Is this fairly common with .Mac? Been thinking of signing up for MobileMe and ditching my current web/email host, but I might have second thoughts if its unreliable.

Volkswagen prepping a plug-in "Twin Drive" hybrid for 2010

I guess this could be double edged;

1. Now there are twice as many reasons for your VW to leave you stranded on the side of the road; or, in the alternative;
2. At least it has a backup power plant in there when one of them tries to leave you stranded.

I've owned 3 VW's since 2000 (Jetta & 2 Passats), all of them had electrical problems, engine problems, rubber rot, random mechanical failures, door handles falling off, etc. They were a blast to drive but a nightmare to keep on the road. I've heard the new Jetta has been much improved, but VW has still left a sour taste in my mouth. Combine that with horrible dealers (brought in a car for an oil change and they got into an accident with my car) and I'm staying away.

I'm all for new technology to help with fuel economy, but I just don't trust VW to implement it well.

OoooOOooo! Pick me! Pick me!

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
