“Budget iPhone 5″ Geared for China?

Rumors about the cheap version of iPhone 5 just won't die down. Despite what an Apple executive has said about how cheap smartphones will never be the future of Apple's products, sources claim that a budget iPhone 5 is indeed in the works. Citing “reliable sources,” Jeremy Horwitz of iLounge reports that Apple will replace the aluminum body of its latest smartphone with a cheaper plastic casing. He adds that the cheaper version of iPhone 5 would have a Retina display, as well as a Lightning connector.

There is a catch, though.

Archos Ultrathin Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad

Normally when I find a new product from Archos, it's an Android tablet.  This time, they have a Bluetooth keyboard for us.  The Ultrathin Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad works with the iPad 2 and the 3rd- and 4th-gen iPads.  At 9.48″ x 7.32″ x 0.2″, it's not much thicker than a Smart Cover; it weighs 0.5 pounds. There's a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery inside that Archos says will give you months of typing time between charges, and the exterior is made of brushed aluminum with white keys.  The keyboard uses a variety of magnets to attach it to the iPad for three functions.

This is how not to wash your car's windshield

We've heard of all manners of interesting ways to wash cars and car parts. Naturally, there's more store-bought specialized detergents than you can shake a rag at, but we've seen plenty of dish soap, vinegar, club soda and even Coke used to clean a stubborn part or two. Sometimes, though, you've just got a little spot on your windshield that needs to be cleared off before you continue your commute. So, you pull into the gas station, grab the thoughtfully provided squeegee wand and go to town. Or, if you're the woman in the video down below, you take a somewhat different tactic.

Needless to say, we don't recommend following in her example.

Verizon Discovers Developer Outsourcing Work To China So He Could Browse The Internet

We know there are many of you out there who would absolutely love to not be working right now and would much rather be out adventure, playing videos, or browsing the Internet from the comfort of your own home. But would you think to pay someone else to do your job at a fraction of what you get paid so you could goof off. That's exactly what happened in this story Verizon Wireless helped uncover. “Bob” was a developer at an infrastructure company who outsourced his work to Chinese workers, paying them “about fifty grand annually” while he collected a “several hundred thousand dollars a year” salary.

Virginia's Gov. McDonnell proposes elimination of gasoline tax

The assessment of a gas tax and the role it plays in a state's transportation and overall budgets has been a topic of discussion for a while, and Virginia state governor Bob McDonnell is the latest to offer up another way to secure more revenue from the state's residents to pay for their roads and public transportation. McDonnell's proposal would eliminate Virginia's 17.5-percent gas tax entirely, with funds for infrastructure projects coming from an increase in the sales tax from five percent to 5.8 percent and an annual $100 fee assessed on drivers of alternative-fuel and hybrid vehicles.

The carrier is now giving away a $100 bill credit in exchange for a two-year contract if you'll purchase an HSPA+ version of Google's Nexus 7 on Google Play.

2014 Jeep Compass/Patriot sing their swan songs with a six-speed automatic

Unless the governor, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, gives them a reprieve, the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot are expected to meet their makers sometime next year. Should they perish, it's a shame that it would happen just as they've shed the continuously variable transmission that was their major bugbear, and just as the Compass has gotten its best looks yet. Both will roll with a proper six-speed automatic transmission, courtesy of PowerTech. Noise-resistant gears and tuning by Chrysler boffins should alleviate the unappealing sounds that were given off by the older CVT.

Mini John Cooper Works Paceman is a potent little hot hatch in a fat suit

If there's one thing we're never going to complain about, it's that Mini has found it necessary to put the John Cooper Works treatment on every single one of its models. We love the JCW package across the board, and the final installment of the high-performance chapter (for now, anyway) comes in the form of the John Cooper Works Paceman, debuting here at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. The John Cooper Works formula hasn't been altered in any way here, and like the JCW Countryman on which the Paceman is based, it comes standard with Mini's All4 all-wheel-drive system.
