@Jeremy Marquardt: I prefer Hot Chillys' mid-weight base layer, but what do you think is better heayweight than Patagonia Capilene R4? Every time I've considered buying it, the next day warmed up.

Sonos and SqueezeBox seem the best implementation of "play networked music". But I'm carrying an Android phone full of music and a streaming music player between all kinds of digital devices that already have speakers. I just want to send my music stream to the nearest one.
@hawkeye18 - SHO fanatic: 60 mpg?
@ɹǝʌoɹ ǝƃuɐɹʇs: I guess you didn't notice the smaller numbers on the sticker.
@Frankenbike666: You're describing the Porsche 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid.
@BrtStlnd: The Volt "only" has a 16 kW·h battery pack, and GM only uses 10.6 kW·h of that (the "12.9 kW·h" in the table at lower right on the sticker is electricity consumed at the plug to recharge and so includes charging losses). The Leaf has a much bigger 24 kW·h battery pack and it uses more of the total to go…
@LastAndLeast: Reading is FUNdamental, see the second line from the bottom. The EPA's 33.7 kW·hrs = 1 gallon of gas is based on the energy available in gasoline (and almost the same as the 33.4 kW·h in [en.wikipedia.org] ). Of course the energy in gasoline mostly turns into heat, which is why electric cars get such…
@solracer: this new EPA sticker does nothing in helping to figure that out
@Hobz: Did you even read the sticker instead of skimming Jalopnik's headline? There are lots of numbers and explanations, including "MPG equivalent: 33.7 kW·hrs = 1 gallon gasoline energy". "36 kW·hrs / 100 miles electric" is the key for electric. And those costs for different lengths of travel are pretty compelling…

@Matt White: The Volt is the first plug-in hybrid for sale; it burns no gasoline for 40 miles; you recharge it at home as the cheapest and least-polluting[**] way to travel those 40 miles, but then you can keep going. With all that tech, it could be forgiven for being a poorly-executed low-volume technology…
@Avastmateys: James May was an idiot for saying "there's no battery" in the Honda Clarity fuel cell vehicle. An FCV is a battery electric car powered by an incredibly expensive fuel cell that requires a non-existent hydrogen infrastructure. An electric car that you can't plug in at home as the cheapest and least…
@D_Robb: All the current Prius' energy comes from gasoline, so the regular MPG perfectly captures its efficiency. It's a 50 mpg car. The hybrid system just recaptures some of that energy during braking to recharge a battery that turns a motor, which contributes to its high rating.
@daPrinz: "You have to move forward."
I upgraded to an LG Optimus S (Android 2.2, 2GB microSD, fast CPU) for free two weeks ago with a "Like Radio Shack on Facebook" coupon, at the same time I upgraded another line to HTC Evo.
@Admiral_Awesome: Have you really failed to understand the science, or are you just saying something cute?
@dangertree: You're confused. The Volt really is the first plug-in hybrid, unless you're counting homebrew Prius conversions.
@dangertree: Does it honestly do anything incredibly revolutionary?
