    Also notice how they'll be able to trample over us, and humiliate us with wet willies and purple nurples.

    Humanity won't only be conquered or exterminated by robots... it'll also suffer the worst types of humiliations ever. T_T #hubu2robot

    @Software_Goddess: I've been solidly in the AMD camp for many, many years myself. I've never been anti-Intel, but I always appreciated lower-cost alternatives who tried harder to innovate. I even used to build my own systems with Cyrix processors, back in the day. #amd7ghz

    I bet everyone here is thinking one of two things:

    1) Some humorous prediction that the Japanese plane will be cheaper, more reliable, and more fuel efficient than American planes. Edit: with 2x as many cup holders.

    2) It will be able to turn into a robot.

    Military Might rarely comes from technology advancements. It usually comes from $$$ and logistics.

    It's one thing to create one top-secret "Firefox" jet. It's another thing entirely to build 350 of them, and keep them repaired, fueled, and armed.

    Shee caressed the SH*T outta that little ball. I'm uncomfortable right now... I need an adult!

    Cool lamp tho. How to get? Does it come with spare balls, you know, just in case?

    "Damn kids, always stealing my balls!"

    But seriously, if you watch the video, you see the girl (yes, girl, for all you genderly-challenged readers) pass her hand between the ball and the lamp, which she wouldn't do if she wasn't trying to prove that there's no wire. She only sorta passes her hand between them, probably because of concerns (valid or not) that putting too much meat between the magnets will either disrupt their hold on each other or (not valid at all) result in the magnets snapping together on her hand.

    As for the gap, would it be possible for precise weight control to result in a magnetic pull that's exactly equivalent to gravity, thus resulting in a neutrally-bouyant magnetic field? Only problem with that is that it might work differently at different altitudes.

    Oh yeah, and the reason the lamp is lopsided is that in the middle of the flat-ish spot there's a small black dot where the ball is magnetically connected for storage when the lamp is turned off.

    Very nice design, elegant and simple. Unfortunately it wouldn't last in a home with children or cats. Maybe an office. #fiatluxlamp
