When I was a kid, the Big Wheel endgame was to pedal down the driveway, then peel out in a Mario Kart-esque sliding turn. That typically meant more skinned chins and elbows than glory. Razor’s Crazy Cart, though, lets me drift to my heart’s content. You want fun? This thing’s got fun.

Wanna mod that shiny new Nexus 7? Today’s your lucky day. Google just posted the factory image and binaries for its second generation 7-inch tablet — also known by the product name “razor” and device name “flo”. The factory image lets you restore your new Nexus 7 to the exact software it shipped with in case you grow tired of that custom ROM you cooked up using the binaries (natch). Speaking of which, the packages include drivers for audio and sensors from ASUS, NFC from Broadcom plus graphics and everything-but-the-kitchen-sink from Qualcomm.

Follow the source links below and have fun hacking this weekend.

Vizio’s long been the champion of affordable flat-screen TVs, and its new E-Series Razor LED TV puts a massive 60-inch display in your home theater for a mere $1,000.
