Yet another browser has shown up and claims will become more popular than Chrome. Not likely given Google’s extended reach but SRWare do claim that you have more privacy and are more up-to-date with WebKit and JavaScript engines.

Electric Mini

BMW have unveiled a electric mini named the “Mini E” that features a 150-kilowatt (204 horsepower) motor and a top speed of just over 150 km/h and a range of up to 240 km’s. Not as quick as the Tesla reaching from 0 – 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds but just as many seats. The back seats have been removed to accommodate the battery, which in turn has led to a slightly heavier Mini with a 50-50 front/rear weight ratio.

Interesting to note that even though charging the Mini E requires generation from another power source, that even if that power source is a coal powered station, it will still produce less CO2 than internal combustion vehicles.
