In case you haven't noticed, we've been living in the future for a little while now. So while that means we have semi-affordable electric cars and computers that fit into our pockets, it doesn't mean that we've got all our problems licked. However, a new charging station for the all-electric Nissan Leaf does get us a little bit closer by allowing users to pull power from the car to for use in their home.

iAds, Apple's vaunted venture into the brave new world of targeted mobile advertising, are officially going live today on some iOS 4-equipped iPhones. The Nissan Leaf ad above, which Steve Jobs demoed during his WWDC 2010 keynote, is the first iAd on the scene, and incorporates audio and video components.

MacRumors reports that the iAd launch has been a bumpy one: They write that iAd advertisements' "presence appears to be very spotty on iAd-compatible applications at the moment with banners appearing only occasionally while at other times the apps simply show blank space in the banner location."
