Filed under: Transportation We’ve been hearing about vehicle-to-grid (V2G) for quite a while, and now a team at the University of Michigan is conducting an extensive study on the technology as part of a national sustainable energy solution. While current electric plants are good at generating power, they often fall short when it comes to storage — which can be a problem when there’s a power surge or when demand increases

Filed under: Laptops Laptop Mag would evidently like to make two things quite clear: if you pick up MSI’s Wind U90 , you better love SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 and be totally cool with the sub-2 hour battery life.
