Worlds first Open source Car!



A group of Dutch researchers recently took the wraps off what they claim to be the world's first open source car, rolling out their "c,mm,n" vehicle (pronounced "common") at the AutoRAI car show in Amsterdam for all to see and potentially modify.

Yahoo! decides to go open yet again...

Yahoo! has done it again, some months ago they showed interest towards Open development by giving out the code for their AJAX Libraries, now they take a call to give out the source of one of their legendary and killer service, Yahoo! Mail.

This was announced by Yahoo! officials along with Chad Dickerson, head of the company's software developer relations program, on September 30th 2006.

Lets hope that other Services like GMail, Rediff and Spymac open up too for there are lots of developers in the community who can make all these services better.
