I. Don't. Eat. Penguins.

Weekend blog-post #1....here we go...

  • iPod In Motion
This is a new neat little piece of technology to add to the iPod. For those of you that don't know what the iPod is, first off wow that's crazy, second, go get edumacated! It is aimed at those listening who their iPod during the cold winter months...or those of you that are just plain to lazy to reach into your pocket to click the little buttons on your mp3 player (Me!). As always make sure to check out the demo videos, although this time you will need the DivX Player as they are encoded in the DivX format...

  • Emotional Metal
Robots are one step closer to becoming the do-everything robot of the future. This new robot, developed in Japan, can smile and frown. The main feature of it is the fact that it can sort through foods and find what tastes 'good', you'll have to actually look through the article but what it basically says is that the robot searches over the internet to find mixed opinions about the food it is looking at, when all opinions are considered and there is more of a positive feeling towards the food the robot will smile, if not it will frown. Unfortuanatly I can't seem to get the video to work on my computer, but you can try it to see if you have any better luck...Edit: I finally got it to work, it just took awhile to load...

  • Microsoft VS. Google...Again
Here is a....well...interesting read on the latest Microsoft VS. Google law suit...For those of you that don't already know, Bill Gates is not the CEO of Microsoft anymore, he has resigned back down to a programming post. The newest CEO is Steve Ballmer who has been with the company since almost it's beginning. The most interesting part of this article to me is the part about Steve Ballmer going crazy in the office, yelling explicits and vowing to 'kill' Google. Interesting indeed.

  • Marvel of Technology
Well, you know that all of the latest and greatest technologies have been developed when someone comes around and creates this. As you can tell by the video the creators obviously aren't very serious about what they made...interesting technology though...I guess. Note: You may need to download Quicktime to view the video.

And on a closing note, I don't eat Penguins...It's true.
