China’s government wants 5 million electric cars on the roads by 2020

Earlier this week, China’s Ministry of Science and Technology released a new plan that stresses the importance of developing China’s renewable energy market by increasing the number of cars that run on renewable energy. The target: to have 5 million “new energy” (mostly electric) cars on China’s roads by the year 2020. To facilitate that, the government will support the research and development of related automotive tech. The news sent stock prices climbing for many Chinese companies in the car and battery markets.

Still, 5 million cars by 2020 could be a big ask. According to Sina Tech, China is producing relatively low numbers in this industry at the moment; for example, it produced just over 2,000 fully electric cars this past January. Production numbers are rising fast, but for China to hit 5 million electric cars by 2020, they’ll need to maintain that feverish pace.

There are also questions about whether China’s consumer market is ready to embrace electric cars. Smaller electric vehicles like mopeds are already quite popular in many Chinese cities, but fully electric cars like those produced by Tesla haven’t done particularly well. Tesla sold just 120 cars in January in China.

Of course, the new measures announced by the Ministry of Science and Technology are aimed at bolstering the domestic electric car industry, so they’re likely not good news for Tesla anyway. Can Chinese companies produce a green electric car that will sell better than Elon Musk’s vehicles have in the Middle Kingdom? With the support of the government, it seems likely that they’ve got a good shot.

Review German iPad Magician Turns Items on Display Into Real Items (Video)

Leave it to the Ellen Show to debut a German magician who can take objects from the iPad  screen and turn them into reality. It’s obvious a series of tricks and illusions, but they’re brilliantly done, as you can see below.

He takes the image on the screen and makes it into a Polaroid-like picture and manages to do the same thing in reverse. He even calls a friend via FaceTime and took the red straw he was holding all the way cross the Ocean. At some point the magician even poured milk via FaceTime, unbelievable as that may be. While some tricks may seem like they’re instantly easy to explain, others are mind blowing.

The magician, Simon Pierro goes into the audience at some point, takes a selfie with the “magic iPad” together with fans and places it into an old school photo frame. That was a pretty crazy series of tricks and I find it very hard to explain the last one, at least. Can you? Nice promotion for the iPad…

Updated Nvidia SHIELD Tablets Are Facing Color Reproduction Issues

A few days ago the guys from NVIDIA started to push the 2.2 update for the SHIELD Tablets. Even if this new version brought some good improvements, like more GRID games, an improved battery life and broader support for high performance chargers, there’s still some problems for few users.

We get to know that some Shield units are facing weird color reproduction issues on their devices, mostly with bright colors like red and orange. As you can see from the picture above, the once vibrant red and black wallpaper is now washed out and looks brownish.

After some users reported this issue to NVIDIA, they’ve returned with a statement that says : We’re aware that some SHIELD tablet owners are noticing a change in screen colors after the most recent software update. We’re currently working on a fix and should have it available soon. Stay tuned. While you’re waiting for a new update, you can see a little change by setting the color correction preset to native.
