Serious science stuff. More » -

Desk-Sized Coca-Cola Robots Don't Dispense Drinks, Human Kindness
These scaled-down replicas of walking coke dispensers found on the streets of Japan would be cute additions to anyone's desk. As well as the black Coke Zero model above, there's a regular version, and they come in the most fabulous of retro boxes. They were available on eBay, but it looks like they're currently sold out. Perhaps it's worth contacting the seller to see if he's going to import any more. Gallery, including a picture of one the life-sized vending machines, after the jump. More »

Pepsi Cappuccino
I'm not entirely sure how Gizmodo waded into this Coke vs. Pepsi thing—isn't Nokia vs. Motorola and Apple vs. Everything Else enough? But Gizmodo loves coffee, and after writing about Coke Blak yesterday, reader Yves sent us this update on the cola-coffee wars:Coke is actually one step behind Pepsi which just market-tested Pepsi Cappuccino in Switzerland and Eastern Europe.
