google Voice.The telephony company is also one of the first companies to be backed by angel investors Yuri Milner and Ron Conwaya4a4s new Start Fund. Each company in the winter 2011 Y Combinator class has the option to take a $150,000 investment from Milner and Conway, which caused a bit of a stink among angel investors who might lose the chance to invest in promising Y Combinator companies. Y Combinator typically invests between $15,000 and $20,000 in each company for the first several months.
