The advent of electric cars has changed the world of automobiles, although there is no revolution going on just yet. Nissan’s LEAF is a decent ride where electric vehicles are concerned, but it seems that there is a whole lot more work that can be done on the existing infrastructure in order to ensure that electric vehicles would be convenient enough to drive around in. Quick chargers, for instance, would be useful to have around – and Nissan has plans to expand the number of its quick chargers throughout the US. In fact, there are around 800 quick chargers that comply with the CHAdeMO standard that are installed in the US, and by April 1, 2016 (no, this is no April Fool’s joke), the number of quick chargers is expected to hit 1,700 thereabouts.
As for some of the cities out there, they would include the likes of Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco where quick-charger availability is concerned. This would definitely go some way in encouraging the sales of the Nissan LEAF ride, and in the previous summer, we saw Nissan roll out its “No Charge to Charge” program which enabled new Leaf buyers to enjoy free charging at participating public charging stations – for up to two years, now how about that?

In fact, Google has also announced that they too, have come to an agreement with the NFL in time for one of the biggest sporting events in the US each year – the Super Bowl. This means there is an NFL YouTube channel just meant for official highlights, where Google will also deliver the likes of video, scores, broadcast times and other information within its search results.
You know for sure that a computer will need juice – or electricity to run, and even more so when it comes to laptops. Now, with the advent of Ultrabooks, laptops do happen to run for a few hours on end before requiring a recharge. The thing is, can your laptop actually last for a good 18 hours at a stretch? The refreshed Panasonic Toughbook 31 certainly can, and if you were to throw in the optional second battery, we are looking at a battery life of up to 27 hours, now how about that for long lasting?
We do know that records are meant to be broken, and if you happen to hold a world record, that is definitely an achievement which is worth trumpeting about, as well as drool over. Planetside 2 has done just that – achieving a brand new world record by having the most players ever to participate in a first-person shooter title at any one time. Just how many gamers are we talking about here? How does a whopping 1,158 players in a single battle sound to you?

Try not to let it worry you, but a 550 meter wide chunk of space rock is going to hurtle past Earth at more than 33,000 mph very soon, another near-miss asteroid a celestially-slight 745,000 miles from our planet. While it may not sound all that close – the moon is on average 239k miles from us – asteroid 2004 …
