2013 Holden Commodore VF show car - front three-quarter view

With arch rival Ford of Australia having announced earlier this week that it will cease all in-continent manufacturing in 2016, you might think that General Motors' Holden division might be feeling a bit more confident about its future prospects. Yet that doesn't necessarily appear to be the case. At least for the moment, Ford's headline-grabbing announcement may take some of the wind out of the sails of Holden's new VF Commodore lineup (SS model pictured above), a critical new range launching right now. Further, the same high assembly costs that are being blamed for Ford shuttering its plants Down Under also affect Holden, and then there's the as-yet-unknown effect of the Blue Oval's pullout on Australia's supplier base, much of which the two companies share.

According to an official statement attributed to Holden chairman Mike Devereux, the automaker is holding hands on both sides of the country's political aisle as he works to secure government goodwill and understanding for the auto industry's challenges. For the moment, Holden's commitment to Australian production appears stronger than Ford. Devereux notes the company has already vetted a 10-year production plan with the Australian government, and the billion-dollar investment that it requires will result in a pair of new global vehicles. Needless to say, Holden executives have a lot to figure out if they're going to continue to a viable enterprise in Down Under, and Ford's departure may add a sense of urgency to those discussions.

]]> House legend Marc Kinchen — who we’ve come to know as a DJ and producer as MK — has put his signature classic house touch over Sinead Harnett’s “Got Me.” The original track — which got help on the production front from Eats Everything and Lukas — features Sinead’s full-body, delicate female vocal, creating an elegant platform for MK to transform into a dance-minded release. MK has once again delivered a prime cut for the 21st century dance music scene.

We were joined on Thursday by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers general partner John Doerr in the amphitheater of Atlassian’s San Francisco office, where he and PandoDaily’s Sarah Lacy discussed everything from venture capital to the Xbox One and what it might mean for Microsoft’s future.

Doerr also shared his list of the greatest entrepreneurs of the last half-century, why cleantech might not be the nightmare it’s portrayed to be, and his opinion that the tech industry is “doing a good job” in politics. And there was Doerr’s contention that Google Glass is not a “Segway for your face” — he should know, given his investment in the actual, honest-to-goodness Segway itself — and that entrepreneurs are more excited about Glass than they were about smartphones.

The full video is available below. We’d like to thank Atlassian for enabling our last-minute venue change and TriNet for sponsoring the event itself. Our next PandoMonthly will be with Union Square Ventures’ Fred Wilson in New York on June 13.

Humans are habitual creatures. We fall into habits and routines to help us get through the day, but after awhile, some of those habits might become unnecessary, and can cause us to constantly feel busy or overwhelmed. Every few months, it's worth stepping back and taking inventory to break out of the cycle of busyness.

Nissan NV200 taxi - front three-quarter view

Nissan scored a big win for itself when the NV200 was named New York City's Taxi of Tomorrow, but the compact van has been under attack ever since. The latest setback for Nissan comes from the New York Supreme Court, which has reportedly ruled the deal between NYC and Nissan is "null, void and unenforceable" since the NV200 is not a hybrid - one of the key parts of NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg Taxi of Tomorrow plan.

The NV200 Taxi launches this October. Although Nissan says it is bringing a hybrid version of the van to market in 2015, the New York Supreme Court ruled against Nissan, which opens the door for taxi companies in NYC to drive non-Nissan hybrid vehicles. Despite this setback, it doesn't sound like this ruling will affect the NV200 becoming the official taxi of NYC as a part of the 10-year contract worth an estimated $1 billion.
