Finally, an Espresso Machine for the Car


It’s 8:45 a.m. and you’re just getting into your car to leave for work. There’s no time for coffee—but you’ve never needed it more. A new espresso machine that plugs into a car’s cigarette lighter socket aims to give French drivers a cup of espresso wherever they are.
The invention frees caffeine lovers from the tyranny of the clunky, immobile espresso machine. The company draws its unofficial motto, “Liberté, qualité, mobilité” from the French Revolution slogan, “Liberté, égalité, fraternité.”
Skip to 3:45... to see the Empresso Machine for your car!

Tech Article 3/9

At the site where Apple debuted its third-generation tablet computer, one question was on everyone's lips: So, what do we call this thing?
          The answer, according to an Apple spokesman: "It's just 'iPad.' It's what it is."
But there still seems to be potential for confusion, especially since the first-generation iPad was just called "iPad" and the next one was called "iPad 2." If someone were selling one of these new iPads on Craigslist next year, what would they call it?
Maybe "iPad 4." That would seem logical if unlikely at this point.
