...Bluetooth for wireless headsets and, unlike many Bluetooth phones in the U.S., direct communication with PC desktops. The tiny lithium ion battery can be charged from a computer's USB port, and can pull off up to 400 minutes of talk time. The integrated iTunes music player lasts up to 11 hours when you're wearing headphones and when you've got the phone in Airplane Mode - that is, with the phone connectivity turned...
...motorcycle within earshot of a sleeping Jemima, Beddoe flew into a rage, chasing him and screaming profanities. That night, preparing dinner, she used a knife to make shallow cuts in her left forearm, just to see how it felt. Over time her psychiatrist added tranquilizers, an extra antidepressant, lithium and eventually an antipsychotic to Beddoe's diet of drugs. There was also a course of electroconvulsive therapy.

EnergyCS and Clean-Tech have launched a start-up called E-Drive Systems, which plans to sell by next year kits to convert the Prius into a plug-in (though the modifications will void the warranty). At speeds below 35 m.p.h., Hanssen's Prius sails along on its 18 lithium batteries for up to 30 miles at a go--well within the range envisioned by Gaffney. The conversion cost isn't cheap: $15,000, which Hanssen hopes to cut to around $10,000. "It won't pay for itself in gas savings," Hanssen admits, "but neither does the Prius. People...
