robot drummer has plenty of rhythm on [technabob]

The Yellow Drum Machine drives around the room looking for things that might make an interesting sound when tapped on. If he likes what he hears, he starts going to town with a little riff. Once hes bored, he moves on, looking for something else to make noise with.

This is just adorable. I like its “eyes” that even move rhythmically. Really clever. I can imagine that if you knew the basics this wouldn’t be a phd-level project either. Imagine if Honda or another top robotics…

Jeff Bewkes, Time Warners chief executive, said that the companys Warner Brothers studio will now release movies for video-on-demand systems on the same day they are released as DVDs.

All this represents the beginning of the end for the Hollywood system of sales windows? that are used to extract the most profits from a movie. Still, films are released first to theaters, and they are only available on…

It’s a bit misleading to say that the iPhone has a “higher priced data and calling plan” because readers might think that the iPhone voice+data plan costs more than other voice+data plans, when what you are…

How the Media Abandoned the Environment

No, youre not imagining things. With U.S. gasoline prices edging toward $4.00 a gallon; oil prices at an all-time high, demand for materials such as copper outstripping demand; worldwide food shortages; major cities running short on water … youd think the environment would be front-and-center on the evening news. And youd be wrong.

All this is happening at a time of unparalleled progress in environmental technology and business. Corporations have genuinely embraced sustainability as a necessary component of profitability. The CleanTech and green collar sector is roaring…

Google’s pointers on countering Web spam

Matt Cutts, head of Google’s Webspam team and an engineer who’s been working on the problem for eight years, offered some tips about combating it during a speech at the Web 2.0 Expo here.
