Terminator Teaser Trailer is Seizure-inducing Robot Carnage
This flash-happy Terminator 4 — ahem, Terminator Salvation — teaser trailer posted on io9 teaches us the film will have skull crushing, robots running around everywhere, explosions and Christian Bale looking really, really confused. Then it pulls a "One More Thing..." and breaks out the AQUA KILL-BOT, which looked pretty epic for the half second of which you could see half its body. Whoa. [io9]
Hasta La Vista, Lil' Mama
I thought I had seen the last of the WowWee singing Elvis robot last summer when Wilson skinned the thing and gave me nightmares. I was wrong. Instructables user GW Jax has put his Elvinator on display, which combines "The King" with T101, the king of death.

The UK has just sent up a new communications satellite that's completed their Skynet, the highly-advanced network that's going to give them the ability to allow robotic military units at long range. You know, like in the apocalyptic vision of the future from the Terminator movies. The network's name in those movies? Skynet. Have you learned nothing, England?!

Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins has started production in the New Mexico desert, with Christian Bale and Sam Worthington on board to star in the film as John Connor and Marcus Wright, respectively. The movie website is currently a blank page, but there's a strong possibility it will launch sometime tomorrow. (So keep refreshing, fanboys!)

We like Terminator as much as we hate companies who rip-off the work of artists without even crediting them. This is apparently what happened with the poster used to promote the bland Sarah Connor Cronicles TV series: some blogs are reporting that the Fox channel's poster was allegedly copied straight from a striking montage created by someone else before the series were even announced. Compare the full images after the jump (NSFW).

Retinal Imaging Display Glasses Make Terminator Vision Possible
Japan-based Brother Industries has created a wearable, portable version of its retinal imaging display (RID) technology, which gives people the chance to see things Terminator-style. How is this different than other HUD glasses we've seen? The new RID prototype attaches to a basic set of spectacles and works by focusing light onto the retina, moving it at high speeds to generate images that look like they exist right in front of the user. Too bad the source box is freaking enormous. More »

When we last saw MacroSwiss's Spybot it only had four wheels and minimal sensors. Their new Spyrobot model adds thermal sensing, synthetic aperture radar, and two extra wheels, which help give it the ant-like ability to carry four times its own weight. MacroSwiss also added the ability to navigate back to home base autonomously, similar to some UAVs. Apart from that limited intelligence, the weapon ready robot is still fully controlled by a remote operator—for now. [MacroSwiss via gizmag]

EyeClops Night Vision Goggles, My Secret Manhunt Weapon
The EyeClops Night Vision goggles let you see in total darkness using infrared lights, all while giving you that special Terminator look. Two attachments allow visibility 10 or 20 feet ahead—the 10-footers give off no light, the 20s show some small red dots. I tried them on in a pitch black room and saw every poster on the wall easily. They're $80, and they'll be out sometime this fall. A giant game of Manhunt in Prospect Park will follow shortly after. [EyeClops]

DARPA Building Neuromorphic Brain on a Chip (Paging Sarah Connor)
DARPA's brain-on-a-chip project (cleverly titled SyNAPSE, or Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics) sounds straight out of Cyberdyne's portfolio: They want to "develop a brain inspired electronic 'chip' that mimics that function, size, and power consumption of a biological cortex." That whole neuromorphic adaptive business sounds a whole lot like the T-800's neural net processor, don't it? Here's the scary manifesto that puts us on the path to Judgment Day. More »

Israeli Military Wants to Build Artificially Intelligent Missile Defense System, a.k.a. Skynet
If news of the Israeli military developing a robotic defense system that's completely AI and human-independent doesn't scare you, you haven't watched as many Terminator movies as we have. Their system, which defends against attacks that would "exceed physiological limits of human command," is described thusly. More »

Build Me If You Want to Live, Lego Terminator Skull Gives Us the Evil Eye
We love Lego, we do, but this evil Lego skull, inspired by Arnie's death-machine Terminator, is almost a step too far toward science-fiction-becomes-reality-and-rips-our-neck-apart. Those eyes are following me! Ok, so those eyes are actually motor driven using parts from a Mindstorms set, as is the chomping jaw, but its creator Snyderman has gone so far beyond the usual comfy Lego model it's creepy. Thank god he restrained himself to just the skull. Still, a good way to entertain yourself while waiting for the next Sarah Connor Chronicle. [Brothers Brick via Gizmowatch]

Get Your Own Terminator
What do you get for the man who has everything this Christmas? Well does he have a Terminator? No, we didn't ask if he had HD DVD. Does he have a Terminator? Yeah, that's what we thought. Well, if you're sincere about getting the man who "has everything" something he doesn't have, then maybe you should pick this one up. More »

We probably shouldn't judge anyone's home theater builds when our own looks like it was built by a seeing eye dog that had to retire because he himself went blind, but this Terminator home theater system seems kind of tacky. Electronic House has the details on the owner, who built it "with no knowledge of CAD," drawing it "freehand on paper." Sure, on paper this 159-inch screen and loads of speakers may seem like a good idea, but when you place it into a setup that looks like silver poop, we'll have to pass. [Electronic House via Dvice]

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Posters, Trailer Are Mildly Sexy
After years of production and planning, coming on January 13, 2008 is the TV version of the venerable Terminator series, entitled Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Depending on your point of view, it's either going to bring a fresh new Terminator into your home every week or completely ruin the entire franchise. Nevertheless, on the next page check out the trailer and arty new posters released by Fox to hype the series, featuring the tough babe cast as Sarah Connor, Brit actress Lena Headey. That gallery is SFW unless you're toiling your life away in the midst of the Amish (and Mennonite) community. More »

Voldemort Vs. Terminator, Who Wins?
Happy Harry Potter Day, techies. But in a fight between magic's biggest badboy and technology's most feared, who would win? Should Harry not fight, but travel through time and reprogram a robot to do his bidding? Will he?? There's only one way to find out. Read the book? No way. Vote and then argue in the comments (without spoiling it if you already know Harry goes all John Connor on His-Ass-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named).
