Chairbot Walks You Around While You Sit

What do you get when you combine a robot and a chair? The Hubo FX-1 chairbot, of course. In what is perhaps my favorite robot design yet, this giant chair with legs looks like it came out of some ridiculous ’80s sci-fi movie or something, but it’s very, very real. It looks good so far,…

Microsoft Discovers Synergy, Launches “Ignition” Promotional Platform Across Zune, Xbox and MSN

With its mind increasingly turned to advertising, Microsoft has decided to put its multi-platform positioning to use as a promotional powerhouse. Lamely dubbed Ignition (good Offspring album, bad mid-90s connotation), the program pimps artists (currently, but don’t be surprised to see movies, TV shows, etc.) across Zune, Xbox Live and MSN. https://gizmodo.com/quick-news-yahoo-cto-heads-out-and-more-264869 The first artist…

Apple ][‘s 30th Birthday

The Apple ][ was the first MacApple [Update: Thx for the fact-check, fanboys] I’d ever used. I spent Summers in Hong Kong with the grandparents, and one year I got computer “lessons” on it.

Hands-On With Kingston’s microSD Card Reader Bundles

It seems almost all the new cellphones we see have switched over to using the tiny microSD cards for external storage, which means in order to transfer up some data you’re going to have to carry around both a microSD to SD adapter and a standard card reader.
