Sorry, that’s not actually Dark Helmet, it’s a researcher demonstrating the latest Brain Machine Interface (BMI) cooked up for robotics. While it’s not looking too portable, it’s a far nimbler setup than the original MRI Scanner first concocted by Honda to control robots in near real-time back in 2006. This time, Honda Research Institute in [...]

We’d guess that Acer wouldn’t intentionally put itself in any sort of contretemps, but its actions are proving otherwise. As ASUS did (and continues to do), it seems that Acer is moving closer and closer to obliterating any semblance of separation between its Aspire netbooks. Shortly after hearing of the 11.6-inch Aspire One comes an [...]
According to folks over at Android Community, Google has begun to pull tethering applications from the G1’s Market. One of the contributors to the “WiFi Tether for Root Users” app claims that the company is citing distribution agreements with carriers as the cause of the takedowns. In their words:
Google enters into distribution agreements with device [...]
HP MediaSmart Server enthusiast skeeter has uncovered what looks like the latest addition to the line, the LX195. Sporting a mere 640GB, MediaSmartServer.net speculates this edition could be a single drive model, slotting in below the EX475 and EX485 with additional hard drive space added via USB. That’s all there is to know, at least [...]
The folks at TrackingTheWorld have already proven themselves to be pretty capable at tracking letters using GPS, but they’ve now moved up to some considerably more demanding tasks with their new WorldTracker Enduro device, which promises to track anything it’s paired with through frigid temperatures, sweltering heat, and other harsh conditions. Of course, it’ll also [...]
Finally, we can stop playing hide and seek with Samsung’s 2009 lineup of edge lit LED HDTVs, now that its loosed official pricing and availability details for screens hitting shelves between now and June. They’ve already been busy popping up everywhere — around the world, in stores near you, on Best Buy’s website, and Samsung’s [...]
Think the world is your oyster? Think you’ve got it all figured out? Think again, bub. ENESS’ appropriately named Humble Telescope is an interactive installation that presents a 3D simulation of our entire known universe to anyone who dares peer in. Viewers simply point the “telescope” in any direction, and instantaneously they’re presented with what [...]
Given that most cats aren’t really the talkative type, we can definitely understand scoopmycatbox’s desire to rig up a water dish (vid’s after the break) that does the yapping for his dearest kitty. Put as simply as possible, the ultrasonic water level cat dish combines an Arduino, Parallax range finder, some scrap wood and a [...]
Shuttle’s back with another mini HTPC, the H7 4500H, only this time you can swap out that DVB-T tuner with a DVB-S for satellite TV. The cost of going for the latter means you have to settle onboard graphics only, but either way you’re still getting DVR capabilities and Windows Media Center. Max configuration for [...]
We finally managed to wrestle one of the sleek Studio XPSs from Dell’s mitts, and we’ve got the pics to prove it. At first glance, the 13-inch laptop is striking, with its leather wrapped back and high gloss finish. However, we have a few minor quibbles that make the laptop a little less exciting than [...]
The big CTIA Wireless show in Vegas continues to crank out mobility news with the launch of Ericsson’s F3607gw HSPA/GPRS/EDGE broadband module. The Windows 7 lovin’ module’s unique “wake-on wireless” feature allows your laptop to sleep until important messages or security updates are sent over the air. Combine that little trick with F3607gw’s embedded GPS [...]
We track a lot of things claiming to be the smallest or thinnest this-or-that, but, when it comes to network-attached storage, we can’t say as we’ve been breaking out our rulers all that often. So, when Thecus says its N0204 miniNAS is the world’s smallest, we’ll take them for their word. Little bigger than an [...]
We’ve already seen Samsung’s Q2 and U5 media players out and about, but just today the company has made the pair official here in the US of A. Starting with the YP-Q2 PMP, you’ll find both 8GB and 16GB variants with 50 hours of battery life, a 2.4-inch QVGA display, black and white color options, [...]
Remember how last week China Unicom brazenly threw up product images for the iPhone and a few other smartphones, implying that in the very near future it would be providing service to them? Well, funny story: turns out the company’s chairman, Chang Xiaobing, is now saying negotiations are actually still ongoing with Apple and that [...]
