    There are enterprise-level SSD/drive hybrids used for backups, nowadays. You're right though, moving objects used to hold data seems so... 80's...

    That's you... for not understanding that there are protective measures already in place in data centers. For things that you just can't stop (the above...), you don't lose sleep over and you have redundant locations. (if it's that important)

    As a sentient human being, you should realize that the earth is far more complex than "there was a flood, and it made marks"....
    We've had impacts of continents, large glacial freezes, melts, very high temperatures, impacts from objects in space, etc. Quite literally it's been of biblical proportions that even the bible couldn't fathom.

    Dude... civilizations existed longer than 6,000 years ago... (Sumerians, Babylonians, Akkadians, etc) Heck, even writing was used by Sumerians 5,500 years ago...

    I know you're being a troll but this is for others who are agreeing with you now... hybrid is not a bad idea, it's an incremental idea. It saves fuel and pollution while at the same time funding research into electric.
    Nothing in this world ever seems to happen revolutionary, mostly evolutionary. It's not green hype, it's "dude, wtf?".

    As far as charging the batteries, that's what Toyota Prius (and other series hybrid) do. In fact, with generators feeding from gasoline engines & from rolling forces along with light braking.

    Running the car itself takes quite a bit of energy, which is why most electric cars are 100 miles or less per charge. Well, except for the Tesla models. Those are amazing.

    Okay, inform us, what is a "true" series hybrid? Let's push the Volt out of the picture here since it's not series, and work with the rest.

    The real apples to apples is MPG, not miles per tank. (since tank sizes vary by quite a bit) It's better to use numbers when comparing. Age isn't a factor in fuel economy comparison :-)

    Also, remember the Volt's tank size is 9.3 gallons. That's from full to bone dry. Let's do the match so we don't just have people shrugging. 375 miles / 9 gallons = 41.6 MPG. Not top notch, but even as I'm not a fan of the Volt one bit... it's a pretty significant number for a 4 passenger vehicle that isn't cramped.

    I personally prefer my Prius... ~450 miles per tank fill (8-9 gallons, depending on when I fill it on the last fuel gauge bar).

    "tethering" is an abstract word. In your case, do you mean "tethering" as the nokia acting as a 802.11b/g/n hotspot? If so, then yes. Otherwise, not that I have seen. Bluetooth treats devices tethered in that fashion as a serial device.
