If you cast your minds back to the appearance of the Sony Rolly, you’ll remember it flapped its wings, but like a little chick, it couldn’t take flight. Someone, somewhere, taught one of the rolling robot’s cousins how to fly. https://gizmodo.com/sony-rolly-rollies-into-us-391976 It may only be small, but if the University of Minnesota’s Center for Distributed…

I Want to Order McDonald’s From a Touchscreen Too

I’m not envious of Europe often, but I’m super jealous of this: McDonald’s in Europe is starting to roll out new touchscreen terminals that only accept credit/debit card transactions. This will replace cashiers and cash from the ordering process. Maybe it’s a little anti-social but I’ve been dreaming about the day where I can mosey…

This Is the Delicious Breakfast That Shuttle Astronauts Had Today

Two grilled lobster tails, one baked potato, butter and sour cream. That’s what Mike Fincke—USAF Colonel and STS-134 Mission Specialist 1 in the space shuttle Endeavour—had for his “send off” breakfast today, just before the launch.

The Samsung Galaxy S II Is Going to Be Called Something Stupid

Last year, my friends told me they loved their new Fascinate (or Vibrant/Captivate/Epic) and I thought what the hell kind of dumb name for a dumpphone that was. But I was wrong! It’s a Galaxy S! An amazing Android phone. Well, I’m not entirely wrong. The carriers or whomever that is re-branding these phones are…

Seagate’s New Hard Drive Transfers Media To and From Your iPhone, Android or Tablet Over Wi-Fi

It must be scary, offering traditional storage in these cloud-based times. Seagate’s obviously thought long and hard over this one, and whacked Wi-Fi into their new GoFlex 500GB drive, so you can store/draw from your data-bank, using your phone.
