A Chinese auto manufacturer, BYD, is introducing today the country's first electric car, a plug-in hybrid vehicle. It plans to sell at least 10,000 cars in 2009 for a price of less than $22,000.

The power of OS X hot keys unlocked

Kräuterdroge "Spice" enthält künstlich hergestellten Stoff
Laut neuer Studie ist die Modedroge mehr als eine Kräutermischung: Sie enthält eine chemische Substanz aus der Arzneimittelforschung
Die Forscher fanden den einst an der Universität Clemson (USA) entwickelten Stoff JWH-018. Er ist der Studie zufolge viermal stärker als der natürliche Cannabis-Wirkstoff THC und verursacht die Rauschwirkung.
