The Nissan Leaf Review: A Fun And Practical Electric Car For The Masses
If the road is smooth enough, you can hear birds chirping while you're going 35 mph. With the windows up. The Nissan Leaf is that quiet. When going less than 30 mph there's just a slight electric whine from the powertrain and above 45 mph the wheels produces a steady hum. But there's this special spot between 30 and 45 where the two combine in a way that they cancel each other out and you find yourself moving along listening to Mother Nature's soundtrack. The Nissan Leaf has been in my life for the past week. I've put hundreds of miles on the tires and ate several meals behind the wheel while trying to figure her out. You see, as much as this pains me to say (more on that later) the Leaf is a real car. It doesn't feel like a glorified golf cart or tool used just for transportation. It's a car and with this comes quirks, flaws, but most importantly, a personality and soul.

The CEO of China's Twitter has big dreams. The Wall Street Journal reports that Charles Chao, CEO of Sina Corp., wants to create the next Facebook. And with more than 140 million users, he's well on his way.

Robert Pattinson: Pie-In-The-Face Fun
It looks like the set of ?Cosmopolis? is a great place to work - Robert Pattinson ended up with a pie in the face during his scenes last night (June 28).
The ?New Moon? hunk looked to be having a marvelous time as he strolled around the Toronto set with whipped cream on his face.
Rob shared a laugh over the whole thing with the film?s director?s daughter Caitlin Cronenberg and licked the pie from his face.
Then again, the sweet treat may have been just what Pattinson needed after a long and grueling day of work.
