Audi working on new fuels to make cars carbon neutral

Even as automakers move to increase the number of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), fuel cell vehicles and hybrids, internal combustion technology is not standing still. In fact, Audi believes that the future will see a mix of propulsion technologies and that internal combustion can play a role in producing vehicles that have minimal CO2 impact on the environment. As shown by Toyota's recent announcement to slow-walk EVs, the industry is looking into other alternatives besides pure electrics to meet ever-tightening Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards and zero-emission mandates like those enacted by California.

ZAGGkeys Solo Bluetooth Keyboard and ZAGGfolio iPad case review

I've looked at a lot of Bluetooth keyboards and keyboard cases for the three versions of the iPad I've owned.  Usually I find the on-screen keyboard is okay for a quick email, but I can't type well enough with it to enter anything longer than that.  I don't often need to enter large amounts of text on my iPad, but it would be nice to have a compact case for my iPad that would serve as both a stand and a keyboard for those occasions when I might need it.
