Hello Kitty Angel of Death Robot Ploughs Corpses

I had the pleasure of meeting BEAR today, a Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot designed by Vecna Robotics. Although BEAR is intended to aid in building excavation and long-distance transport, his main purpose is to replace the guy who was last to call "Not it!" when it came to fetching the dead bodies in the trenches…

As if drinking regular water isn’t enough for kids these days, Pur is introducing Pur Flavor Options, which is a fruit cartridge you can stick into their Pur water filter systems. The upshot?

Speaker Handbag and Outfit: Share Your Personal Soundtrack with the World

You’re not looking at simply a pair of speakers stuck into a dress and handbag, or the newest iPod accessory. Oh no, you’re peering at Yuga, “a set of wearable coping mechanisms designed for urban rhytms [sic].” The purse purportedly “helps managing feelings of frustration” while the dress/belt speaker supposedly “deals with attention.” Taking readings…

HP e-Book Reader Design Fakes Turning Pages

Although there’ve been lots of eBooks the past year, none of them have had this HP concept that was demoed at the HP Mobility Summit. Instead of pressing a button to turn the page (which you can presumably still do) there are touch strips on the top, bottom, and sides of the ebook that you…

The Wassup Speaker Looks Like a Pokemon, is Ten Years Too Late On Catchphrase

The strange company b2 has announced their newest speaker line, the Wassup. Normally naming a speaker “Wassup” would be strange enough, but these guys have put in the extra effort and made their speaker shaped like a rabbit Pokemon. Buneary, is what we’d say it was. There’s no doubt these speakers are going to sound…

Where’s Motorola’s Flagship Phone?

That’s Ed Zander, Motorola CEO drop testing a new Moto made with stronger materials. What else is he dropping? Two things: First, I’m very glad to see Motorola reemphasizing their UI and OS development. Secondly, it’s also nice to see their ultra hyped “Media Monster” device, the z8, get interesting updates like the cable box…

Some genius doctors at the Mayo clinic built a “vertical desk,” essentially a treadmill with a computer attached, and found out that if you walked all day while working instead of sat you would lose weight. Who’s paying these people? Seriously, are you surprised that obese people lost weight when forced to walk 8 hours…

Ultimate Motorola RAZR 2 Launch Guide

Motorola’s mystery announcement is well in the clear by now. Those of you who speculated that it would be BLAZR, TAZR, LAZR, GAZR, CLVR, LOSR, KRPR, and (my favorite) POOPR were trumped by the infinitely more imaginative “RAZR 2”. Naming qualms and reminiscent styling aside, there are good reasons to believe this RAZR is entirely…

Laser Helicopters Fulfill 2 of My 3 Childhood Fantasies
