Geely recently unveiled its Gleagle IG that comes with a solar panel on its front bonnet, presumably to help juice up its batteries by some bit whenever you are parked under the sun (or stuck in rush hour traffic, for that matter). Surely the solar panel won’t be able to charge its internal battery fully unless you leave it out for weeks on end (great for towering term parking in an open air carpark), but at least it does help a wee bit each day.

Check out that experimental robot mouth from Japan (where else) that is a pretty worthy attempt to teach robots to talk – while it is still a lengthy way off from robots being as intelligent as the ones we see in sci-fi movies, at least it is a start.

Looks like the “war” rages on, with Google updating a page which tracks the status of its services in China to indicate that its “Mobile” service there is now partly blocked. that might probably mean a service disruption for perhaps one, or all of the features (heaven forbid) that Google offers to users of Google-powered phones, and among these would include the mobile version of its search, e-mail, mapping and social networking services. On the marketing side, we think that that is a wee bit discomforting since it might mean more folks in China picking up the iPhone instead of an Android-powered handset – and considering China’s every growing middle class as well as the population there, it could end up being a considerable profit for whichever company that comes out tops.
