With child-rearing ideas like these, you have to wonder how the human species survived as long as it did
Over the years there has been some colossally bad advice about how to raise babies, mostly coming from men. If breast milk is so deficient as Walter W. Sackett Jr believed, why didn't primates including humans go extinct millions of years ago?
As much as I value science, it's only useful when backed up by actual evidence. Screwball ideas like most of these are no more scientific than creationism or the flying spaghetti monster.
Baby “Experts” You Should Definitely Ignore
In the annals of bad baby advice, a dubious prize goes to Tennessee preacher Michael Pearl, who provoked outrage last year when it came to light that a book he’d written with his wife, To Train Up a C…

Apparently I'm not the only one thinking of a diesel-flywheel-hybrid Audi supercar
UK magazine Autocar is reporting today that +Audi International is working on a plans for a supercar powered by a diesel engine with a flywheel-hybrid-electric system much like the Le Mans-winning R18 e-tron quattro. About a month ago I speculated pretty much the same thing https://plus.google.com/114133424228405038490/posts/jD87pkgvvP6 following the rumors that Audi was scuttling it's plans to build a battery-electric version of the R8.
The difference here is that Audi is guessing that this diesel hybrid would be a new model above the R8. It's entirely possible that such a model could be derived from the R8 platform while gaining a new name like R10. I'd certainly love to try out a car like this regardless of what it's called.

C&D tries out the new Ford C-Max Energi
Csaba Csere of +Car and Driver Magazine recently spent a day with the new +Ford Motor Company C-Max Energi around San Francisco and came away pretty impressed. For those that really want to take advantage of more zero emission driving capability, the 118 hp electric motor and 7.2 kWh battery gives better capability and range than the Prius PHV and the tall wagon bodystyle is a lot more useful than the Chevy Volt. The C-Max is also cheaper than its competitors.
There was one error in Csaba's review however. The C-Max is built on the platform of the Focus, not the smaller Fiesta.

The original Mac portable of 1989 was pretty much the opposite of a contemporary MacBook Air
The fact that you could move it around was about the limit of its portability at 16 pounds and 4 inches thick. This particular example has been modified somewhat to with new guts that have actually transformed it into a hackintosh, allowing it to run OSX.
