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.

Orkut continues to undermine Google’s
Data Liberation Front, whose singular goal is to "make it easier for users to move their data in and out of Google products". Earlier this month the Orkut friend exporter, which makes it easy to export your friends' contact information to a standard CSV file, was mysteriously
broken due to a bug. The timing of the bug was more than a little suspect — Orkut has been
hemorrhaging users lately in India and Brazil as people flock to Facebook, which takes advantage of Orkut's friend export tool to help users make the switch. Now Julio Vasconcellos over at
Armchairfounder has noticed how Orkut managed to fix their bug while still making it harder for members to switch to Facebook: the tool works, but it no longer includes your friends' Email addresses.

Earlier this year, "Sixth Sense Technology" from MIT---basically, a visual interface system that allows you and the computer in your cell phone to communicate in some truly astounding ways---was a big hit at TED. This week, at TED India, inventor Pranav Mistry announced that the technology will be released as open source...in a matter of months. "Rather than waiting for that time to come, I want people to make their own system. Why not?," Mistry says in an article on Rediff Business. "People will be able to make their own hardware. I will give them instructions how to make it. And also provide them key software...give them basic key software layers...they will be able to build their own applications. They will be able to modify base level and do anything". Makers, start your engines. Mistry to make digital "Sixth Sense" open source on Rediff Business The importance of Sixth Sense going open source on zdnet Sixth Sense augmented reality device goes open source on Singularity Hub (natch)...
