TrueCar, an information service launched at TechCrunch50 that aims to give potential new car buyers an idea of what the price tag of the vehicle they’re considering purchasing should really be reading, is officially launching its free consumer-focused website today by taking the beta label off.
In essence, the service allows car buyers to check if the price for their next car is on par with the price others have paid for the same vehicle in the past, hopefully bringing some transparency to the automotive retail industry.

WordPress object cache with memcached backend is mainly meant for WPMU and doesn’t work well if you happened to have many vanilla WordPress installations using the same memcached backend like it is pointed out here and here.
I have created a simple patch which you can apply against object-cache.php (downloadable from WordPress plugin repository) or here is the file already patched. The patch prepends the $blog_id to the object key. You will have to specify global variable $blog_id in wp-config.php and give it a unique id (like your blog url).

Login LockDown records the IP address and timestamp of every failed WordPress login attempt. If more than a certain number of attempts are detected within a short period of time from the same IP range, then the login function is disabled for all requests from that range. This helps to prevent brute force password discovery. Currently the plugin defaults to a 1 hour lock out of an IP block after 3 failed login attempts within 5 minutes. This can be modified via the Options panel. Admisitrators can release locked out IP ranges manually from the panel.

cSprites is a unique WordPress plugin that allows you to speed up your page loading time by reducing the number of requests for images and compressing the file size of those images. It works by first scanning your content for <img> tags, it then combines all of your images into a single large image called a sprite. The plugin then creates special CSS classes to display your images and replaces all of your <img> with new ones containing the updated CSS classes, next it inserts a new CSS file into your page <head> tag. Now when your page loads, rather than making many requests for multiple image files, it will make one request for the new sprite. It works by first scanning your content for <img> tags, it then combines all of your images into a single large image called a sprite. The plugin then creates special CSS classes to display your images and replaces all of your <img> with new ones containing the updated CSS classes, next it inserts a new CSS file into your page <head> tag.
