General Motors introduced a new model of Chevrolet Equiox in Beijing that runs on hydrogen, making the beleaguered automaker the most recent company to take a big bet on the electric vehicle market in China. Also, India would adopt electric cars faster than other countries because of the size and relative lack of reliance on gasoline for transport.

Look, here's what you need to do: reach into the appropriate pocket on your personage, take out your phone, and throw it into the nearest wall. It sucks. The N70 from Lanye (or ChinaKing, or... somebody from China), which we've drooled over previously, is a candybar phone with a 2.4-inch screen, Bluetooth 2.0, and a little bit of dual-band GSM. Oh, and a built-in projector. And an interface that almost perfectly mirrors that of the iPhone with the addition of voice recording and MMS. It's awesome, and it's now available for import for a mere $345. A bargain at any price.

A Cure For Chinese Drywall?

Posted by blogs@bobvila.com (Ben) on under chlorine dioxide, sulfur compounds, wrg, drywall, sabre, embarrassment, china |

It might be too late to spare China's embarrassment over the contaminated drywall mess, but apparently it isn't too late to right their wrong. That's what Sabre Technical Services is doing, with their chlorine dioxide decontamination process which -- once injected into the tainted drywall -- renders the problematic reduced sulfur compounds inert. The company claims that the process requires homeowners to vacate their home for less than a week and costs less than the "rip and ...
