Sony Aibo's Pre-Death CAT Scans and X-Rays Emerge

Four years after the Aibo puppy was discontinued, some CAT scans and X-rays have emerged showing two of the models' inner parts. The CT scans don't appear to show any abnormalities, but then I'm no doctor. Or roboticist. More »

If you haven't heard of Broken Bells, I highly recommend you check them out. I'm really digging the album.

From Uncrate: A killer collaboration between James Mercer of The Shins & Danger Mouse, Broken Bells ($10) sounds more-or-less exactly how you'd expect. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Filled with light, floaty melodies that belie the eponymous album's gloomy lyrics, Bells mixes Mercer's distinctive voice and subtle guitar strumming with the alien sounds and funky beats DM is known for, creating a new, yet familiar sound that's satisfying, but nothing revolutionary — kinda like the last couple iterations of the iPhone.

The High Road - Broken Bells

#observation I just wanted to say that I am impressed with how the editorial/writing body here at Gizmodo is policing the comments, as well as each other as staff, moderator and commenter/reader alike.

For the first time on a Gawker website, I have observed the Editor-In-Chief show accountability for his area of responsibility (Gizmodo) and showing candor in a lapse of judgement from one of his writers (which shall go unnamed in this post.)

I have also noticed a PROFESSIONAL and COURTEOUS handling and moderation of the threads on this Gawker site that shows that the staff here are leaps and bounds above the other Gawker sites.

I have a newfound respect for Gizmodo, and look forward to any further pleasant surprises that I see on here.

Hopefully, other Gawker sites will take note at the progress made here and attempt to emulate it. From my grievances with a certain Gawker website, they could certainly learn a thing or a thousand from here!

Regards,

@nachobel TOTORO!: I'm asking for follow-up for two reasons:

1. You want me to ask.

2. I actually do want to know.

@Slyd3z: My second favorite thing about you is your modesty.

@Slyd3z: The problem is as an unstarred commenter, you look for promotions as validation. The inherent flaw is that sometimes starred people will appreciate your comment without promotion.

I know I've done that at least...
