CNN to acquire Mashable?
There are reports that the most popular news website in the US is planning to buy the world's most popular social media news site. A Reuters reporter stated that an announcement of the acquisition would arrive on Tuesday morning, but CNN declined to comment on the acquisition.  

This wouldn't be the first time that CNN invests in technology based acquisitions, as it bought the iPad magazine app Zite for $25 million in 2011.

The driver reportedly said he wanted people "to understand the beauty of a Ferrari."
