2013 Ram 1500

Enough Is Enough. Finally. Not long ago, the efforts of an automaker to put a six-cylinder engine into a pickup truck went something like this: take the basic bread-and-butter V8, lop two cylinders off one end of the block and call it a day. The resulting engines were generally pretty rough around the edges, and while they were able to churn out reasonable amounts of torque, they generally weren't good at anything else. Instead of being smooth running, they shook and shimmied; in place of a quiet highway jaunt, they operated well outside their low-rpm comfort zones and sent a corresponding racket throughout the cabin.

Charging station for your Apple Bluetooth keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad

I use an Apple Bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse with my Mac mini desktop setup.  I've been surprised at how long a set of batteries last in the keyboard, but the mouse needs fairly frequent battery changes.  I'll hang my head in shame and admit that I use disposable batteries in both devices, because I need to keep using my computer even when batteries are exhausted.  With the Magic Feet charging station from Mobee, I could keep all my Apple devices charged – and could even keep using them while they charge – without throwing away so many disposable batteries.
