Several years ago I got the idea to use my wife's feet as a heat sink for an overclocked CPU. Once I solved the issue of frost buildup on the chip, it worked great.

Yes and no. I believe plug-in hybrids are the best vehicle for the near future, but they are more of an incremental improvement, not a radical improvement over existing cars.
Correct, which is why it will be the 3rd and 4th gen hybrid that will be the game changer.

Think of today's Hybrids as the equivalent of the first iPod. "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."

Though must of you probably know what half of these already are, its still worth a read (or at the very least a cheap laugh).
