Image: Apple Would-be iPhone 5 owners are in store for disappointment when they connect their shiny new Apple device into their BMW or Mini model. The new Lightning connector and the adapter necessary to convert the nearly decade-old 30-pin arrangement to the new 8-pin setup won’t work with the vehicle’s iPod Out functionality. iPod Out allows drivers to get a familiar, iPod-like interface displayed on the in-dash screen if they equipped their BMW and Mini models with the feature. The new Lightning connector eliminates the analog video signal required to transmit that display to the screen, so iPod Out functionality...http://feeds.wired.com/~r/wired/index/~3/y9Z3y_XxjoI/

That news might sound great for Pinterest, except that the company still hasn’t pinned down a way to turn that love into money.

Ayrton Senna talks to “Prof” Sid Watkins in Spain, 1990. Photo: Sutton Images/Corbis Sid Watkins, the Formula One doctor who not only treated drivers, but implemented safety measures that saved drivers’ lives, has passed away from cancer at age 84. Most famously, Watkins treated Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian three-time F1 champion who died in 1994 at age 34 after a crash at the San Marino Grand Prix in Italy. After Senna’s crash, Watkins performed a tracheotomy in hopes of reviving the driver after a wheel-assembly piece had penetrated his visor and forehead. Senna’s was the last F1 driver fatality.
